Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Global Plugs collects when you visit globalplugs.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The site is operated by Global Plugs and can be reached at info@globalplugs.com.

What we collect

Global Plugs does not require an account and we do not ask for personal details. We collect a small amount of anonymous information automatically when you use the site:

• Usage data: the pages you view, the country selections you make, your approximate location (city or region level), the device and browser you use, and how you arrived at the site.
• Technical data: IP address (anonymised before storage), referring URL, timestamps, and similar diagnostic information.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device. See our Cookie Policy for the full list and purpose of each cookie.

How we use it

We use the information above to keep the site running, to understand which countries and plug combinations are searched most often so we can improve our content, and to fund the site through advertising.

Third-party services

We rely on two Google services to operate Global Plugs. Both may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.

• Google Analytics measures how the site is used. IP addresses are anonymised before analysis. Google privacy policy.
• Google AdSense serves the advertisements you see on the site. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this site or other sites. How Google uses advertising cookies.

Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on our site and use cookies to do so. You can review participating vendors and opt out of personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices (United States) or youronlinechoices.eu (European Union).

Your choices

• Accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit. You can clear cookies in your browser settings at any time to see the banner again.
• Opt out of personalised advertising from Google at adssettings.google.com.
• Block analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with comparable rules, you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict its processing. Because we do not collect personal identifiers, in practice these requests will usually concern data held by Google under the services described above. Email us at info@globalplugs.com and we will help where we can.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained for the default Google Analytics retention period (14 months at the time of writing). Advertising cookies expire according to Google’s schedule, typically within 24 months.

Children

Global Plugs is a general-audience travel reference site and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it occasionally.
