Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit Things to Do with Family, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
This policy is written to align with major privacy frameworks, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Canada’s PIPEDA, since our readers come from all over the world.
Who We Are
Things to Do with Family is a travel website covering destinations around the globe — from major cities like Seattle and Florida to islands and regions like Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and Tauranga. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can reach us at:

Information We Collect
1. Information you give us directly
- Newsletter sign-up: your name (if provided) and email address.
- Contact form or email: your name, email address, and any details you choose to include in your message.
- Comments (if enabled): name, email address, and the content of your comment.
2. Information collected automatically When you visit our site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring website
- General browsing behavior, gathered through analytics tools
3. Information from third parties If you arrive at our site via a partner, advertiser, or affiliate link, that third party may share limited data with us (such as that a referral occurred), in accordance with their own privacy policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send our newsletter and respond to inquiries you send us
- Improve our content, guides, and overall site experience
- Understand which destinations and articles are most useful to readers
- Measure the performance of affiliate links and recommendations
- Detect and prevent spam, abuse, or security issues
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to:
- Remember your preferences
- Understand how visitors use our site (via analytics tools such as Google Analytics)
- Support affiliate and advertising partners in tracking referrals
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.
Affiliate Links & Advertising
Things to Do with Family participates in affiliate marketing programs, including partnerships with hotel booking platforms, tour operators, and travel-related services. This means that if you click a link on our site and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
These third-party platforms (such as booking and travel partners) may use their own cookies and tracking tools to monitor referrals and conversions. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties, as we are not responsible for their data practices.
Third-Party Service Providers
We may use trusted third-party services to operate our site and newsletter, such as:
- Email marketing/newsletter platforms
- Website analytics providers
- Hosting providers
These providers only access the data necessary to perform their function and are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy — for example, your email address is kept for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter, or until you ask us to delete it.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your personal data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent at any time (for example, unsubscribing from our newsletter)
- Data portability, where applicable
EU/UK residents (GDPR): You have the rights listed above, and may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, and to opt out of its sale — though we do not sell personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at historyoftheworldlive@gmail.com and we’ll respond as promptly as possible.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
International Visitors & Data Transfers
Because we welcome readers from around the world — including the EU, UK, US, Canada, and beyond — your information may be processed or stored in a country other than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
Links to Other Websites
Our site contains links to external websites, including destination guides, booking platforms, and partner sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
