Additionally, the website may use third-party service providers to service various aspects of the website. Each third-party service provider’s use of your personal information is dictated by their respective privacy policies and terms of services.

The website currently uses the following third-party service providers:

This type of anonymous data may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Examples of this anonymous data may include analytics or information collected from cookies.

Publicly visible information

If you create a user profile on the website or leave a comment, certain information may be publicly visible. To create a user profile, you must choose a username and password and input your email address for profile confirmation. Your email address will never be available publicly. At your option, you may also add an avatar, a profile description, and a link to your website, where applicable.

You may also choose to link your Facebook, Instagram, and Google Account, when available. Users may see your username, avatar, profile description and website information.

Cookies

The website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.

Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by using a corresponding setting of your internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser settings or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. However, if users deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

Advertising

  • Display Ads: I may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the website, which may use cookies, as noted above.

  • Retargeting Ads: From time to time, the website may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the website.

  • Affiliate Program Participation: The Website may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. For example, if “medevacvii media” is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and links to Amazon.com. As part of this Amazon Associates program, the website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales.

  • Newsletters: On the website, you may subscribe to my newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, I may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Rest assured, it will only be tracking emails sent by me and will not be tracking any of your email in your inbox or subfolders. This allows the website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user and this behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

Rights related to your personal information

ADVERTISERS & SPONSORS DISCLOSURE

This blog is also open to forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, and other forms of compensation and/or projects. However, even though this blog is open to advertising, I will never recommend and write about products or brands that I personally do not use nor believe in. I will always disclose whether I will be receiving any commissions or products for free, if a trip was sponsored or not, or any similar sponsorship.

I am definitely not responsible for the actions of my advertisers or sponsors. If you purchase a product or service based upon a link from my website, you must take action with that company to resolve any issues and not with me. Any product, claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

What is more is that some of the links on the website are affiliate or referral links. At no additional cost to you, I will earn a small percentage of the sale if you make a purchase through my affiliate link or I will earn a bonus from your registration through my referral link. The cost for you will sometimes even be cheaper due to my partnership with a certain brand — so it’s a “win-win” situation. Rest assured, I only support things that I trust and have personally used. Ultimately, I hope you understand that this is a way for me to keep this website running in tiptop shape; so your purchases or registration through any of my affiliate links is much appreciated!
