Who we are
GABCA Sphere is a travel editorial platform at gabcasphere.com. For privacy enquiries, contact us at contact@gabcasphere.com.
What data we collect
We collect minimal data to operate and improve the site. This may include: anonymised analytics data (pages visited, session duration, country of origin) via Google Analytics 4; affiliate click data (destination, partner clicked) for performance tracking; and email addresses if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter.
How we use your data
Analytics data is used solely to understand how content performs and where to improve. Affiliate click data is used to measure partner performance and ensure accurate commission reporting. Newsletter emails are used only to send editorial updates and destination guides — never sold or shared with third parties.
Cookies
We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics 4) and, when relevant, affiliate partner tracking cookies from Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Trip.com, and TravelPayouts. You can control cookies through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Third-party services
We use Google Analytics for audience analytics. We link to affiliate partner platforms (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Trip.com, TravelPayouts) — their privacy policies govern data collected after you leave our site. We do not control or bear responsibility for third-party data practices.
Data retention
Anonymised analytics data is retained for up to 26 months. Newsletter email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. We do not retain payment data — all bookings are processed directly by affiliate partners.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@gabcasphere.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be noted with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
