Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-08-16

Yoya Fun respects the privacy of its readers and aims to collect and process only the information reasonably necessary to operate, improve, secure, and support the publication.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit yoyafun.net, use one of its language editions, subscribe to a newsletter, contact us, or interact with services used on the site.

It applies to Yoya Fun and its language editions.

Who we are

Yoya Fun is an independent multilingual travel magazine.

For privacy questions or requests relating to information collected directly through Yoya Fun, please use our Contact page.

You can learn more about the publication on our About Yoya Fun page.

Information processed when you visit Yoya Fun

You can read most of Yoya Fun without creating an account or giving us your name.

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure and service providers may process technical information needed to deliver, secure, and maintain the site. Depending on the service and your settings, this may include:

• IP address;
• browser and device information;
• pages requested or viewed;
• date, time, and technical information associated with a request;
• security and diagnostic data;
• cookie and consent choices where applicable.

Some processing is necessary for the site to load, remain secure, and function reliably.

Other processing, particularly analytics or advertising-related processing, may depend on your location and the choices you make through our consent system.

Information you choose to provide

Contacting Yoya Fun

If you contact us through our contact form, we may process information you choose to provide, including:

• your name;
• email address;
• reason for contacting us;
• article or page URL;
• your message;
• any other information you voluntarily include.

We use this information to review and respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, investigate a correction, sourcing question, privacy request, rights request, commercial enquiry, or other editorial matter.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your request.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to a Yoya Fun newsletter, we may process:

• the email address you provide;
• subscription status;
• consent associated with the subscription;
• technical information needed to send, manage, secure, or unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We use this information to deliver the newsletter and manage your subscription.

We do not sell newsletter addresses or provide them to unrelated third parties for their own marketing.

Newsletter delivery is handled through Hostinger Reach, an email delivery service operated by our hosting provider, Hostinger. When you subscribe, the information described above is processed by Hostinger to deliver the newsletter, manage subscription confirmation, and handle unsubscribe requests, under its own privacy terms. If we change the delivery provider in the future, we will update this policy.

You may unsubscribe using the unsubscribe method provided with the newsletter or by contacting us.

Cookies and similar technologies

Yoya Fun uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes that may include:

• essential site functionality;
• security;
• remembering privacy and consent choices;
• audience measurement and analytics;
• advertising and advertising measurement.

Where required, non-essential technologies are controlled through a consent management platform.

You can accept, reject, or manage available choices through the privacy or cookie controls shown on the site.

For more information, see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

Yoya Fun currently uses Google Analytics 4, implemented through Google Site Kit, to help us understand how readers use the publication. Google tags on the site may be loaded and managed through Google Tag Manager.

Analytics may help us understand matters such as:

• which pages receive readership;
• how readers move through the site;
• which content formats are useful;
• aggregate site performance and audience patterns.

We use analytics to improve the publication rather than to identify individual readers ourselves.

Google may process information through Analytics according to its own terms, settings, and privacy practices.

Where consent is required for analytics storage or related processing, the relevant choices are managed through the site’s consent system.

Advertising

Yoya Fun currently displays third-party advertising through Google AdSense.

Google and participating advertising technology providers may process information for purposes such as:

• delivering advertisements;
• preventing invalid traffic or fraud;
• measuring advertising performance;
• limiting repetition;
• personalizing advertising where permitted and consented to.

The advertisements displayed on Yoya Fun do not necessarily reflect the views, recommendations, or editorial conclusions of Yoya Fun.

Your available advertising and privacy choices may vary according to your location and consent settings.

For information about our commercial model and editorial independence, see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.

Affiliate links

Some Yoya Fun pages may contain affiliate links.

If you follow an affiliate link, the destination website or affiliate network may process information about that referral and may use its own cookies or tracking technologies according to its own policies.

Once you leave Yoya Fun, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.

Yoya Fun may receive a commission from qualifying bookings or purchases, but we do not normally receive the full payment details you provide directly to a hotel, booking platform, retailer, or other merchant.

Consent management

Yoya Fun uses a Google-supported consent management system for applicable privacy and advertising choices.

Depending on your region, it may allow you to:

• consent to certain processing;
• decline optional processing;
• manage privacy or advertising choices;
• review available purposes or vendors;
• change or withdraw an earlier choice.

Changing your consent affects future processing to the extent supported by the relevant technology and applicable law.

Service providers

Yoya Fun relies on technical service providers to operate the publication.

Depending on the service involved, these providers may process limited information on our behalf or under their own privacy responsibilities.

They may support functions such as:

• website hosting and delivery;
• security and technical operation;
• analytics;
• advertising;
• consent management;
• email or newsletter delivery;
• performance and reliability.

We expect service providers handling information on our behalf to use it only for legitimate service purposes and subject to appropriate contractual, technical, or legal safeguards.

International processing

Yoya Fun serves an international audience and uses service providers that may operate infrastructure in more than one country.

As a result, information may be processed outside the country in which you live.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, those transfers should be handled using the mechanisms available to the relevant provider and jurisdiction.

How long we keep information

We do not aim to retain personal information indefinitely.

Retention depends on why the information was collected and the practical or legal need for keeping it.

For example:

• newsletter information may be retained while you remain subscribed and for a limited period afterward where necessary to record your request;
• contact correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain appropriate records, investigate a correction, or handle a continuing issue;
• analytics, advertising, and consent information may be retained according to relevant settings, consent choices, browser behavior, and provider policies.

Information may be kept longer where reasonably necessary to comply with law, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or protect legal rights.

Your privacy choices and rights

Privacy rights vary by location.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including rights to:

• ask what information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion in appropriate circumstances;
• withdraw consent;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• request a copy or transfer of certain information;
• complain to an appropriate privacy or data protection authority.

Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

To make a request, use our Contact page and select Privacy / Data Request where that option is available, or email privacy@yoyafun.net directly.

We may need enough information to verify the request before acting on it.

Children

Yoya Fun publishes family-travel content, but the website is not designed as a service for collecting personal information directly from children.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us in a way that should not have occurred, please contact us so that we can review the situation.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the publication and the information we process.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access or other incidents will never occur.

External websites

Yoya Fun links to hotels, attractions, museums, government authorities, transportation providers, booking platforms, retailers, and other external websites.

Those websites operate under their own privacy practices.

A link from Yoya Fun does not make us responsible for how an external website collects or uses information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, legal obligations, providers, or privacy practices change.

When we make a material update, we will publish the revised version on this page and update the effective date.
