Privacy Policy

Last updated: 05/09/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NVT Villas Whitefield (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles the information of visitors and users on our website, http://nvtvillawhitefield.com (the “Site”).

By accessing and using this Site, you’re giving your consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this policy.

1. Who We Are

Our website can be found at: http://nvtvillawhitefield.com

If you have any inquiries about this policy, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

2. Information We Collect

We gather information in several ways:

a) Information You Provide Directly

This includes your name, email address, phone number, and any details you enter through contact forms, booking inquiries, or WhatsApp/click-to-call links. We also take note of comments you leave on the site, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, which we use for spam detection.

b) Information We Collect Automatically

Whenever you check out our Site, we gather some information automatically, such as:

- Your IP address
- The type and version of your browser
- The kind of device you’re using and its operating system
- The pages you visit, how long you stay on them, and where you came from or where you go next
- The date and time of your visit

c) Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We utilize cookies and other tracking technologies, like web beacons and pixels, to keep the Site running smoothly and to gather the information mentioned earlier. For more details, check out Section 5 (Cookies) below.

3. Google Ads and Google Analytics

We rely on Google Analytics and Google Ads (including remarketing and retargeting) to get a better grasp of how visitors interact with our Site and to promote our services on various other websites.

1. Google Analytics gathers data like how often users check out our Site, which pages they explore, and what other sites they visited before landing here. We use this information solely to enhance our Site. The way Google can use and share the data collected through Google Analytics is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
2. Google Ads Remarketing: We might employ remarketing tags to run online ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, can display our ads on different sites across the web based on your previous visits to our Site. This process uses cookies to show ads tailored to your past browsing behavior.
3. Opting Out: If you prefer not to be tracked, you can opt out of Google Analytics and personalized Google Ads by:

- - Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
  - Visiting Google Ads Settings to manage your personalized advertising preferences
  - Going to www.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies

Additionally, we may utilize Google Tag Manager to oversee the tags and scripts mentioned above; while Tag Manager itself doesn’t collect personal data, it does trigger other tags that might.

4. Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

We may send an anonymized string derived from your email address (called a “hash”) to Gravatar to check if you have an account there. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.

5. Cookies

On our Site, we use a variety of cookies to enhance your experience:

1. Comment cookies – These remember your name, email, and website if you choose to leave a comment. They stick around for a year.
2. Login cookies (if applicable) – These keep your login details handy. They last for 2 days, or 2 weeks if you check the “Remember Me” option.
3. Screen options cookies – These save your display preferences, lasting for a year.
4. Google Analytics cookies – These help us track how you use the site and understand visitor behavior. They usually last up to 2 years.
5. Google Ads / Remarketing cookies – These show you relevant ads on other sites based on your previous visits. They typically last anywhere from 90 to 540 days.

You can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Just keep in mind that turning off cookies might affect how the Site works.

6. Media

When uploading images to the Site, it’s best to avoid including any embedded location data (like EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download your images and extract that location data.

7. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Some pages on our site might showcase embedded content, such as videos, maps, images, or social media posts. When you click on this content, it acts just like you’re visiting the other website directly.

These external sites may collect information about you, use cookies, and add their own tracking tools. They can also monitor how you interact with the embedded content, particularly if you’re logged into an account on that site.

8. Who We Share Your Data With

Rest assured, we don’t sell your personal data. However, we might share your information with:

- Google (for Analytics and Ads services), as mentioned earlier
- Service providers that assist us in running the Site (like hosting providers and form/booking plugins)
- Legal authorities, if we need to meet a legal requirement, protect our rights, or ensure safety

If you ever request a password reset (assuming account features are enabled), your IP address will be included in the reset email.

9. How Long We Keep Your Data

- Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely, so we can easily recognize and approve any follow-up comments.
- We keep contact form and booking inquiry submissions for as long as we need to respond to your request and for our business records, usually no longer than [e.g., 24 months], unless the law requires us to keep them for a longer time.
- For registered users, we retain profile data until you ask us to delete it or the account is removed.
- Analytics data is kept according to Google’s default retention settings (or as set in our Analytics account).

10. Your Rights Over Your Data

Depending on where you live, you might have several important rights, such as:

- The right to ask for a copy of the personal data we have about you.
- The right to request changes to or deletion of your personal data.
- The right to object to or limit certain types of processing (like opting out of analytics or advertising cookies).
- The right to withdraw your consent at any time if we’re processing your data based on that consent.

Please note that this doesn’t cover data we’re legally required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

To exercise any of these rights, feel free to contact us.

If you’re in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the GDPR. And if you’re a California resident, you might have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (just so you know, we don’t sell your personal information).

11. Where Your Data Is Sent

Comments from visitors may be screened by an automated spam detection service. Also, data collected through Google Analytics and Ads might be processed on servers that are situated outside your country, including in the United States, following Google’s standard contractual safeguards.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16, as local laws may require), and we do not intentionally collect personal information from minors.

13. Updates to This Policy

From time to time, we might make updates to this Privacy Policy. Whenever we do, we’ll make sure to post the changes right here, along with a new “Last updated” date.
