Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-09
Edinburgh Private Tours ("we", "us") operates the website edinburgh-private-tours.com. We are an independent editorial affiliate site, not a tour operator. This policy explains what limited data we and our service providers collect when you visit, and the rights you have over it. Our scope is US-primary, and we apply GDPR/UK GDPR principles to all visitors.
1. Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal details to read this site. Data is collected in two ways:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider (Netlify) automatically records standard request data — IP address, browser type, referring page, pages requested and timestamps — for security, abuse-prevention and aggregate traffic analysis. These logs are retained for a limited period and are not used to identify you personally.
- Third-party booking widgets and links. When the GetYourGuide availability widget loads, or when you click a "Check Availability" link, GetYourGuide may set cookies and collect data under its own privacy policy to render availability, process your booking and attribute it to us. We never see your payment details.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
This site sets no first-party advertising or analytics cookies of its own. The embedded GetYourGuide widget and its loader script may set functional and attribution cookies. Because our audience is US-primary, we do not display a consent banner; you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, though the booking widget may not function fully without them.
3. How we use information
Aggregate, non-identifying log data helps us understand which content is useful and keep the site secure. Affiliate-attribution data tells us, in aggregate, whether bookings originated from our site so the affiliate programme can credit us. We do not sell your data, and we do not build advertising profiles.
4. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights regarding data we control, contact us using the details below. For data held by GetYourGuide through its widget, please refer to GetYourGuide's own privacy policy.
5. Contact
Questions about this policy or your data? Email us at hello@edinburgh-private-tours.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our site or legal obligations change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
