Morocco Traveler Guide privacy policy and traveler data security

1. Personal Identification Information

We may collect personal identification information from users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when users visit our site, submit an inquiry via our contact form, leave a comment on a guide, or subscribe to an informational newsletter. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name and email address. We collect personal identification information only if voluntarily submitted. Users can always refuse to supply personally identifiable information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site-related activities (such as receiving a direct response to a travel question).

2. Non-Personal Telemetry & Log Files

Like virtually all standard web server architectures, our hosting systems automatically log non-personal technical telemetry whenever you interact with our website. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), operating system, date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This telemetry is anonymized and utilized strictly to diagnose server issues, administer site security, track aggregated user movement, and optimize page load performance across mobile and desktop devices.

We partner with third-party advertising companies and networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide targeted advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

5. Affiliate Program Disclosures

Morocco Traveler Guide participates in reputable travel affiliate marketing programs (such as accommodations, guided excursions, and transport services). When you click an affiliate referral link, a tracking cookie is placed by the merchant to assign referral credit should you complete a booking.

We adopt industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption, secure hosting safeguards, and routine vulnerability scanning to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data. We retain personal correspondence records only for the period necessary to fulfill customer support and legal auditing obligations, after which records are securely purged.
