The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, Trimm Travels may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows Trimm Travels to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties. Trimm Travels uses Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for all its email correspondence which includes Newsletters. You can see the Kit Privacy Policy here.

Therefore, proceed with caution, and only provide information to outside websites once you have read and understood their privacy policy and terms and conditions.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this Website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Secure Your Data

We do our best to keep your Personal Data safe.  We use safe protocols for communication and transferring data (such as HTTPS). We use anonymizing and pseudonymizing where suitable.

SSL Certificate: A service provided and installed through our web host, SiteGround. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website you are connected to. The “S” at the end of HTTPS stands for “Secure” meaning all communication between your browser and the website is encrypted.

We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks in the following ways:

SG Site Scanner: A service provided through our web host, SiteGround, scans Trimm Travels daily for malware and other possible vulnerabilities and attacks.

Wordfence: We use this security plugin for real-time monitoring and scanning of Trimm Travels. Wordfence is an endpoint firewall and integrated malware scanner. The service also defends against brute force attacks by limiting login attempts, enforcing strong passwords, and providing two-factor identity authentication when logging in to the Trimm Travels website. Additionally, our administrators are notified each time any admin logs in from a new device or location. You can view Wordfence’s Privacy Policy here and read more about the cookies it uses here.

Akismet: This anti-spam plugin is used on the Trimm Travels website to protect against spam.

Two-Factor Identity Authentication: Trimm Travels uses this security feature where offered. Good examples of this are our email service MailChimp, security plugin Wordfence, WordPress platform, and our web host, SiteGround.

Even though we try our best, we can not guarantee the security of information. However, we promise to notify suitable authorities of data breaches. We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and to assist authorities should any breaches occur.

If you have an account with us, note that you have to keep your username and password secret. (Note: Account creation on this Website will only be an option for purchases made on this Website.)
