Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 Aug, 2026
Da Nang Chill Ride ("we", "us", "our") operates the website danangchillride.com. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit the site or contact us, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
1. Who we are
Da Nang Chill Ride is an independent travel information website about Da Nang, Vietnam — where to go, what to eat, what to do and where to stay.
We are a publisher, not a travel agency. We do not sell, operate, arrange or take bookings for tours, transport, accommodation or any other travel service. When you decide to book something we have written about, you do so directly with the provider or booking platform concerned, under their own terms and their own privacy policy.
The site is funded by display advertising and by affiliate commissions (see sections 5 and 6).
For any question about this policy, contact us at [NEEDS-REAL-DATA: email chính thức].
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you give us
- Contact form and direct messages: your name, email address, and the content of your message, if you choose to write to us.
- Comments, if you leave any on our articles. [NEEDS-REAL-DATA: xoá mục này nếu bạn đã tắt comment]
We do not operate booking forms and we do not ask for passport details, ID numbers, payment card details or health data. Please do not send them to us.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- IP address, approximate location (city or country level), browser and device type, operating system and screen size.
- Pages you view, the page that referred you, time spent on the site and the links you click.
- Data stored in cookies and similar technologies (see sections 4, 5 and 6).
3. How we use your information
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
- To understand which articles are useful, using aggregated traffic statistics.
- To display advertising and to measure how that advertising performs.
- To attribute affiliate referrals so that our partners can credit us for bookings made through our links.
- To keep the site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and comply with applicable law.
We do not send marketing emails and we do not maintain a mailing list. [NEEDS-REAL-DATA: sửa nếu sau này bạn làm newsletter]
4. Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies for four purposes:
- Necessary cookies — needed for the site to work and to protect forms against spam.
- Analytics cookies — used by services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to produce aggregated statistics on how visitors use the site.
- Advertising cookies — see section 5.
- Affiliate tracking cookies — see section 6.
You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting; because there is still no common standard for it, we do not respond to those signals differently.
5. Advertising
This site displays advertising served by Google and other advertising partners.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at
https://www.google.com/settings/ads. - You may opt out of personalised advertising from many other third-party vendors at
https://www.aboutads.info/choicesor, for European visitors, athttps://www.youronlinechoices.eu. - More information on how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent banner will ask for your choices before non-essential cookies are set, and you can change those choices at any time using the link in the site footer. [NEEDS-REAL-DATA: chỉ giữ đoạn này SAU KHI đã cài CMP thật; nếu chưa cài thì xoá]
We do not control which specific advertisers appear on the site, and we do not receive your personal information from them.
6. Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may receive a commission from the provider at no additional cost to you. This does not change the price you pay.
Affiliate partners set a cookie on your device so that a booking can be attributed to us. That cookie typically records the date and time of your click, the page you clicked from, and an identifier for our account — not your name or contact details.
Our recommendations are not paid placements. A commission arrangement does not determine whether a place appears on this site or how we describe it. Where a specific article is sponsored or contains gifted content, we state this clearly at the top of that article.
7. Sharing your information
We share personal information only in these situations:
- Technical service providers. Hosting, CDN, email, form and analytics providers that process data on our behalf.
- Advertising and affiliate partners. These partners receive cookie and device data as described in sections 5 and 6. They do not receive the content of messages you send us.
- Legal reasons. Where we are required to do so by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not sell the personal information you give us directly — your name, email address and the content of your messages are never passed to advertisers or data brokers.
8. Third-party websites
Our articles link to hotels, restaurants, booking platforms, maps and other external sites, including affiliate links. Once you follow such a link, you are on a website we do not control, governed by its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content or the data practices of those sites.
9. Data retention
We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle your message and for a reasonable period afterwards, then delete it. Analytics and advertising data is kept according to the retention settings of the provider concerned.
10. Security
The site is served over HTTPS and we apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security of data sent to us.
11. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- confirm what personal information about you we hold and get a copy of it;
- correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- delete your information, where we have no continuing reason to keep it;
- restrict or object to certain uses of your information;
- withdraw a consent you have given, without affecting processing done before.
12. Children
This website is intended for adults planning travel. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
13. International transfers
We are based in Da Nang, Vietnam. Our hosting, analytics, advertising and affiliate providers may store or process data on servers located in other countries. By using the site or contacting us, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version is posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.

eVisa assistance enquiries and optional images
Our support form collects contact name, email, passport nationality, intended dates, traveller count, entry and arrival preferences, optional WhatsApp and airport pickup interest, and contact consent. It can also collect one passport data-page image and one portrait, with separate consent, for private document review and assistance follow-up. Images are optional when requesting a quote. Information appearing in the passport image is part of that document; do not type identifiers into contact fields.
Contact details are stored in the restricted WordPress form inbox. Images are encrypted outside the public web folder, not placed in the Media Library, and served through an authenticated administrator-only download. They are not emailed or automatically sent to the immigration authority or another service provider. This form does not submit an official visa application, approve a visa or arrange payment. The website and its hosting infrastructure process and store these data; encryption does not make them anonymous.
Active images expire 30 days after upload, with automatic removal at the next hourly cleanup. They are also removed if the enquiry is moved to trash. Contact details remain for follow-up until administratively removed. Hosting infrastructure backups, if any, may have a separate retention cycle; the active-image deletion schedule does not claim to purge independent hosting backups. To request correction or deletion or withdraw permission, contact us. A later government submission requires a separate confirmed process.
Only JPEG images smaller than 2 MB are accepted. Images are decoded and re-encoded to remove embedded metadata. Temporary hashed network identifiers limit repeated attempts. Do not upload someone else’s documents without their permission.
