Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

Real Family Travel ("we", "us") runs realfamilytravel.com. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.

What we collect

  • Usage data — anonymous, aggregated statistics (pages viewed, device type, country) so we can improve our guides.
  • Newsletter email — only if you subscribe. We use it to send the newsletter and nothing else. You can unsubscribe from any email.
  • Tool inputs — our free calculators (packing list, budget, room finder, difficulty rater) run in your browser. We do not store the values you enter.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies to make the site work and privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic. Where required, advertising or analytics partners may set cookies; you can manage these through your browser settings or any consent banner shown to you.

Advertising and affiliate links

Some pages contain affiliate links and may display ads. Affiliate partners and ad networks may use cookies to measure clicks and conversions. We only earn a commission if you book or buy through a link, at no extra cost to you. See our editorial policy for how this affects our recommendations (it does not).

Third-party services

We rely on a small set of providers to operate: a content delivery network and host for serving pages, an email provider for the newsletter, and analytics. Each processes data only as needed to provide their service.

Children's privacy

Our content is written for parents planning family trips. The site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to object to its processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us and we will respond within the time the law requires.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. We will revise the "last updated" date above when we do.
