1. Overview & Consumer Data Protection Commitment

At TripTimeShares.com (“TripTimeShares,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), operated by our Consumer Hospitality Research Desk, we respect your privacy and are committed to transparent data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information when you visit https://triptimeshares.com, use our interactive 2026 Timeshare Maintenance Fee & Resale Depreciation Calculators, download our public CSV/JSON hospitality datasets, or click outbound partner links.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

When you access TripTimeShares.com, standard server telemetry and analytics tools collect non-personally identifiable technical metadata:

  • Log & Device Telemetry: IP address (anonymized where applicable), browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps.
  • Analytics & Performance Measurement: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with Enhanced Measurement and Microsoft Clarity to understand aggregate reader engagement, scroll depth, and calculator interactions.
  • Cookies & Affiliate Attribution Tokens: When you click a resort promotional link, hotel comparison widget, or flight search tool (such as via our /go/ tracking endpoints or Travelpayouts / Klook / Kiwi.com partner scripts), a temporary referral cookie or SubID parameter is set by the merchant to credit referral commissions at zero additional cost to you.

3. Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you submit an inquiry via our Contact page, subscribe to our hospitality research alerts, or request a secondary resale valuation checklist, we collect the name, email address, and message details you explicitly submit. We never sell, rent, or trade your email address or personal contact data to third-party telemarketers or upfront-fee timeshare exit companies.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To publish, maintain, and improve our independent resort fee benchmarks, room-code matrices, and destination travel guides.
  • To respond directly to reader questions, press inquiries, and data verification requests.
  • To detect and prevent automated scraping abuse, credential stuffing, or malicious bot traffic.
  • To comply with applicable federal and state consumer privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

5. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure

TripTimeShares.com is an independent consumer travel and hospitality publication. Some guides contain contextual links to vetted travel booking platforms (including Klook, Kiwi.com, Expedia, and promotional resort preview offers). Once you leave TripTimeShares.com, the privacy policy of the destination booking platform governs your transaction.

6. Your Privacy Rights & Contact Information

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to us at any time by contacting our editorial and compliance desk via our Contact Page. This policy is reviewed quarterly and was last updated for the 2026 hospitality audit cycle.
