Hidden Gems

Privacy policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

This page explains what information is collected when you visit Hidden Gems (hiddengems-7ag.pages.dev), who collects it, and the choices you have. Hidden Gems is run by GemsFinder. To contact us by email, click here. You can also send a direct message on TikTok to @gemsfinder8.

What we collect

We don't ask you to create an account or fill in any forms. We don't collect your name, email or payment details. The information collected comes from the services below, mostly through cookies and similar technologies:

  • Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time on page, device and browser type, approximate location (country or city), and the site that sent you here.
  • Cookie and device identifiers: used by Google to count visits and to show and measure ads.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site, for example which places get the most clicks. Google Analytics uses cookies and doesn't give us information that identifies you personally. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

For more detail, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the partner's website (for example a tour, hotel or insurance provider) may set its own cookie to record that you came from us, so we can earn a commission if you book. That doesn't change your price. The partner's own privacy policy applies once you're on their site.

TikTok links

Links to our TikTok videos open TikTok's website or app. We don't embed TikTok on this page, so TikTok doesn't set cookies here. TikTok's own privacy policy applies once you open a video.

Your choices and consent

If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, analytics and advertising cookies stay off until you accept them in the consent banner. You can change your choice at any time from the "Privacy and cookie settings" link in the banner. Everywhere else, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and use the opt-out links above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data for targeted advertising. Because we don't hold data that identifies you, most requests are handled by the services above. Email or message us (links at the top of this page) and we'll help.

How long data is kept

Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months (set in GA4 > Admin > Data retention). Advertising and affiliate cookies are kept according to each provider's own policy.

Children

This site isn't aimed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU), and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
