This Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure applies to all visitors accessing the Site internationally, including from the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other jurisdictions outside of Mexico. It complies with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (CCPA/CPRA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Cross-reference — Spanish notice: the Site also publishes Aviso de Privacidad Integral, the complementary notice that governs the personal data of visitors located in Mexico under the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (LFPDPPP) and the guidelines of Mexico’s INAI. If you visit the Site from Mexico — or read the Spanish edition — that notice also applies to you, and you may exercise your ARCO rights (know what data we hold about you, rectify it, cancel it, or oppose its processing) by writing to [email protected]; we issue a formal response within 20 business days. Full text: Aviso de Privacidad Integral.

The affiliate relationships, tracking cookies and third-party technologies described below apply to the Site as a whole, in both languages.

1. Categories of Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when voluntarily provided by you or automatically collected via standard web technologies:

Your personal data is processed strictly for legitimate editorial and technical operations:

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, nor do we share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

3. Affiliate Partnerships Disclosure (Amazon Associates, Stay22 & Others)

In full compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials (16 CFR Part 255):

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies (Affiliates & Third Parties)

When you click on outbound affiliate links or interact with embedded tools (such as Amazon product links or Stay22 interactive maps and widgets), third-party providers place temporary tracking cookies or scripts on your browser. These cookies track session referrals, record approximate location data to display relevant hotel rates, and attribute qualifying bookings or purchases.

You maintain full control over cookies and can disable, block, or clear them at any time via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).

Our own analytics: we also use Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) to measure, in aggregate, how many people read each article, the country they read from, and which outbound links they use. Its cookies identify a browser, not a person, and Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. You can block these cookies without affecting your ability to read the Site.

Advertising: ads served by Google AdSense place first- and third-party cookies to measure and personalize advertising. You can manage these cookies and turn off personalization at https://adssettings.google.com.

5. International Data Transfers

By using the Site, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to and maintained on cloud servers located in Mexico, the United States, and Canada (where Stay22 is based), operated by reputable technology providers (including Google LLC for aggregate traffic analytics) adhering to enterprise-level data protection standards.

6. Children’s Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Living Golden Hour is a general-audience digital publication covering family travel and lifestyle from an adult perspective. We do not direct our services to children under 13, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that personal data from a child under 13 has been submitted to the Site, we will purge it immediately.

7. Regional Privacy Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
