Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 14, 2025
At VisitPanama.xyz, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it. We've written this in plain language so you can actually understand it.
What Information We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Here's what we gather:
- Analytics data: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is a privacy-first analytics tool. It does not use cookies and does not track you across websites. It collects general information like which pages are visited, what countries visitors come from, and what devices they use. None of this data identifies you personally.
- Consent preferences: If you interact with our cookie consent banner, we store your preference locally on your device so we don't keep asking you.
- Contact information: If you email us or use a contact form, we'll have whatever information you choose to share with us.
What We Don't Collect
By default, we do not:
- Set tracking cookies
- Build profiles about you
- Sell or share your data with advertisers
- Track you across other websites
- Collect sensitive personal information
How We Use Your Information
The limited data we collect is used to:
- Understand which content is helpful so we can create more of it
- Keep the website running smoothly and fix technical issues
- Respond to your questions or feedback if you contact us
- Improve the overall experience of the website
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of third-party services that may process some data:
- Cloudflare: Provides our hosting, security, and analytics. Cloudflare processes some technical data (like IP addresses) to deliver the website to you and protect against attacks. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to display text on the site. When you visit a page, your browser connects to Google's servers to load the fonts. See Google's privacy policy.
- Google AdSense (future): We may display ads through Google AdSense in the future. If we do, this policy will be updated, and you'll be able to manage ad personalization through your cookie preferences.
Your Rights
No matter where you live, we believe you should have control over your data. You have the right to:
- Access: Ask us what information we have about you
- Deletion: Ask us to delete any personal information we hold
- Portability: Request a copy of your data in a standard format
- Correction: Ask us to fix inaccurate information
- Objection: Object to how we process your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.
Legal Compliance
We aim to comply with privacy laws that apply to our visitors, including:
- GDPR (European Union): If you're in the EU, you have all the rights listed above. Our legal basis for processing data is legitimate interest (running and improving the website).
- Panama Law 81 of 2019: As a Panama-based website, we comply with Panama's data protection law, which establishes principles for the fair and transparent handling of personal data.
- CCPA (California): If you're a California resident, you can request to know what data we have and ask us to delete it. We do not sell personal information.
Data Security
Your connection to VisitPanama.xyz is encrypted using HTTPS. We use Cloudflare's security features to protect against attacks and unauthorized access. While no system is 100% secure, we take reasonable steps to protect whatever data passes through our site.
Children's Privacy
VisitPanama.xyz is a general travel information site. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe we have, please contact us and we'll remove it promptly.
