Hey There

Commitment to Your Privacy
Genius Tripz is solely owned and operated by Nikolaos Chionis, and we are committed to protecting your privacy when you visit our website. You can access and browse Genius Tripz without disclosing any personal information. We don’t collect personal data—like names, email addresses, or mailing addresses—unless you voluntarily provide it and agree to how it will be used. If you don’t fill out any forms, we won’t collect or store your personal information. We prioritize a “data minimization” approach and only collect data that’s essential.

We comply with applicable data protection regulations to the fullest extent possible, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.

​

Disclosure of Information
Genius Tripz will never sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. We don’t automatically log personally identifiable data, nor do we link automatically logged data to specific individuals. However, we do collect certain non-personal data about your device and how you interact with the site. For example, we may log your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit.

We use this data to analyze traffic patterns, improve our website, and share aggregate statistics with trusted third parties like Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Console, and Mailchimp. These statistics are purely for analytical purposes and do not include identifiable information. If you don’t want your data used in this way, email us at genioustripz@gmail.com.

We may disclose account information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Genius Tripz, our users, or others.

​

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. Genius Tripz does not knowingly collect or store information from individuals under the age of 18, and no part of our site is designed to attract anyone under 18. If you’re under 18, please refrain from using our services.

​

Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties without providing advance notice. However, we may share your data with trusted partners who help us operate the website, run our business, or provide services to you—as long as they agree to keep your information confidential.

We may also release your information when it’s necessary to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves or others.

​

Third-Party Links
Occasionally, we may include links to third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies, so we are not responsible for their content or activities. However, we always welcome feedback to ensure the integrity of our site.
