Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 3 June 2026

Welcome to NordExplore! We believe in keeping things straightforward and transparent. We are a travel blog and affiliate site, meaning we help you find great tours in the Nordics, but all bookings and payments happen securely over on Viator.

Here is the plain-English breakdown of what data we collect and how we use it.

1. The Data We Collect

We only collect what we absolutely need to make the site function:

• Stuff you give us: If you create an account, sign up for a newsletter, or send us a message, we keep your name and email address so we can reply or log you in.
• Site activity (with your consent): If you click "Accept all" on our cookie banner, we use analytics tools (Vercel Analytics, Ahrefs, and Drive) to understand which pages are popular and how the site is used. If you decline, these tools are not loaded.
• Cookies & Local Storage: We use a timezone cookie for site function, local storage for your wishlist and currency preference, and store your cookie choice (accept or decline) so we do not ask again on every visit.

2. How Bookings Work (Viator)

When you click "book" on a tour, we send you to Viator via an affiliate link.

• We never see or store your credit card or payment info.
• Once you are on Viator, their privacy policy applies to your booking data.
• Full disclosure: We earn a small commission when you book through our links, but it never costs you anything extra.

3. Who We Share Data With

We never sell your personal data to anyone. We only share basic data with the secure tech services that keep this website running behind the scenes:

• Our hosting and database providers (where the site lives).
• Our email provider (if you sign up for updates).
• Viator (just the basic referral data so they know we sent you).

4. Your Rights

It is your data, and you have control over it. If you want to see what information we have about you, fix a typo in your email, or ask us to completely delete your account and data, just ask.

5. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or want to delete your data, reach out anytime:
