This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Some of our advertising partners and/or affiliate programs may use cookies and web beacons on our site.

An example of embedded content on Travel Bliss Now includes (but is not limited to) our YouTube videos.

We do our best to keep your Personal Data safe. We use safe protocols for communication and transferring data (such as HTTPS). We use anonymizing and pseudonymizing where suitable.

SSL Certificate: A service provided and installed through our web host, SiteGround. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website you are connected to. The “S” at the end of HTTPS stands for “Secure” meaning all communication between your browser and the website are encrypted.

We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks in the following ways:

Akismet: This anti-spam plugin is used on the Travel Bliss Now website to protect against spam.

We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and to assist authorities should any breaches occur.
