Privacy policy

Responsibility

Any person accessing this website assumes the role of user, committing to the observance and strict compliance with the provisions herein, as well as any other legal provision that may be applicable.
The provider disclaims any liability for the information published on its website and for the lack of availability (crashes) of the site which will also make periodic stops for technical maintenance. Furthermore, the provider reserves the right to modify any type of information that may appear on the website, without any obligation to give prior notice or inform users of these obligations, with publication on the provider’s website being understood to be sufficient.

Use of Cookies

The provider’s website may use cookies (small text files that the server sends to the computer of the person accessing the page). This is a technique commonly used on the Internet to carry out certain functions that are considered essential for the correct functioning and visualisation of the site. The cookies used on the website are, in any case, of a temporary nature with the sole purpose of making their subsequent transmission more efficient and they disappear when the user’s session ends. Under no circumstances will cookies be used to collect personal information.
From the client’s website it is possible that you may be redirected to content on third party websites. Given that the provider cannot always control the content introduced by third parties on their websites, the provider assumes no responsibility for such content. In any case, the provider undertakes to immediately remove any content that could contravene national or international legislation, morality or public order, proceeding to the immediate withdrawal of the redirection to said website, informing the competent authorities of the content in question.

Amazon and booking and experience Affiliate Cookies

Affiliate service cookies are also used for Amazon products, for example, so when you recommend a product, and you definitely buy after going through the Amazon platform, I will get a commission. More information can be found in the Amazon Affiliates section.

Protection of personal data

The provider complies with Spanish legislation on the protection of personal data, and guarantees full compliance with the obligations set out in Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, on the Protection of Personal Data (LOPD), Royal Decree 1720/2007, of 21 December, which approves the Regulation of development of the LOPD and other regulations in force at all times, and ensures the correct use and processing of the user’s personal data.

Anti-spam policy

The provider declares that it is completely against the sending of unsolicited commercial communications and any type of conduct or manifestation known as “spam”, and also declares its commitment to the fight against this type of abusive practices.
Therefore, the provider guarantees the user that under no circumstances will the personal data collected on the website be assigned, shared, transferred or sold to any third party.
For the same reasons, the registration process should not be used to register e-mail addresses of third parties without the express consent of the persons concerned. https://kyototips.com/ implements as a countermeasure to these practices a double opt-in mailing list that requires explicit confirmation by the owner of the e-mail account indicated as a subscription address, before receiving e-mail communications.
In the event that a user still receives communications from this website without having registered, or without having given their express consent to such registration, they can unsubscribe from the links provided in the communication itself.
In addition, the user can contact us through the contact form maintained on the website, both to communicate what has happened and to request the immediate removal of their data from our system.
