ShadedSeats.com (“ShadedSeats.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trip Hacks Travel LLC (“Trip Hacks Travel”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit ShadedSeats.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices available to you.
By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
Information We Collect
We do not require visitors to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect names, email addresses, or other directly identifying information, unless you choose to contact us directly (for example, by emailing us).
When you visit the Site, certain information is automatically collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Device type
- Referring web page
- Pages visited and time spent on the Site
- Date and time of visit
- Approximate geographic location (derived from IP address)
This information is collected automatically and used in aggregate for site administration, security, and understanding how visitors use the Site. We do not use this information to attempt to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including:
- Analytics cookies, via Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site.
- Affiliate tracking cookies, placed by our affiliate network partners, to track referrals and attribute commissions when you click an affiliate link and make a purchase.
These cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browsing behavior on the Site, and (for affiliate cookies) whether you completed a purchase after clicking a link from our Site. This tracking is performed directly by these third parties and is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Disabling cookies may affect how some features of the Site function.
You may also opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no accepted industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, the Site does not currently change its data collection practices in response to a DNT signal.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Understand aggregate visitor trends and site usage
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues
- Track and attribute affiliate referrals and commissions
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the information we collect to build individual profiles of visitors for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Service Providers
We use the following categories of third-party services on the Site:
- Google Analytics — for website traffic and usage analytics. See Google’s Privacy Policy for how Google collects and processes data.
- Affiliate network partners — to track referrals and pay commissions when you click an affiliate link. Each network operates under its own privacy policy.
These third parties may independently collect information about your visit through their own cookies or tracking technologies. Trip Hacks Travel LLC does not control, and is not responsible for, the data practices of these third parties.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing

Data Retention
We retain analytics data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, consistent with the retention settings of our third-party analytics provider.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the information collected through the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
