This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit elitetravelhabitat.com. We have written it to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR and applicable US privacy laws.
1. Who is responsible
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is ADA Sports & Entertainment LLC, represented by Eva Christine Steinmetz, 15442 Ventura Blvd, Suite 201-2553, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403, United States. Email: opheliacevans@gmail.com. Full details are in our Legal Notice (Impressum).
2. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany, on servers within the European Union. When you visit the site, the server automatically records technical information such as your IP address, date and time of access, the page requested, the referring page, and browser and device type. This is necessary to deliver the website securely and to detect misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after a short period, unless they are needed to investigate a security incident. We have a data processing agreement with our host.
3. Cookies and consent
We use the consent management tool Complianz to ask for your permission before setting non-essential cookies or loading tracking technologies. Marketing cookies cover in particular the Travelpayouts script and the Stay22 hotel maps described in section 6. Strictly necessary cookies, including the one that stores your consent choice, are set on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and the applicable ePrivacy rules. All other cookies are only used if you consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Manage consent” button on the site. Details of the individual cookies are listed in our Cookie Policy (EU).
4. Web analytics: Google Analytics
If you consent to statistics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4, integrated via the Google Site Kit plugin, to understand how visitors use our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, approximate location and device information. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
5. Website statistics and security: Jetpack
We use features of Jetpack, provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA, for website security and basic statistics. Jetpack may process IP addresses and technical data. Where cookies or tracking are involved, they are only used with your consent. Automattic is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
6. Affiliate links and partner programmes
Our articles contain affiliate links, mainly provided through the Travelpayouts network (operated by Travelpayouts / Tech Solutions and its partners). When you click such a link, you are taken to the partner’s website (for example Tiqets, WeGoTrip, Klook, Welcome Pickups, Kiwitaxi, Localrent, GetRentacar, Airalo, Saily, Yesim, AirHelp, Radical Storage or EKTA). The partner and Travelpayouts may record that you came from our website, usually by means of a tracking parameter or cookie, so that a commission can be attributed to us if you make a booking. We do not receive your name, payment details or booking details. The partner’s own privacy policy applies to any data you provide on their website. To manage affiliate links on our pages, we may use a Travelpayouts script; where it sets cookies or tracks users, it is only activated with your consent to marketing cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). More information is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Hotel links (Trip.com). Some articles contain links to hotel pages on Trip.com, provided through the Trip.com Affiliate Program, operated by Trip.com Travel Singapore Pte. Ltd. When you click such a link, Trip.com receives a tracking parameter that identifies our website, and may set cookies on its own website, so that a commission can be attributed to us if you make a booking. No data is sent to Trip.com when you simply view our pages. We do not receive your name, payment details or booking details. Trip.com’s own privacy policy applies to any data you provide on its website: Trip.com privacy policy.
Hotel maps and accommodation links (Stay22). Some articles contain an interactive hotel map or accommodation links provided by Stay22 (Stay22 Inc., Montreal, Canada). The map shows hotels and prices from booking partners such as Booking.com, Expedia or Hotels.com. The map is loaded from Stay22’s servers and is only displayed if you have consented to marketing cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); until then you only see a plain text link. When the map is loaded, Stay22 receives technical data such as your IP address, browser information and the page you are viewing, and may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant offers and to attribute a booking to us. If you click through to a booking partner, that partner’s privacy policy applies. More information: Stay22 privacy policy.
7. Contacting us
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we process the data you provide (such as your name, email address and message) in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries or, where your message relates to a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Emails sent from this website may be delivered via an SMTP service. We delete your data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless legal retention obligations apply.
8. Social media profiles
Elite Travel Habitat has profiles on X (formerly Twitter) at x.com/EliteTravelHab and on Pinterest at pinterest.com/elitetravelhabitat. On this website we only use simple links to these profiles. No social media plugins, buttons or embedded content are loaded, so no data is sent to X or Pinterest when you simply visit our pages.
Only when you click one of these links are you taken to the respective platform, where its own privacy policy applies: X Corp. (x.com/en/privacy) and Pinterest Europe Ltd. (policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy). If you interact with our profiles there (for example by following, liking or commenting), the platform and we may process the data you share in doing so. For page insights on these platforms, we and the platform provider may be joint controllers under Art. 26 GDPR. You can exercise your rights directly with the platform or contact us.
To verify ownership of this website with Pinterest, our page header contains a verification tag (a short code line). It does not load any content from Pinterest and does not set cookies.
9. Images
The photographs on this website are stored on our own server. No data is transmitted to the image platforms from which they were licensed when you view our pages.
10. International data transfers
Some of the service providers mentioned above are located in, or may transfer data to, countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the United States and Canada (Stay22). In such cases, transfers are based on an adequacy decision, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s adequacy decision for Canada, or on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
11. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. Cookie lifetimes are listed in our Cookie Policy.
