Privacy policy

Who we are

wheretokim.com is a personal blog operated by Kim. For privacy questions, contact us via the email address on the website.

What data do we collect?

We do not use marketing cookies or profiling. We do use privacy-friendly, anonymous website statistics to understand which pages are visited.

• Website statistics (Vercel Web Analytics) — anonymous page views (visited URL, referrer, device type, browser, country). No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no marketing profiles. Processor: Vercel.
• Essential preference — your cookie choice is stored locally in your browser (localStorage).
• Server logs — your hosting provider may keep standard technical logs (IP, browser, timestamp) for security.

Cookies & external content

With “Essential only”, we do not load external embeds such as Instagram. With “Accept external content”, Instagram content may load; Instagram (Meta) may place cookies. Affiliate links (e.g. Bol.com, Amazon) lead to external sites with their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links

Some links on wheretokim.com are affiliate links — including through the Bol.com partner program and Amazon Associates. If you buy through such a link, I earn a small commission. You do not pay more at the retailer; your price does not change because of that.

That commission does not influence my editorial judgment. I describe products and trade-offs as I see them; affiliate links help support the site, not push me to recommend something. Sometimes I deliberately link without an affiliate URL (for example when a product is not reliably listed yet).

Not everything in articles is hands-on tested by me. Where content is desk research (indicative prices, “not tested”), that is stated in the text or tables — separate from affiliate links.

Affiliate links on this site use rel="sponsored" where applicable, alongside nofollow. External stores process orders under their own terms and privacy policies.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases through Amazon links. Where to Kim? is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

Legal basis (GDPR)

• Anonymous website statistics: legitimate interest (understanding site usage without profiling).
• Essential cookies/preferences: legitimate interest & technical necessity.
• External embeds: your consent (opt-in).

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object and data portability. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Retention

Cookie preferences remain until you clear them in your browser. Server logs follow the host’s policy. Anonymous analytics are retained in aggregated form by Vercel according to their privacy policy.
