How The Mirror of the World collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website. Effective date: October 5, 2026.
1. Who we are
The Mirror of the World (themirroroftheworld.com) is an independent travel guide about the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the team behind this website, based in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it and the choices you have.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you contact us through our contact form or WhatsApp, you may share your name, email address, phone number, travel dates, the number of travelers and the content of your message. Our contact form does not store your data on our website: it prepares a message that you send yourself through WhatsApp.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, the page that referred you and the date and time of your visit.
3. How we use your information
- To answer your questions and help you plan your trip.
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
- To understand which pages and guides are most useful to travelers.
- To keep the website secure and prevent spam or abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember preferences, measure traffic and attribute bookings made through our partner links. Analytics services such as Google Analytics may set their own cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work correctly without them.
5. Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may receive a commission from the partner at no additional cost to you. Our partners currently include Civitatis (tours and activities), Booking.com (hotels), Skyscanner (flights), SafetyWing (travel insurance), AirHelp (flight delay compensation) and Amazon (travel gear).
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
When you book through a partner, your booking, payment and personal data are handled by that partner under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your payment details. Our recommendations are based on what we believe is useful for travelers to the Salar de Uyuni.
6. Third-party services and embedded content
Pages on this site may include content from other services, such as Google Maps, the Skyscanner flight search widget, WhatsApp and links to our partners. These services may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with their content, as if you visited their websites directly. Please review their privacy policies for details.
7. Sharing and data retention
We only share information with service providers that help us run the website (for example hosting, security and analytics), when required by law, or to protect our rights. We keep messages and inquiries only as long as needed to answer you and for our normal records, and then delete them.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the European Union, the United Kingdom and states such as California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw your consent. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law.
9. Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
