At Welcome to the Sahara (accessible at welcometothesahara.org), operated by [OWNER NAME], one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by the website and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
When you submit an inquiry through our contact form, we collect the personal details you voluntarily provide: your name, email address, message subject, and message content. This information is used strictly to respond to your communication.
If you voluntarily enter your email address into our newsletter subscription field, your email is recorded solely for distributing publication updates once newsletter dispatches commence.
2. Log Files & Standard Web Analytics
Like most standard websites, Welcome to the Sahara follows a standard procedure of using server log files. These files log visitors when they access websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of this information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
Welcome to the Sahara uses 'cookies' solely for functional website requirements (such as session management for contact form CSRF tokens and remembering interactive packing checklist states via browser storage).
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Welcome to the Sahara's Privacy Policy does not apply to external advertisers or other websites. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of any third-party servers for more detailed information.
