What we store, and why

Your email address, if you set a watch. It is used solely for the watches you asked for. New watches use your verified account email and start only when you save the watch. Creating an account does not subscribe you. Deal emails require a separate explicit opt-in. Older email subscriptions still use their signed confirmation and management links.

A name and email, if you create an account. Accounts are optional and handled by Clerk, our sign-in provider; you can use Google sign-in or an email address. Your account can also hold preferences and link to your bookings.

Almost everything else in our database is price history — what a hotel room cost on a given night. That data is about hotels, not about you.

If you book a stay

A name, an email address and, if you give one, a phone number. They exist to make the reservation and to send you its confirmation, and they go to the two parties who need them: Nuitée Connect, the merchant of record, and the hotel. Your card details never reach us — the card form is served by the merchant’s payment provider inside our page. We keep the booking record; to see or remove the details on it, use the section below.

The email address you give at the checkout is used for that booking. It is not added to any mailing list: our deal emails go only to addresses that asked for them and confirmed through a verified account email and an explicit preference, or a legacy confirmation link.

What we don’t do

We don’t sell your data. We don’t share it with advertisers, and there are no advertising or cross-site trackers on this site. We don’t enrol you in anything you didn’t explicitly ask for — a watch on Lisbon gets you Lisbon, not a newsletter.

Deal emails and watch controls

Deal and watch emails carry signed links to pause, change, and unsubscribe, without logging in. Unsubscribing stops that watch and any general feed attached to it immediately. Separate watches have their own controls. Booking confirmations, cancellation updates and reminders concern your reservation and have no mailing-list unsubscribe link.

We use Resend to deliver email. Where email tracking is enabled, we record its message ID and the first reported open and link click, to understand delivery and usefulness. Our engagement records do not store clicked destinations, IP addresses or browser details. Automated mail systems can produce these events, so they do not prove a person read or clicked a message.

Where it lives

The website and database run on Google Cloud in the us-central1 region (Iowa, United States). A Postgres database stores the watches and the price observations. Sign-in data is held by Clerk on our behalf, and page-view data by Google Analytics.

Cookies and analytics

If you sign in, Clerk sets cookies to keep you signed in — that is what they are for and all they are for.

We use Google Analytics to count which pages get read. It is set up to measure pages rather than people: advertising and personalisation signals are switched off everywhere, on every visit, so nothing we collect is used to target you and nothing follows you to another site.

In the UK, the EU and Switzerland it stores nothing on your device. Analytics there runs without cookies — we get a page count and no way to recognise you on a later visit. That is also why you have not been asked to dismiss a cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to. Everywhere else, Google Analytics sets its own cookie to tell a returning reader from a new one.

Launch links

Some links carry a fixed campaign label, such as a community or newsletter name. During your visit we keep that label on public links and record it with a new watch or checkout, so we can count confirmed sign-ups and bookings by placement. These labels identify a placement, never an individual. We set no extra cookie and use no browser storage for them; later visits and other devices are not joined. Google Analytics receives only labels from our fixed list, with personal details, private link tokens and other query values removed.

Seeing or deleting your data

Email hello@traveldeals.com from the address in question to see what we hold or request deletion. Unsubscribe stops email; it does not delete your records. We retain watch and send records to honor that choice, limit repeated sends and investigate delivery failures. Booking records are separate: we will explain which details can be removed and which records need to be kept for the reservation and its payment.

Questions

hello@traveldeals.com. If this page and our behaviour ever disagree, tell us — we treat that as a bug.
