We do not collect personal information about individuals, such as names or email addresses, unless it is knowingly provided by you and you have agreed to the terms under which we will use it.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use the website. By using the website, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
Who We Are

Information We Collect
When you access the website, we may learn certain information about you during your visit. We collect personal information from you in a number of ways, including:
- Newsletter or contact form sign-up: your name and email address, and any other details you choose to provide.
- Comments: if you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and any website URL you provide, along with the content of your comment.
- Automatically collected information: when you visit the website, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically log information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is generally used in aggregated form and is not linked to your identity.
We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for the operation of the website. We do not collect sensitive information (such as health, racial, religious, or political information) and we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16 without parental consent.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you provide to:
- Send you our email newsletter or other updates you have asked to receive.
- Respond to questions, comments, or messages you send us.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website.
- Understand how visitors use the website so we can make our content more useful.
- Comply with our legal obligations.
We will only use your information for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a closely related purpose that you would reasonably expect. We will not use or disclose your information for any other purpose without your consent, unless required or permitted by law.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, golookoutside.com uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors interact with our content. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website.
We may use:
- Essential cookies, which are required for the website to function correctly.
- Analytics cookies (such as those set by Google Analytics or similar tools), which help us understand how visitors use the site.
- Third-party cookies set by embedded content, such as Instagram feeds or YouTube videos.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Where required by the laws that apply to you, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner the first time you visit the site, which lets you choose which categories of cookies to accept.
Disclosure of Information
We will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate the website, such as our website host, email newsletter provider, analytics provider, and comment moderation tools. These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf.
Some of these providers may store or process your information in countries other than the one you live in. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled in a way consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may also disclose your personal information where we are required or authorised to do so by law, for example in response to a court order or a request from a government authority.
Email Newsletters
If you sign up for our newsletter, you are giving us your express consent to send you emails about the website, travel content, and related updates. Every commercial email we send will clearly identify Go Look Outside as the sender and will include a working unsubscribe link. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us directly.
Affiliate Disclosure
Go Look Outside may have financial relationships with some of the companies mentioned on this website. This means that, when you click on certain links and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate relationships do not influence the opinions expressed in our content, and we only recommend products, services, and providers that we believe will genuinely help young travellers.
Where a page or post contains affiliate links, we will let you know with a clear disclosure at the top of the page or near the link itself.
Links to Other Websites
Our website contains links to other websites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every website you visit that collects personal information. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by golookoutside.com.
Children’s Privacy
Go Look Outside is written for young travellers, and we know that some of our readers may be teenagers. Protecting the privacy of younger readers is important to us. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16 without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 16 without proper consent, please contact us and we will delete that information promptly.
