Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how BrownMetro handles information in connection with the BrownMetro website at brownmetro.com. BrownMetro is primarily a travel-information and referral website. We may link you to third-party companies for flights, hotels, tours, activities, transfers, car rentals, eSIMs and other travel services.

When you leave BrownMetro and use a third-party provider, that provider's own privacy policy and terms apply to the information you provide to it.

2. Information we may receive

Depending on how the site is operated and which features are enabled, BrownMetro may receive limited technical or usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from technical information, and date and time of access. Our hosting provider may also process technical information needed to deliver and secure the website.

If you contact BrownMetro directly, we may receive the information you choose to include in your message, such as your name, email address and the contents of your inquiry.

BrownMetro does not need your payment-card details to provide the informational content on this website. Travel bookings and payments are handled by the relevant third-party provider.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

BrownMetro or service providers supporting the site may use cookies, local storage, pixels or similar technologies for essential website operation, security, measurement, preferences or affiliate attribution.

Third-party travel providers may also place or read cookies when you follow an affiliate or referral link and visit their website. Their use of those technologies is governed by their own policies.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website functions or referral attribution.

4. Affiliate links and third-party services

Some links on BrownMetro are affiliate or referral links. If you click one and later make a qualifying purchase or booking, BrownMetro may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies or other attribution technologies to record referrals.

BrownMetro does not control the privacy practices, security, pricing, availability or terms of third-party travel providers. Review the provider's policies before submitting personal information or completing a booking.

5. How information may be used

Information available to BrownMetro may be used to operate, maintain, secure and improve the website; understand aggregate site usage; respond to inquiries; detect abuse or technical problems; measure referral activity; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. We may use service providers that process information on our behalf for hosting, security, analytics, communications or website operations.

6. Data retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate the site, resolve issues, maintain records, or meet legal obligations. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which can include requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability, or objecting to certain processing. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Requests are subject to applicable law and reasonable verification requirements. You can also control many cookie preferences through your browser or device settings.

8. Children's privacy

BrownMetro is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age at which parental consent is required by applicable law. We do not knowingly request personal information from children for independent use of the site.

9. International visitors

BrownMetro and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you are located. Where required, applicable safeguards for international transfers will be used.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the site, services or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date above indicates when this version was published. Continued use of the website after an update means you can review the revised policy as it applies to your use of the site.

11. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, use the contact method made available by BrownMetro on the website. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

Note: This policy is written for the current BrownMetro travel-site model and should be reviewed against the actual hosting, analytics, cookie, newsletter and affiliate tools enabled in production, as well as the laws applicable to the business and its visitors.
