Black Travel Now (“BTN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates blacktravelnow.com and its related podcast and social media accounts. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site or interact with us, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you give us directly — such as your name, email address, and phone number when you subscribe to our newsletter or SMS list, fill out our Contact form, or inquire about advertising or group travel.

Information collected automatically — like your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs, collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies (including Google Analytics and comparable tools) when you browse the site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to: operate and improve the site; send the newsletter, SMS updates, and content you’ve opted into; respond to inquiries about advertising, partnerships, or group travel; understand how visitors use the site so we can make it better; and detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies for basic site functionality, analytics, and advertising/affiliate tracking. This includes:

Analytics cookies that help us understand which articles, destinations, and features readers find most useful.

Affiliate tracking cookies placed by our affiliate partners and networks — including CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) and Expedia’s affiliate program — when you click a booking, hotel, flight, car rental, or travel insurance link on this site. These cookies let the partner know a purchase came from Black Travel Now, which is how we may earn a commission (see our Affiliate Disclosure for details). We do not receive your payment information through these cookies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.

Third-Party Links & Affiliate Partners

Our site contains links to third-party websites — hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines, car rental companies, travel insurance providers, and booking platforms we’ve partnered with as affiliates. We don’t control these third-party sites and aren’t responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit after leaving blacktravelnow.com.

SMS & Email Communications

If you opt in to our SMS list, your mobile number is used only to send the travel updates, trip inspiration, and offers described in our Terms of Service. You can opt out at any time by replying “STOP.” If you subscribe to our email newsletter, every email includes an unsubscribe link. We do not sell your phone number or email address to third parties.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers who help us run the site and our marketing (for example, our email/SMS platform and analytics providers), each bound to use it only to provide services to us, or when required by law.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You can unsubscribe from our email newsletter at any time using the link in any email, opt out of SMS by replying “STOP,” and control cookies through your browser. To ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, email us at info@blacktravelnow.com.

Children’s Privacy

Black Travel Now is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We’ll update the “Last updated” date above when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
