Privacy Policy

Destination Fun Orlando (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website destinationfunorlando.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this Site, you agree to the terms below.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us via our Contact page.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact form submissions: name, email address, and any message content you submit
  • Comments: if you leave a comment on a post, we collect the content of your comment, your name/email if provided, your IP address, and browser user agent string (used for spam detection)
  • Newsletter signups (if applicable): your email address

Information Collected Automatically

  • Analytics data: We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, time on site, referral source, approximate location (city/region level), and device/browser type. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.
  • Cookies: See Section 3 below.
  • Log data: Our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and access times.

Information From Third Parties

  • If you interact with embedded content (such as Instagram posts embedded in our articles), the third-party platform (Instagram/Meta) may collect data about that interaction according to its own privacy policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Respond to contact form inquiries
  • Understand how visitors use our content (via analytics) so we can improve it
  • Detect and prevent spam or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This Site uses cookies for:

  • Essential functionality — e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice
  • Analytics — Google Analytics uses cookies to track site usage in aggregate
  • Comments — if you leave a comment, you may opt in to a cookie that remembers your name/email for future comments (expires after 1 year)
  • Advertising — third-party ad networks or affiliate partners (see Section 5) may set cookies to track referrals or ad performance

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

4. Affiliate Links and Advertising

This Site contains affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or booking, at no additional cost to you. We are a participant in affiliate programs including the CJ Affiliate network and other travel/attraction affiliate partnerships.

For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

This Site may also display third-party advertisements. Ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance. We do not control the data practices of third-party ad networks; please refer to their respective privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our articles may link to or embed content from third-party websites (e.g., attraction websites, Instagram posts, YouTube videos). These third parties operate independently of us and have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party site before providing personal information there. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

6. Data Retention

  • Comments: retained indefinitely to allow automatic recognition of follow-up comments, unless you request deletion
  • Contact form submissions: retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, and generally deleted within 12 months
  • Analytics data: retained according to Google Analytics’ default retention settings (currently up to 26 months), and is aggregated/anonymized

7. Your Privacy Rights

If You Are in the European Economic Area (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us via our Contact page.

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no industry-standard way to interpret them consistently.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
