This Privacy Policy explains how Dreaming of Paris (https://dreamingofparis.com) may collect and process personal data when you use the website or contact us. For privacy questions or data-rights requests, contact dreamingofparis.com@gmail.com.
Who is responsible for the website
Dreaming of Paris is the website responsible for the processing described in this notice. This policy is intended to explain the site’s current publishing, communication and affiliate-related data practices in clear language.
Information we may collect
- Comments: if comments are enabled and you submit one, WordPress may process the information entered in the comment form together with technical information such as an IP address and browser user-agent string for moderation and spam prevention.
- Emails and correspondence: when you contact us, we receive the email address and information you choose to provide in your message.
- Technical and security information: the web server and security/performance services may process information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, date/time and diagnostic data needed to deliver and protect the website.
- Affiliate interactions: when you interact with an affiliate link or booking widget, the relevant partner may receive referral or tracking information needed to attribute the visit or booking.
Cookies
WordPress and enabled site services may use cookies that are necessary for site functions, login/security or comment preferences. Non-essential tracking or affiliate technologies, where applicable, should be handled in accordance with the visitor’s consent choices and the relevant provider’s policy.
GetYourGuide explains that its affiliate attribution system uses a Partner ID and currently relies on first-party cookies on its service for attribution. You can review its current partner explanation here. Booking.com and other third-party destinations have their own privacy and cookie policies when you visit their websites.
Spam protection and site services
The site currently uses WordPress services and plugins that include Akismet and Jetpack. Depending on which features are active, technical or interaction data may be processed by Automattic services for functions such as spam protection, security, performance or site features. Automattic publishes its privacy information at automattic.com/privacy.
Embedded and third-party content
Some pages may display third-party widgets, maps, videos, booking tools or other embedded content. Interacting with embedded content may allow the third party to receive technical information or set its own cookies, subject to that provider’s privacy policy and your consent choices where required.
Why data may be processed
Depending on the activity, processing may be necessary to respond to a message or request, protect and operate the website, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, or — for optional technologies where consent is required — rely on your consent. Consent can be withdrawn for future processing where that is the applicable legal basis.
Who may receive data
Personal data may be processed by service providers needed to host, secure, maintain or operate the website, and by third-party services you choose to interact with. Data may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights. We do not use this policy to imply that every listed service receives every visitor’s personal data.
How long information is kept
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security and record-keeping requirements. Correspondence may be retained while a request is being handled and for a reasonable period afterward. Comment data, if comments are used, may be retained to preserve discussion and moderation history unless removal is appropriate.
Your data-protection rights
Where the GDPR applies, individuals may have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, as well as the right to withdraw consent when processing is based on consent. The European Commission provides an overview of these rights here.
To exercise a privacy right in relation to Dreaming of Paris, email dreamingofparis.com@gmail.com. We may need enough information to understand the request and, where necessary, verify identity. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority.
International processing
Some service providers or affiliate partners may process information in countries outside your own. Where data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, responsibility for the relevant safeguards depends on the processing arrangement and provider involved.
Security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to reduce risks such as unauthorized access, misuse or loss. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the site changes its tools, providers or data practices, or when legal requirements change. The date below indicates the latest revision.
