About
Privacy
The short version: this is a plain static site. No accounts, no login, no advertising trackers, and no cookies set by us.
What's collected
- Basic traffic stats. The site uses a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics service to count page views and referrers in aggregate. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint you, and does not build a profile.
- Standard server logs. The site's host keeps short-lived request logs — IP address, page, timestamp — as any web server does, for security and reliability.
- Visa-alert email, if you sign up. The visa guide has an optional form for one thing only: being emailed when China's entry rules change. If you use it, your email address is stored by a third-party email service (MailerLite) purely to send those alerts — no other mail, no sharing. You confirm the sign-up by clicking a link in a first email, every alert has a one-click unsubscribe, and asking us to delete your address removes it.
What's not collected
- No accounts, passwords or payment details — there's nothing to log into and nothing is sold here.
- No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- No selling or sharing of personal data.
Outbound links
“Book” links redirect through partner sites (see the disclosure page). Once you leave TripIntoChina, the destination site's own privacy policy applies.
