Welcome to One Bag Review. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We wrote it in plain language so you can quickly understand how your data is handled.
One Bag Review publishes travel gear reviews, packing lists, carry-on dimension guides, and related advice for travelers, digital nomads, and anyone learning to travel lighter. When we say “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean the operators of One Bag Review.
1. Information we collect
We only collect information that helps us run the site, respond to you, and improve our content. Depending on how you use One Bag Review, that may include:
Information you give us
- Contact form messages. If you use our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message so we can reply.
- Comments (if comments are enabled). We collect the details you submit in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam prevention.
- Email correspondence. If you email us directly, we keep the content of that conversation as needed to respond and maintain records.
Information collected automatically
- Basic technical data. Like most websites, our hosting environment may log your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and timestamps when you visit. This helps with security, troubleshooting, and understanding general traffic patterns.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies that are necessary for the site to work (for example, login or preference cookies for administrators). See the Cookies section below.
We do not require you to create an account to read reviews, packing lists, or dimension tables.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to questions, feedback, review requests, and corrections
- Operate, maintain, and secure the website
- Moderate comments and reduce spam or abuse
- Understand which guides and reviews are most useful so we can improve our content
- Comply with legal obligations when required
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Affiliate links and third-party shopping sites
One Bag Review may include links to products, retailers, or other websites. Some links may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.
If you follow a link to another site (for example, an online retailer), that site’s privacy practices apply. Those companies may collect information such as cookies, shopping activity, or account details according to their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use them for:
- Essential site functions, for example, confirming that your browser accepts cookies on login pages, or remembering admin display preferences when someone is logged into WordPress
- Comment convenience, if you leave a comment and choose to save your name and email, those details may be stored in cookies so you do not have to re-enter them next time (typically up to one year)
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect parts of the site that rely on them (especially logged-in features).
5. Analytics, fonts, and embedded content
To present and improve the site, we may use trusted third-party services, such as:
- Web fonts (for example, Google Fonts), which may receive your IP address when fonts are loaded
- Analytics tools, if enabled, to understand aggregate traffic and popular pages (these tools may use cookies or similar identifiers)
- Embedded content from other sites (videos, maps, social posts, and similar). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party site directly and may collect data according to that provider’s policy
- Gravatar, if comments are enabled, an anonymized hash of your email may be checked against Gravatar to display a profile image. See Automattic’s privacy policy
- Spam protection services that may review comment or form submissions
6. How we share information
We share personal information only when needed to operate the site or when required by law. That may include:
- Service providers such as hosting, email delivery, security, or spam filtering partners who process data on our behalf
- Legal or safety reasons, if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, protect rights, or prevent harm
We do not rent or sell your personal information to marketers.
7. How long we keep your information
- Contact messages are retained as long as needed to respond and for reasonable follow-up or recordkeeping
- Comments and related metadata are typically kept indefinitely so we can recognize follow-up comments and moderate the discussion
- Server logs are usually kept for a limited period according to our hosting provider’s practices, unless needed longer for security or legal reasons
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete personal data we hold about you, subject to legal or legitimate operational exceptions
- Object to or restrict certain processing, where applicable
To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
9. Children’s privacy
One Bag Review is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No website or email transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use discretion when sharing sensitive information online.
11. International visitors
If you visit One Bag Review from outside the country where our website is hosted, your information may be processed in the country where our servers or service providers operate. Those locations may have privacy laws different from those in your home country.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our site, tools, or legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
13. How to contact us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your privacy rights, please reach out through our Contact page. We read every message and will do our best to help.
