This GDPR Policy is an addendum to our main Privacy Policy. It applies specifically to Data Subjects located within the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

For the purpose of the GDPR, Travel Firoz Blogger is the “Data Controller” for the personal information you provide to our website.

We only collect and process your Personal Data when we have a legal basis to do so. Under the GDPR, these legal bases include:

  • Consent: You have given us clear and explicit consent to process your Personal Data for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter, accepting cookies).
  • Legitimate Interest: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g., responding to your inquiries via our contact form, analyzing website traffic to improve our content, preventing fraud).
  • Legal Obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (e.g., in response to a legal request or court order).

7. Data Retention

We will not retain your Personal Data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. For example:

  • Data from contact form inquiries is deleted after the inquiry is resolved.
  • Newsletter subscription data is kept as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Comment data is retained as long as the article is live, to maintain the conversation.

8. International Data Transfers

travel.firozblogger.com is operated from Bangladesh. Our web servers, analytics partners (e.g., Google Analytics), and advertising partners (e.g., Google AdX) may be located outside of the EEA, primarily in the United States.

When we transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as:

  • Using services that are part of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
  • Implementing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your data to these third parties, subject to these safeguards.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16 (or the age of consent in your specific EU member state) without parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
