1.4. Affiliate Link Tracking

When you click an affiliate link, our partner may place a cookie or tracking identifier to confirm whether a purchase or booking was made. This allows them to attribute commission to PlaceCurator.

4. How We Protect Your Data

We take data security seriously. We use technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption, secure hosting, and restricted access. While no system is completely secure, we work to safeguard your data to the best of our ability.

These providers only process data on our behalf and do not have permission to use it for their own purposes.
