Privacy & reader care

Publisher and privacy contact

Adam Quigley is an independent online travel journal. The legal operator and person responsible for this website and its handling of personal information is ZEPACTLE JIMENEZ BERNARDA, acting as an individual publisher in Mexico.

For editorial questions, privacy requests or general correspondence, email info@adamquigley.com. For sponsored content and advertising inquiries, email partners@adamquigley.com.

Email subscriptions and consent

The voluntary reader-list form requests your email address so we can maintain a list of people interested in occasional editorial travel emails. Upon a successful submission, we record the email, subscription date and a short record of the consent text. We use this information to administer the reader list and handle subscription preferences. We do not sell subscriber addresses or supply our subscription list to sponsors or advertisers.

Submitting the form is an affirmative request to join the reader list. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to info@adamquigley.com from the address concerned. Our list records are not used to make automated decisions about you. The website is an editorial publication and does not sell or book tours, transport or accommodation.

Cookies, security and website records

Pages containing the reader-list form use an essential session cookie called aq_reader. It supports request validation and helps protect the signup process. This cookie is not intended for ad personalization and normally expires when the browser session ends, subject to browser settings.

To deter repeated or automated submissions, the signup handler temporarily tracks attempts using a cryptographic hash derived from the connecting IP address. It does not include the original IP address in the subscription ledger. Abuse-control records are limited to a short interval and are cleared through routine processing. Standard hosting infrastructure may also process connection and security logs in order to deliver the site.

Advertising, Google technologies and your choices

Advertising and sponsored content are part of the journal’s business model. Google Ads and Google tag technologies may be used for advertising measurement, including understanding visits associated with ads and evaluating conversions. When enabled, such services can process browser or device information, cookie identifiers and interaction data in accordance with the applicable settings and privacy choices. The reader-list form does not send subscription email addresses to Google Ads.

Non-essential advertising or measurement storage is subject to the consent choices required in the visitor’s jurisdiction. Where consent is required, these technologies must respect the applicable choice before optional tracking occurs. You can also manage Google advertising preferences in My Ad Center and read Google’s advertising privacy information. Browser settings can be used to delete or block cookies, although blocking essential cookies can prevent form submission.

Storage, recipients and retention

Subscriber information is recorded in a server-side ledger that is not intended for public web access. It is kept for the period of an active reader-list subscription, unless a shorter period is required or the list is discontinued. When you withdraw consent or request deletion, we review and remove the relevant subscriber record, subject to any legally necessary retention. Security records are used for abuse prevention rather than marketing.

Service providers involved in website hosting may handle limited technical information needed to deliver or secure the site. If external email-distribution or advertising services are used, their processing is limited to the relevant service purpose and applicable privacy terms; personal information may be processed outside your country. Subscriber email addresses are not provided to commercial sponsors as an advertising contact list.

Your privacy rights

You can request access to, correction of, deletion of or opposition to the processing of your personal information (known in Mexico as ARCO rights), as well as withdraw consent or ask about the use of your email address. Write to info@adamquigley.com with the subject “Privacy request” and describe the email address and change you are asking for. We may request proportionate verification to protect your information before acting, and respond within periods required by applicable law.

If European data-protection rules apply to your use of the site, additional rights may include restricting processing, receiving a portable copy where applicable and raising a concern with a competent supervisory authority. You can read the site without joining the reader list.

Editorial independence and paid content

Articles on this site are general editorial travel ideas, not booking offers or claims of personally inspecting accommodation. AI-generated images are editorial illustrations rather than photographs verifying a named property. Paid articles are identified as sponsored, hosted experiences are disclosed in the story, and advertisements are labeled as such. Learn more about advertising and editorial partnerships.

Reader terms and travel information

The journal offers general inspiration and trip-planning information for personal reading. It does not sell tickets, take travel bookings or guarantee particular prices, schedules, availability, accessibility or travel conditions. Confirm critical details with the relevant operators and public authorities before making arrangements.

Original writing, layout and editorial illustrations are provided for personal informational use; please request permission before substantial republication. Links to third-party websites are provided for reader convenience and do not imply endorsement or control of those websites. Nothing here limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

Notice updates and contact

Updates to this notice are published on this page with a revised date. Material changes to the way optional personal information is used will be communicated in a manner appropriate to the change and applicable law. For questions about this notice, contact info@adamquigley.com.
