Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Who we are

Wings of Wind LLC, of 1001 N Arney Rd, Woodburn, OR 97071, United States, publishes articles and guides at wings-of-wind.com. We run an email newsletter and a contact form. We do not sell products, we do not take bookings or reservations, we do not process payments, and we do not offer user accounts. This policy explains what personal information we do collect and how we use it.

What we collect

• Email addresses submitted to subscribe to our newsletter.
• Name, email address and any message content submitted through our contact form.
• Standard server log data, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps, generated automatically when you visit the site.
• Basic aggregated analytics data, such as which pages are popular and how visitors generally found the site, collected through analytics tools.

What we do not collect

• No payment card details or billing information, because we do not sell anything or process payments.
• No account passwords or login credentials, because the site has no user accounts.
• No booking, travel document or passport information.

Why we collect it

We use email addresses to send the newsletter you signed up for. We use contact form submissions to read and reply to your message. We use server logs and analytics to keep the site secure, diagnose technical problems and understand which articles are useful so we can plan future content.

Legal bases for processing

Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent when you subscribe to the newsletter or submit the contact form, and on our legitimate interest in running a secure, functioning website when it comes to server logs and basic analytics. You can withdraw consent for the newsletter at any time by unsubscribing.

Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to run the site, understand basic usage patterns and attribute referrals through advertising links. Full details, including how to control them, are set out in our Cookie Policy.

Third parties we work with

We use third party service providers in general categories to help operate the site: website hosting and infrastructure, email delivery for the newsletter, and analytics services. These providers process data on our behalf and only to the extent needed to provide their service. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.

International transfers

Because our service providers may operate infrastructure in different countries, personal information may be processed outside the country where you are located, including in the United States. Where this happens, we expect our providers to apply appropriate safeguards consistent with their own terms and applicable law.

How long we keep information

• Newsletter email addresses are kept for as long as you remain subscribed, and deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period after you unsubscribe.
• Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for our records, then deleted.
• Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes before being purged or aggregated.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, ask us to delete it, object to certain processing, or ask us to restrict it. To exercise any of these rights, please get in touch through our contact page or by phone at +1 503-828-4019. We will respond as promptly as we reasonably can.

Children's privacy

Our site is intended for a general adult audience interested in travel content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we hold, including restricting access to it and using reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. If you have questions about this policy, please reach us through the contact page.

Advertising banners and affiliate links

This site displays paid advertising banners via Travelpayouts. Clicking a banner opens the travel partner's website through a tracking link, and the partner may set a referral cookie. We may earn a commission from a resulting booking at no extra cost to you. We never share visitors' email addresses or personal data with advertising partners.

Any booking is a contract with the partner, not Wings of Wind LLC. The partner's terms and privacy policy apply, and all refund or cancellation requests must be made to the partner.
