Privacy Policy

Hey friends! Mark & Avi here! We want you all to know that We WILL NEVER sell your information to a third party. Not even if they ask really, really, nicely. Or if they say pretty, pretty, please with a cherry on the top of a chocolate chip mint ice cream. Well, for Mark it would be Gideon’s cookies & cream cookies. He’s a cookie monster and Avi’s the sundae type of girl. Either way, we wouldn’t dare sell any of your info to a third party, even if we were offered our most favorite things.

Seriously though… We won’t sell your info to a third party! Check out our Full Policy for the deets.

Full Policy

Happily Ever Traveler (“Company,” “we,” or “us”) highly respects your privacy and is fully committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of happilyevertraveler.com, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through happilyevertraveler.com (the “digital storybook”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before you begin to use happilyevertraveler.com. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the Privacy Policy. Through the use of happilyevertraveler.com you are herein consenting to the following data procedures expressed within this agreement.

In a fairytale world, we would have endless amounts of time (and vacations) and we would be able to sustain this digital storybook without needing any outside revenue. However, as with any digital media property, our support from sponsors, affiliates, & advertisers helps us to run & grow this digital storybook every day! It’s important to us to be completely transparent with you all about the advertising and affiliate programs that take place on Happilyevertraveler.com. We never want you to feel like we’re trying to shove propaganda down your throat and that we’re not being authentically true! We are extremely selective about our advertisers and those brands we choose to partner with, and would never recommend a brand, a hotel, a destination, a product or a service in our digital storybook or social media, or anywhere that we don’t 100% think would add value to your travels and make you happier while vacationing.

These are our advertising, affiliate & privacy policies:

Affiliate Programs

We work with various affiliate programs to drive revenue from our digital storybook. When you click on a hotel link from our website (or one of our sidebar ads) and you buy or book something from one of the sites we link on HappilyEverTraveler.com, this means that at no cost to you at all, we receive a very small amount of money. The hotels and products we recommend would be the exact same whether or not we had these links, but they are a way to get a small amount of income from the recommendations we provide.

We truly appreciate the support of anyone who clicks through to our links before booking their hotels or buying the products we love!
