Privacy Policy
This page explains what Budapest Drinks Cruise collects, how we use it, and what happens when you click a booking link. We are an independent guide, not the operator, and we do not take your booking or payment ourselves.
Last updated · October 2026
Budapest Drinks Cruise is an independent travel guide and affiliate site. We collect very little personal data, and we only use it for running the site, replying to you, and understanding basic traffic.
What we collect
We do not ask you to create an account. We do not take card details, passenger names, or booking contents. The main personal data we may receive is what you send us directly.
- Email messages: if you contact us at info@budapestdrinkscruise.com, we receive your email address and anything you write.
- Basic analytics: we may use standard website analytics and similar tools to see page visits, clicks, device type, and rough location by country or region.
- Cookies and similar storage: our site and any analytics or affiliate tools may store small files on your device.
How we use your information
We use email messages to reply to your question, fix page errors, or handle site feedback. We use analytics data to see which pages are useful and where the site needs work. We do not use this data to profile you personally.
Affiliate links and booking partners
Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. If you click a booking link, a tracking code may be sent to GetYourGuide so they can see that you came from our site. If you choose to book, your data is then handled by GetYourGuide and the relevant operator under their own privacy policy and terms.
- We do not receive your card details.
- We do not receive your passenger list or booking notes.
- We do not control the booking page, payment flow, or post-booking support.
Cookies, analytics, and your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also clear site data on your phone or computer. If you disable cookies, some parts of the site and some tracking links may not work as expected.
If we use analytics, we aim to keep it basic. The goal is to count visits and improve the site, not to track you across the web.
How long we keep data
We keep email enquiries only as long as needed to answer them and keep a record of site issues. In practice, that is usually no longer than needed for the task, unless we need to keep a message longer for follow-up, legal reasons, or spam control.
Analytics data is kept according to the settings of the tool we use. We do not keep booking data because we never receive it.
Your rights
If you are in the UK or EU, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal data. You may also have the right to ask for portability in some cases. These rights depend on local law and the reason we hold the data.
If you contact us about a booking, we may need to send you back to the booking provider, because they control the purchase record and related service data.
Third-party websites
When you leave Budapest Drinks Cruise, our privacy policy stops applying. The booking platform and any cruise operator you book with have their own privacy terms, cookie rules, and support channels. Read those terms before you complete a purchase.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page when our tools, links, or data practices change. The date above shows the latest update we published here.
This page is for transparency and does not replace the booking provider’s own terms, which govern any purchase.
Getting in touch
If you have a privacy question, want us to correct a site detail, or want to ask about data we may hold about you, email info@budapestdrinkscruise.com. We review website questions, not booking changes or refunds.
