Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 31, 2026

Before you publish this: confirm the specific analytics, advertising, and cookie tools listed below match what you actually use on the Site, remove or add rows as needed. Have this reviewed by an attorney before publishing, privacy law (especially state-by-state US requirements and any international traffic considerations) changes frequently.

This Privacy Policy explains how Hajime LLC, doing business as Plancun ("Plancun," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit Plancun.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

The Site does not currently require account creation, and we do not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details through the Site itself. If this changes (for example, if we add a newsletter signup or contact form), this policy will be updated to reflect what is collected and why.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, including:

Data TypeExamples
Device and browser informationBrowser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution
Usage dataPages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, referring website
Approximate locationGeneral location derived from IP address (typically city or region level, not precise GPS)
Cookies and similar technologiesSmall data files stored on your device to remember preferences and track site usage
Local browser storageUsed on certain pages (such as our packing checklist and age-verification gate) to remember your choices between visits, stored only on your own device

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies, directly or through third-party tools such as [Google Analytics], to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content and functionality. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling cookies may affect certain Site features.

3. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Tracking

The Site contains affiliate links to third-party businesses, including but not limited to Amazon Associates, Awin, Viator, Rakuten, and various individual hotel, tour, and service providers. When you click an affiliate link, the third-party company may place its own cookies or tracking technologies on your device to track the referral and any resulting purchase, which allows us to earn a commission. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use your data, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of these third parties.

4. How We Use Information

Information collected through the Site is used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
  • Understand how visitors use the Site, to inform what content we create
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
  • Track affiliate referrals so we can earn commissions from our partners
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money. Depending on how "sale" or "sharing" is defined under applicable state privacy law (see Section 7 below), certain advertising or analytics cookies may be considered a form of data "sharing," even though no direct sale occurs.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking, which may include (update this list to reflect the tools you actually use):

  • Google Analytics (website usage analytics)
  • Awin, Viator Partner Program, Amazon Associates, Rakuten Advertising, ShareASale, and Commission Junction (affiliate tracking)
  • [Any advertising networks, if applicable]

These third parties may collect information about your visits to the Site and other websites in order to provide measurement services and target advertisements.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Certain sections of the Site (our "After Dark" content) are restricted to users 18 and older via an age confirmation gate. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.

7. Your Privacy Rights (California and Other US Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), may give you certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
  • Request deletion of personal information we hold about you
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising)
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Residents of other US states with comparable privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others) may have similar rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@plancun.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. International Visitors

If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, including from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer. If you are located in the EEA or UK, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or delete your data, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected data (such as analytics and usage data) only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Locally stored browser data (such as checklist progress or age-gate confirmation) remains on your device until you clear your browser data or it expires.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is currently no industry-standard way to respond to these signals, and the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
