Privacy Notice
The Travel Guys Radio Show has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to our listeners' and visitors' privacy. The following discloses the type of personally-identifying data collected, as well as the general purpose and/or use of the information gathered, via www.travelguysradio.com. We continually look to improve our features and services. As a result, this statement is updated from time to time. This privacy policy was updated August 10, 2026.
Your privacy is important to us and we want to make sure you like hearing from us. We may contact you to follow up on messages we receive through the Travel Guys Web Site, but we do not release personally-identifying listener information to other companies for their own marketing purposes.
This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website. It will notify you of the following:
- What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
- What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
- The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
- How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
In this notice 'The Travel Guys', 'we' and 'our' means the producers of The Travel Guys Radio Show, who operate this website.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We may use the information we collect from you when you contact us, sign up to receive the weekly podcast by email, respond to a survey, browse the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:
- To improve our website in order to better serve you.
- To respond to your questions, comments and story suggestions.
- To send the weekly podcast and occasional show news to listeners who have asked for it.
- To follow up with you after correspondence (email or phone inquiries).
We use a small number of trusted service providers to run this website and our email, and they may handle your information only to provide that service: Mailchimp delivers our email newsletter, and our website host stores the information you submit. We do not permit them to use your information for their own purposes.
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us via our contact form, email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than the service providers who help us run the website and send our email — for example the company that delivers our email newsletter — and only to the extent needed to provide that service.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about the show, new episodes, or changes to this privacy policy. Every email we send includes a link to unsubscribe, and you may opt out at any time. We do not sell your personal information, and we never have.
Personal information will never be shared with any third party by The Travel Guys other than for the purposes described in this document.
We may disclose your information if:
- we believe we are required to do so by law;
- we need to do so to protect someone's safety or our rights and property; or
- in order to comply with this policy or other policies that may be applicable.
Listening to the Show
Episodes of The Travel Guys are also distributed through third-party podcast services, such as Apple Podcasts. When you listen through one of those services, your use of it is governed by that company's own privacy policy, not this one. We receive only general audience statistics from those services, not information that identifies you personally.
Children Under Age 13
The Travel Guys does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register on the Travel Guys Web Site. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on the Travel Guys Web Site. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe that we have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us using the contact information listed herein.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web Browser (if you allow). Cookies enable the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
We use cookies to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. Most major websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors are interacting with our site. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of this website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Although these advertising features are available to us, we do not currently use them to advertise to you and we do not run remarketing campaigns. You may view information about Google Analytics' privacy policy by following the link provided here (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245).
There are a few methods to opt out of Google Analytics tracking. One way is by installing an Add-On tool onto a compatible Web Browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). Another is by disabling cookies in your Web Browser.
You can also choose to have your computer alert you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You can do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
Our forms are protected from automated abuse by Google reCAPTCHA. Its use is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Our sharing buttons are provided by AddToAny; using them to share a page with a social network is governed by that network's own privacy policy.
Again, we would like to express that all information gathered on our website is used for the purposes outlined above (under the "Information Collection, Use, and Sharing" heading). It is helpful for our analytics when you leave cookies enabled. However, if you wish to turn off cookies and/or opt out of Google Analytics tracking, it won't affect your experience using our site.
Your Access to and Control Over Information

Security
We keep the information you send us — your messages and email sign-ups — for as long as we need it, unless you ask us to delete it. Our website also keeps technical logs that record your IP address and browser details when an error occurs, so that we can diagnose and fix problems.
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect information, it is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only the people who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information, and the computers and servers on which we store it are kept in a secure environment.
Other Sites
Occasionally, at our discretion, the Travel Guys website may contain links to other sites, including travel resources mentioned on the show. Other sites may also reference or link to the Travel Guys website. The Travel Guys is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other sites. Any information you may disclose at these other sites is not governed by this privacy policy. We encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
