Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

1. Who We Are

ThaiWeatherGuide is a travel weather information website operated as a sole proprietorship based in Thailand. We help travellers find the best time to visit any of Thailand's 77 provinces. You can contact us at: hello@thaiweatherguide.com

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to operate the site:

• Email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter. We use this solely to send monthly Thailand travel weather updates.
• Usage data — anonymous analytics such as pages visited, time on site, and country of origin, collected via Google Analytics (if enabled). This data cannot identify you personally.
• Technical data — your IP address, browser type, and device type may be logged automatically by our hosting provider (Cloudflare). This is standard for all websites.

We do not collect your name, phone number, payment details, or any sensitive personal information.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To send you the newsletter you subscribed to (email only)
• To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
• To ensure the website functions correctly and securely

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Partners

ThaiWeatherGuide contains affiliate links to the following services. When you click these links and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you:

• Agoda (agoda.com) — hotel bookings
• Booking.com — hotel bookings
• Klook — activities and tours
• SafetyWing — travel insurance

These third-party sites have their own privacy policies. When you leave our site via these links, their policies apply. We recommend reviewing their policies before making a purchase.

5. Cookies

We use the following cookies:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to function (e.g. language preference, search settings). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — Google Analytics uses cookies to track anonymous usage statistics. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.
• Affiliate cookies — when you click an affiliate link, the partner site (Agoda, Booking.com, etc.) may set a tracking cookie on their site to attribute any booking to us. We have no control over these cookies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. Upon unsubscribing, your email is removed from our list within 30 days.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & Privacy)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or anywhere with applicable privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from email)
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@thaiweatherguide.com and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

ThaiWeatherGuide is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Security

We use HTTPS encryption on all pages and our hosting provider (Cloudflare) provides DDoS protection and secure infrastructure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and take care when sharing personal information online.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
