We built this site for travelers, not advertisers. Here's exactly how your information is — and isn't — used.
TipWise Travel is a free tool built to help travelers. We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, share your email address, or give us any personal information of any kind. We do not sell data. We do not build profiles. We do not track you across the web.
TipWise Travel (tipwisetravel.com) is a free travel utility website providing tipping guides, emergency contact numbers, local phrases, a world clock, measurement converters, and travel gear recommendations. The site is operated independently and is not affiliated with any government, airline, hotel group, or financial institution.
This privacy policy applies to all pages on tipwisetravel.com and describes how we handle information when you visit or use our tools.
We do not collect, store, or have access to any of the following:
Your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or any other contact information. Your IP address, device identifiers, or browser fingerprint. Your location (we do not request or use geolocation data). Your search history on this site. Any financial or payment information. Any demographic information.
No registration is required to use any tool on TipWise Travel. No login, no sign-up, no form to fill out.
When you select a country on our tip calculator, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the site remembers your preference on your next visit. This data is stored entirely on your own device. It never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data.
No cookies are set by TipWise Travel itself for tracking, analytics, or any other purpose.
TipWise Travel displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC. When ads are displayed on this site, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.
We have no access to or control over the cookies or other technologies used by Google. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.
This site may in the future also display advertisements or sponsored content from other advertising networks. If that changes, this policy will be updated to reflect it.
Some pages on TipWise Travel — particularly our Travel Gear section — contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely believe are useful for travelers.
Affiliate links do not involve the collection of your personal information by TipWise Travel. Any data collected by the retailer's website after you click through is governed by that retailer's own privacy policy.
If you submit a suggestion using our feedback form, the text of your message is sent to us via a third-party form service (Formspree) for the sole purpose of improving TipWise Travel. No email address or identifying information is required or stored by us. Please refer to Formspree's Privacy Policy for information on how they handle form submissions.
TipWise Travel contains links to external websites including retailer sites, affiliate partners, and reference resources. Once you leave tipwisetravel.com, this privacy policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites.
TipWise Travel may be found through search engines including Google Search and Bing, and may be shared on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and others. When you arrive at our site through a search engine or social media link, we do not receive any personal information about you from those platforms.
If you share a link to TipWise Travel on a social media platform, that interaction is governed by that platform's own privacy policy and terms of service. We have no access to data about who shares our content or how.
TipWise Travel is a general-audience travel utility tool. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal information from any user, no special accommodations are required. If you believe a child has somehow submitted personal information to us through our feedback form, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as the site grows and new features are added. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of TipWise Travel after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
