Privacy Policy

At Ndolo Travels, we believe in transparency, respect, and trust. Just as we care for the people we travel with and the communities we visit, we care about your experience on our website. Every visit, every comment, every click is part of our story — and we want you to feel safe and respected while exploring our world.

Comments & Sharing Your Thoughts

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the form, along with your IP address and browser details. This helps us keep the community safe and free from spam.

If you use a Gravatar profile, an anonymized hash of your email may be shared with Gravatar to display your profile picture. You can learn more about their privacy practices here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture appears alongside your words, making your presence part of the Ndolo story.

Media & Images

If you upload images to our site, please be mindful of embedded location data (EXIF GPS). While we love seeing photos, we want to protect your privacy, since visitors could extract this information. Every image tells a story — and we want it to be about the moment, not the coordinates.

Cookies & Convenience

Cookies help us make your experience smoother. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website so you don’t have to type them again next time. These cookies last a year — a small gesture to keep your journey with us easy and enjoyable.

When you log in, we may set temporary cookies to check that your browser is ready, or to save your preferences like display options. Login cookies last for two days, and display settings for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login stays for two weeks. Any cookies related to editing or publishing content contain no personal data — just the ID of the post you’ve worked on.

Embedded Content

Some stories on our site may include videos, images, or articles from other websites. When you interact with these, it’s as if you visited the other site directly — they may collect data, set cookies, or monitor interactions. We include them to enhance your journey and bring Cameroon’s stories to life, but we want you to be aware of how they work.

Who Sees Your Data

If you request a password reset, your IP address is included for security. Otherwise, your data is handled carefully, with respect for your privacy.

Data Retention & Your Rights

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely so we can recognize follow-ups and keep the conversation flowing naturally. For registered users, your profile information is safely stored, and you can view, edit, or delete it anytime — except for your username, which stays to preserve your identity in our community.

If you want a copy of your personal data or wish to erase it, you can request it at any time. This doesn’t include data we must retain for legal or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

Comments may be screened by automated spam detection services — another layer that helps keep our space safe and welcoming for everyone. At Ndolo Travels, we treat your information with the same care we treat our travelers and the communities we visit. Just as every trip has a story, every interaction here is part of a journey — one built on trust, respect, and a shared love for discovery.
