Policy

Privacy policy

Draft, not legal advice. This page is a starting template. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer before launch, taking into account China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and, for EU/UK visitors, the GDPR.

What we collect

Ask a local form: your name, email, city, optional travel dates and your message, used only to reply.
Newsletter: your email, used only to send the newsletter. Unsubscribe anytime.
Analytics: when enabled, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookie-less, aggregate traffic view with no advertising profile. It is off until a token is configured after launch. We do not use Google Analytics or ad trackers at launch.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising cookies. A necessary preference (your language hint, and your optional colour theme) may be stored in your browser’s localStorage — on your device, not as a tracking cookie. If Cloudflare Web Analytics is on, it is designed to work without tracking cookies. See the cookie notice.

Who we share it with

No one, except the form or email provider that processes a submission for us (to be named on this page once connected). We don’t sell personal data. If you ask us to introduce a local partner, we share your details with them only after you agree.

How long we keep it

We intend to keep inquiry, newsletter and story emails for up to 12 months after last contact, unless a longer period is required to handle a request or a legal obligation. This retention period is a draft and may change after legal review.
