At GoChinaMap, accessible from https://gochinamap.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by GoChinaMap and how we use it.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://gochinamap.com. We provide independent informational guides and survival tools for traveling and living in China.
2. Information We Collect and Why
Contact Forms & Messages
When you contact us via our Contact Form, we collect the data you provide (such as your name and email address) so we can respond to your inquiries. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless explicitly requested by you.
Cookies
If you interact with our site, temporary cookies may be used to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic to improve our content. These cookies do not store personal, identifiable data and are automatically discarded when they expire or when you close your browser.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, or widgets). 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, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that specific website.
3. Data Retention
If you send us a message via the contact form, the message and its metadata are retained until the inquiry is resolved or as needed for administrative purposes. We do not open user registration or public comments on this site, meaning no public user profiles are stored.
4. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor inquiries and messages may be checked through an automated spam detection service to keep our site secure. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third-party corporations.
5. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have submitted inquiries through our site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
