Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

If you send us an email (for example via the addresses listed on the Contact page), we will receive whatever you choose to include in that message — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, Tiznit.net collects certain technical information automatically when you visit, including:

• Your IP address (or a truncated/anonymised version of it).
• Browser type, browser language, and operating system.
• Referring URL and the pages you visit on the site.
• Approximate location (country or region), inferred from IP.
• Date and time of your visit and session duration.

This information is collected through standard server logs and third-party analytics and advertising services described below.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

• Reply to messages you send us.
• Understand how the site is used, so we can improve content and layout.
• Maintain site security and detect abuse.
• Serve advertising, including personalised advertising where permitted.
• Meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Cookies

Tiznit.net uses cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) for analytics and advertising. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser.

Cookie categories used on this site:

• Strictly necessary: needed for basic site functioning.
• Analytics: used to understand site usage (for example via Google Analytics).
• Advertising: used by Google AdSense and similar networks to show advertisements, including personalised advertising where permitted.

A more detailed cookie description and opt-out guidance is on our Cookie Policy page.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behaviour in aggregate (pages viewed, approximate location, device type, referrer). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers. Details are available in Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense & Third Parties)

Tiznit.net may display advertising provided by Google, as a third party vendor, through Google AdSense. In connection with this:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve advertisements on our site.
• Google's use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, users may opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or YourOnlineChoices.com.

Google and third-party advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to Tiznit.net and other websites, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. For more information on how Google uses data from sites or apps that use its services, see this Google policy page.

We do not control cookies used by third-party advertising partners. Please consult the respective privacy policies of those partners for more details.

6. Legal Basis (GDPR)

If you visit Tiznit.net from a country in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Consent — for non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, personalisation). Where required by local law, we ask for consent before loading these cookies.
• Legitimate interests — for basic site operation, security, and aggregate analytics where consent is not required.
• Legal obligation — where we are required by law to retain or disclose certain information.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding the personal information we hold about you:

• The right to be informed about what data is collected and how it is used.
• The right of access — to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to rectification — to have inaccurate data corrected.
• The right to erasure — to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
• The right to restrict or object to processing.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
• The right to data portability.
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have additional rights, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including for cross-context behavioural advertising), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy [at] tiznit.net.

8. Data Retention

We retain server logs and basic analytics data for a limited period consistent with standard web-hosting and analytics practice (typically 14 to 26 months for analytics data, and shorter periods for raw server logs). Emails sent to us are retained for as long as needed to handle the correspondence and any follow-up, and then deleted.

9. Third-Party Links

Tiznit.net links to external websites (for example Google's policy pages, Wikipedia, cooperative websites, booking platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies before providing them with information.

10. Children's Privacy

Tiznit.net is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. International Transfers

Because Tiznit.net uses services provided by companies based outside your country (for example Google), data collected about your visit may be processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection rules than your own. We rely on the safeguards put in place by these providers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent mechanisms.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Where changes are substantial, we will highlight them on the site.
