- Basic website usage information, such as pages visited
- Device and browser information
- Cookie and analytics data, where used
- Information linked to affiliate, advertising, or third-party referral tools, where used

If this website later includes email sign-ups, enquiry forms, event listings, business submissions, paid placements, or booking-related tools, this Privacy Policy should be reviewed and updated before those features are launched.
How we use information
We may use information for the following purposes:
- To respond to messages or enquiries
- To improve the website and its content
- To understand which pages are useful to visitors
- To maintain website security
- To check website performance
- To manage future email sign-ups, submissions, listings, sponsorships, or business enquiries

Cookies and analytics
This website may use cookies or similar technologies.
Cookies are small files placed on your device. They can help a website work properly, remember basic settings, measure website performance, understand how visitors use the site, or support advertising and affiliate tracking.
We may use:
- Essential cookies needed for the website to function
- Analytics cookies to understand website traffic and page performance
- Security cookies to help protect the website
- Affiliate tracking cookies, where affiliate links are used
- Advertising cookies, where display advertising or sponsored tools are used
If non-essential cookies, analytics tools, advertising tools, or affiliate tracking tools are used, visitors should be given clear information and a choice before those cookies are set.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Affiliate links, adverts and third-party websites
Study in Phuket may link to third-party websites, including accommodation providers, flight search tools, travel services, activity providers, local businesses, event websites, booking platforms, and affiliate partners.
Some links may be affiliate links. This means Study in Phuket may earn a commission if you click a link and make a booking, purchase, or enquiry through a third-party website. This does not normally cost you extra.
Study in Phuket is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, prices, booking terms, availability, or policies of third-party websites.
When you click a third-party link, you should read that website's own privacy policy and terms before submitting any personal information or making a booking.
Direct business enquiries
Study in Phuket may feature local businesses, services, events, or activity providers.
Where possible, enquiries should go directly to the relevant third-party business by email, website link, booking platform, or external contact method.
Study in Phuket does not aim to act as the middleman for user communication, bookings, payments, or service delivery.
How long we keep information
We only keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed.
For example:
- Contact messages may be kept long enough to respond and manage follow-up
- Basic website analytics may be kept for website performance and content review
- Business or sponsorship enquiries may be kept for administrative and record-keeping purposes
- Security records may be kept where needed to protect the website
Where information is no longer needed, it should be deleted or anonymised where practical.

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights over your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Ask for incorrect information to be corrected
- Ask for information to be deleted in certain circumstances

- Withdraw consent, where consent is the lawful basis being used
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how your personal information is handled.
