Privacy, explained clearly.

Effective 13 October 2026. This policy applies to chinatravelselect.com.

Information you choose to provide

A cloud travel space stores an account identifier, passkey public credential, active sessions and itineraries you save. If you add account recovery, we also store your verified email address. We never receive the Face ID, fingerprint or device PIN used to unlock your passkey. Community posts, replies and reports are stored with your account. An enquiry stores the name, email address, trip details and consent choices you submit.

Information stored on your device

The planner, readiness checklist and survival tools can store choices in your browser. A necessary session cookie keeps a signed-in travel space working. It is not an advertising cookie. Clearing browser data removes device-only information and may sign you out.

Measurement and security

We keep daily aggregate counts for page views, booking-provider clicks, enquiry progress, account creation and saved itineraries. These totals contain a page path and, for booking clicks, the provider name. They do not contain an advertising identifier, full referrer history or cross-site profile.

For security, the service may process an IP address, user agent and request details. Security logs store a short keyed fingerprint instead of the IP address itself. Cloudflare supplies hosting, D1 storage, traffic protection and Turnstile abuse prevention.

Why we use the information

• Provide accounts, saved itineraries and community features.
• Reply to enquiries and, only when separately requested, send relevant offers.
• Moderate discussions, prevent abuse and investigate service failures.
• Understand which pages and booking providers are useful in aggregate.

Service providers and international processing

Cloudflare processes site traffic and stores application data. Better Auth software operates the passkey session system within our Cloudflare service. If email delivery is activated, Resend will process the name and email needed to send the owner notification and acknowledgement. Hotel images and outbound booking or video links may connect your browser to the named third party when loaded or opened.

Retention and your choices

Saved trips remain until removed. Community material and moderation records remain while needed to operate the discussion safely. Enquiries remain while being handled and for reasonable business and dispute records. Aggregate counters do not identify an individual. Security events are retained only while useful for protecting the service.

You may request access, correction or deletion of personal information. Until a dedicated privacy mailbox is activated, use the enquiry form, put “Privacy request” in the notes and provide only the details needed to locate your information. We may need to verify that the request concerns your account or email address.

Children and changes

The service is intended for people able to plan or purchase travel and is not directed to children. We will update the effective date when this policy materially changes.
