We encourage you to carefully read and understand the following information.

2. Personal Information

To deliver our daily emails, we require your email address. For enhanced services, we might also request your name, geographical location, and telephone number. ExploreInAsia solely collects personally identifiable information that you explicitly provide. We may utilize technologies like cookies, log files, web beacons, pixel tags, IP addresses, device identification, analytics, and social media widgets to gather insights about your interactions. We want to assure you that your personal information, including your email address, will never be sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We might share your personal information to ensure the delivery of our emails to you or as mandated by applicable law.

The personal data we collect about you may be transferred to and stored by us in countries located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It's important to note that countries outside the EEA might not provide the same level of data protection as those within it. When we transfer data outside the EEA, we will:

A. Include the standard contractual data protection clauses approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data outside the EEA in our agreements with relevant third parties, or

B. Ensure that the country handling your personal data has been deemed "adequate" by the European Commission under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We take your privacy seriously and implement measures to protect your data as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Your trust is of paramount importance to us as we strive to provide you with a secure and valuable experience on our platform.

3. Non-Personal Information

Additionally, we may request non-personally identifiable information, such as annual income, purchasing preferences, or age—referred to as demographic and profile data. It's important to note that providing this information is optional. We might utilize this data to enhance your experience on our website and daily email. This could involve tailoring content and delivering email updates that align with your interests. Rest assured, any information shared in this manner is done so in an aggregate and anonymous form. This means that the information will be presented without including any personally identifiable details about you or any other individual. We may also share this aggregated data with parties like advertisers who are interested in promoting their offerings through our emails or on our website.

4. Usage Information

ExploreInAsia, in addition to gathering personal and non-personal data, may also accumulate non-personal, aggregated details regarding subscribers' interactions with our daily email and website. It's important to note that this information cannot be used to personally identify individuals and is solely intended to understand how subscribers engage with our services. For instance, this data allows us to ascertain the frequency of users opening the daily email, the duration spent on our website, the sources from which subscribers arrive, and the destinations they navigate to. Gathering such insights enables us to effectively manage traffic demands and optimize the delivery of emails.

5. Review & Access

Upon your request, we are prepared to furnish you with a concise overview of the information we have collected about you. You will have the opportunity to rectify, update, or modify this information.
