1. Introduction

Welcome to Here We Go China (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

Here We Go China is a travel information website that helps international visitors plan trips to China. We publish travel guides, practical tips, destination information, and advice about topics such as visas, internet access, mobile connectivity, payments, transportation, accommodation, local culture, and travel planning.

We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit our website.

This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices and the choices available to you. It applies to information collected through our website and related communications that link to this policy.

Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review it. Where applicable law requires consent for particular data-processing activities, we will seek that consent separately rather than relying solely on your use of the website.

2. Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with our website and which features and third-party services are enabled.

  • Your email address.
  • The contents of messages or enquiries you send us.
  • Your communication preferences.
  • Any other information you choose to provide.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry. We do not need your passport number, payment card details, or other sensitive travel documents to provide general travel information.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, security services, analytics tools, or other technologies.

Depending on the services in use, this information may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address.

  • General geographic region inferred from technical information.
  • Pages visited and links clicked.
  • Date, time, and duration of visits.
  • Referring website or traffic source.
  • Technical diagnostic and security information.

We may use this information to operate the website, understand how visitors use our content, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and improve website performance.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website or its third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Keep the website functioning properly.
  • Remember preferences.
  • Understand website traffic and content performance.
  • Measure advertising effectiveness.
  • Support advertising or affiliate-link tracking, where applicable.
  • Protect the website against spam, fraud, or security threats.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where provided, our cookie preference controls. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website features.

Where required by law, we will request consent before placing or using non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

The cookies used by the website may change as we add, remove, or update services. We will update this policy and any applicable cookie disclosures when necessary.

3. How We Use Information

Depending on how you interact with Here We Go China, we may use information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure our website.
  • Respond to questions and feedback.
  • Send newsletters or updates if you have subscribed.
  • Understand which travel guides and topics are useful to readers.
  • Improve website content, usability, and performance.
  • Detect spam, fraud, misuse, and security incidents.
  • Measure the performance of advertising or affiliate links, where applicable.
  • Meet legal obligations and protect our rights.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes described in this policy unless permitted by law or with any consent required by applicable law.

4. Analytics and Website Performance

We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our content.

If enabled, these services may collect technical information, usage statistics, approximate location information, and details about pages viewed or interactions with the website.

Analytics providers may process information on servers located in different countries, depending on their service arrangements.

We will identify specific analytics providers in this policy or an associated cookie notice when appropriate. Their own privacy policies explain how they handle information.

Website owner note: Before publishing, name the actual analytics service you use, such as Google Analytics, if applicable. Remove this section or revise it if you do not use analytics.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Advertising Services

Here We Go China may display advertisements or work with third-party advertising providers now or in the future.

If advertising services are enabled, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, limit repeated ads, measure advertising performance, or personalize ads where permitted.

Depending on the provider and your location, these services may involve the processing of identifiers, device information, browsing activity, or approximate location.

Third-party advertising practices are governed by the relevant providers' privacy policies and available privacy controls.

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notices and obtain consent or offer opt-out mechanisms before enabling relevant advertising technologies.

Website owner note: Do not claim to use a particular advertising network until it is actually installed. Add the provider's name and relevant opt-out information when you begin using one.

Some articles on Here We Go China may contain links to third-party products or services, including travel eSIMs, insurance providers, booking platforms, transportation services, accommodation providers, tours, or other travel-related products.

Where we participate in an affiliate programme, we may receive a commission if you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action. This does not necessarily increase the price you pay.

Affiliate links may use tracking technologies to attribute a purchase or referral to our website. These technologies may be operated by the affiliate network or merchant rather than by us.

Clicking a link takes you to an external website, where different privacy policies and terms may apply.

We aim to make relevant commercial relationships clear to readers. An affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a product or service is suitable for your circumstances.

Website owner note: Keep this section if you use, or plan to use, affiliate links. Disclose actual affiliate relationships on relevant pages as well; a privacy policy alone may not be sufficient.

7. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our articles may link to external websites, including official government websites, visa and immigration resources, transport operators, hotels, booking platforms, payment services, telecom providers, and other travel-related resources.

We provide these links for convenience and informational purposes. We do not control the privacy practices, security, content, or availability of external websites.

When you leave Here We Go China, the third party's privacy policy and terms will generally govern your interactions with that service.

We recommend reviewing the relevant privacy policy before providing personal information, making payments, booking travel, or creating an account on an external website.

8. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances, where appropriate and permitted by law:

  • Service providers: To website hosting providers, security services, analytics providers, email services, and other vendors that help operate our website.
  • Advertising and affiliate partners: Where relevant services are enabled and information is processed through their technologies or links.
  • Legal and security purposes: When disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, investigate misuse, or protect users and the public.
  • Business changes: In connection with a proposed or completed merger, restructuring, acquisition, or transfer of website assets, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
  • With your direction or consent: When you ask us to share information or otherwise provide consent where required.

We aim to limit disclosures to what is appropriate for the relevant purpose.

9. International Data Transfers

Here We Go China serves an international audience. Depending on our hosting arrangements and the third-party services we use, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you live.

Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address international transfers of personal information and provide any required disclosures or safeguards.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to legal, security, operational, and record-keeping requirements.

For example:

  • Enquiries may be retained for as long as needed to respond and maintain relevant correspondence.
  • Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or it is otherwise no longer needed.
  • Technical and security logs may be retained for a period determined by operational and security requirements.
  • Analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention policies of the relevant provider.

Actual retention periods depend on the type of information and the services in use. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or anonymize it, where appropriate.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should exercise care when sending information online and avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal details in messages or enquiries.

12. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Object to or request restrictions on certain processing activities.
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sharing, or profiling activities where applicable.
  • Request information about how your personal information is handled.
  • Lodge a complaint with a relevant privacy regulator.

You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in the message, where available.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

We will respond within the time limits required by applicable law. Some requests may be subject to lawful exceptions.

13. Children's Privacy

Here We Go China is intended for people seeking travel information and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate steps as required by law.

14. China Travel Information and Real-World Changes

Here We Go China provides general travel information for educational and planning purposes. Our content may discuss entry requirements, visas, accommodation registration, local laws, payment methods, mobile connectivity, internet access, transportation, prices, opening hours, and other travel-related matters.

Travel information may not reflect live or real-time conditions. Rules, procedures, prices, availability, operating hours, services, and local requirements can change after an article is published or updated.

Although we aim to keep our content accurate and useful, we cannot guarantee that every article reflects the latest circumstances at the time you read it or travel.

You should independently verify important details with relevant official government authorities, transport operators, accommodation providers, and service providers before making decisions or travelling.

Do not rely on our website as a substitute for official immigration, legal, medical, financial, or emergency advice.

This section concerns the nature of our travel content. It does not change your privacy rights or the obligations that apply to our handling of personal information.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technologies, service providers, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or seek consent for material changes.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.
