Who we are

The Monday Feelings is a travel website which portrays the personal experiences of Tiago Ferraro and Fernanda Kiehl focusing on responsible tourism, adventure travels and off-the-beaten path destinations, always giving preferences to human relationships with the ultimate goal of travel more and travel better. Our website address is: https://www.mondayfeelings.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

We use the Contact Form 7 plugin to manage contact form submissions. The information is sent as email messages that only Tiago and Fernanda has access to it. The information is not stored in any database, apart from the emails received.

The plugin also does not share information with other parties, although it does use some WordPress plugins on this website that may pass data, including personal information, to external servers to process, such as Akismet Anti-Spam (see below). In case you check the box to signup for our newsletter (checked by default), your information will be sent to Mailchimp (see below).

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
