Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

China Travel Smart ("we", "our", or "us") operates as an independent, static editorial resource. We are deeply committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of international travelers who visit our website.

Our Golden Rule: We do NOT sell, rent, or monetize your personal information. Our static website runs on Cloudflare's privacy-first global network without invasive tracking scripts or marketing surveillance cookies.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you choose to contact us via email or submit community feedback, we receive the email address and information you submit in your message. We use this solely to correspond with you and update relevant travel guidelines.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Logs

When you access our static pages, Cloudflare edge servers automatically record standard, non-personally identifiable technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, referral headers, and timestamp). These logs are processed strictly for security, DDoS protection, and cache routing purposes.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We do NOT place advertising tracking cookies or behavioral profiling beacons on your browser.

When you click outbound affiliate links (such as to Trip.com, Airalo, or Booking.com), you are directed to verified third-party partner portals. These external platforms may utilize their own functional cookies to attribute booking transactions and calculate commissions according to their respective privacy policies.

4. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure

Our website contains outbound hyperlinks to third-party travel service providers (including high-speed rail ticket gateways, hotel reservation engines, and roaming eSIM providers). Once you leave our domain, your activities are governed by the privacy practices of those external services. We encourage you to review their terms.

5. Global Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of your geographic location—whether residing in the European Union (GDPR), United Kingdom, or California (CCPA)—you retain the following privacy rights:

• The right to know what personal data (if any) we hold about you.
• The right to request the deletion or correction of your email communications.
• The right to opt-out of any future communications.
