3. What Data We Collect and Why
3.1 Server Log Files
When you visit our website, our hosting provider (IONOS) automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL (the page you came from)
- Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address)
- Date and time of the server request
This data is not merged with other data sources and is automatically deleted after a short retention period. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in ensuring the technically secure and stable operation of our website.
3.2 Contact Form
Our website contains a contact form. If you choose to use it, the information you provide — including your name and email address — will be transmitted to us and stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for follow-up correspondence.
We will not share this data with third parties without your consent. The legal basis for processing contact form submissions is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing necessary to take pre-contractual steps at your request) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry).
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected — typically once your inquiry has been fully resolved and no statutory retention obligations apply.
The contact form on this website is provided by Contact Form 7, a WordPress plugin. Contact Form 7 itself does not store submission data by default. Data submitted via the form is delivered to us by email. Please refer to the Contact Form 7 privacy documentation for further information.
4. Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device by your browser. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function. Others are used for analytics and advertising purposes and are only set with your explicit consent.
4.1 Technically Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They do not collect personal data for tracking or advertising purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4.2 Analytics and Advertising Cookies
With your consent, we may use cookies from Google (Google Analytics and/or Google AdSense) to analyze website traffic and to display relevant advertising. These cookies are only set after you have actively consented via our cookie consent banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences in the banner or in your browser settings.
The legal basis for analytics and advertising cookies is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent).
5. Google Services
5.1 Google AdSense
This website may use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“). Google AdSense uses cookies to display advertisements based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting google.com/settings/ads.
When Google AdSense is active, Google may transfer data to servers in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which provides an appropriate level of data protection. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
The legal basis for using Google AdSense is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given via our cookie consent banner.
5.2 Google Analytics
If active, this website uses Google Analytics to analyze visitor behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized usage data. IP anonymization is enabled, meaning your IP address is shortened before transmission. The data collected is used solely to improve our website.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
6. Affiliate Links
This website contains affiliate links. These are links to third-party websites — such as Booking.com, Amazon, hotel booking platforms, credit card providers, and other commercial partners — through which we may earn a commission if you make a purchase or booking after clicking the link.
When you click an affiliate link, you leave our website and are redirected to the website of the respective third-party provider. That provider’s own privacy policy applies from that point. We have no influence over the data collected by third-party websites and accept no responsibility for their privacy practices.
Affiliate links may include tracking parameters in the URL that allow affiliate networks to attribute referrals to our website. This tracking is handled by the respective affiliate network and subject to their privacy policy. The legal basis for our participation in affiliate programs is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in generating revenue to fund the editorial operation of this website).
Affiliate programs we may participate in include, but are not limited to:
- Booking.com Affiliate Partner Programme
- Amazon Associates
- Marriott, Hilton, IHG and other hotel loyalty affiliate programs
- Credit card affiliate networks (e.g. Financeads, ADCELL, CJ Affiliate)
- GetYourGuide and Viator affiliate programs
7. External Links
Our website contains links to external third-party websites. These links are provided for informational purposes only. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those websites and therefore accept no responsibility for them.
When you click an external link, you leave EliteTravelHabitat.com and enter a website governed by the third party’s own terms and privacy policy. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
8. Social Media Links
Our website contains links to our social media profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter). These are simple hyperlinks — not embedded social media plugins or sharing buttons. Therefore, no data is transmitted to social media platforms merely by visiting our website.
Data is only transmitted to the respective social media platform when you actively click the link and visit the platform. At that point, the platform’s own privacy policy applies.
9. Hosting
This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When you visit our website, IONOS processes certain technical data (including server log files as described in Section 3.1) on our behalf as a data processor. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with IONOS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. For more information, see IONOS’s privacy policy at ionos.com.
10. Data Transfers Outside the EU
Some of the services we use — including Google AdSense and Google Analytics — may transfer personal data to servers in the United States. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
11. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) — You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process personal data about you and, if so, to receive a copy of that data.

- Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) — You have the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) — You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR) — Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: opheliacevans@gmail.com
12. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Contact form data is deleted once the inquiry has been fully resolved. Server log files are deleted automatically after a short retention period by our hosting provider.
13. No User Accounts, Comments, or Memberships
EliteTravelHabitat.com does not offer user registration, login areas, membership areas, or comment sections. No personal data is collected in connection with such features because they do not exist on this website.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. The current version is always available at this URL. We recommend checking this page periodically. Material changes will be indicated by an updated „Last updated“ date at the top of this page.
