The Hi Backpackers website is owned by Yoann Samama, who is responsible for processing your personal data.

We have adopted this privacy policy, which outlines how we handle the information collected by Hi Backpackers, and also explains the reasons why we need to collect certain personal data about you. Therefore, you should read this privacy policy before using the Hi Backpackers website.

We take care of your personal data and are committed to ensuring its confidentiality and security.

Personal Information We Collect:

When you visit the Hi Backpackers website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, your IP address, your time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that referred you to the site, and how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically collected information as "device information."

Furthermore, we may collect personal data that you provide to us (including, but not limited to, your first name, last name, address, payment information, etc.) when you register, in order to fulfill the agreement.

Why Do We Process Your Data?

Our priority is the security of our customers' data. To this end, we only process minimal user data that is strictly necessary to maintain the website. The automatically collected information is used solely to identify potential abuse cases and to generate statistical data regarding website usage. These statistical reports are not aggregated in a way that would allow identification of a specific user.

You can visit the site without telling us who you are or revealing any information that could personally identify you. However, if you wish to use certain features of the site, subscribe to our newsletter, or provide other details through a form, you may provide personal data such as your email, first name, last name, city of residence, organization, or phone number. You may choose not to provide your personal data, but this could limit your access to certain features of the site. For example, you will not be able to receive our newsletter or contact us directly via the site. If you are unsure about which information is required, feel free to reach out to us at contact@hibackpackers.com.
