We keep this simple, because our approach to your information is simple: we collect almost nothing, we never sell anything, and we don't send spam. This page explains exactly what we do and don't do.

Who we are
Inside Tainan is a personal travel guide to Tainan, Taiwan, written by two people who live here. This policy covers the website at insidetainan.com.
What we collect
Two things, and only two:
- Your email address, but only if you give it to us. If you type your email into one of our sign-up boxes, we store that email. If you never fill in a form, we never have it.
- Anonymous, aggregate usage data. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand general traffic patterns, which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, what device they use. This is aggregate and statistical. We are not trying to identify you personally, and we don't.
We do not ask for, collect, or store your name, address, phone number, payment details, or anything else.
How we use your email
This is the part that matters most, so we'll be direct about it.
If you give us your email, we will use it for one purpose only: to contact you in the future about our local tours, if and when we launch them. That's it.
- We will not send you spam.
- We will not send you other people's offers, ads, or promotions.
- We will not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone.
- We may not email you at all for a long time, possibly not until the tours are actually ready.
If we ever change what we'd use your email for, we would ask you first, not assume.
Cookies and analytics
Google Analytics uses cookies to measure site traffic in aggregate. These help us see what's useful and what isn't. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the site will still work normally.
Your choices
You're in control of your email. If you've signed up and want us to delete it, just ask and we'll remove it. You can reach us through our Work with us page.
A note on our recommendations
Everything we recommend on this site is our personal opinion, shared for general information and for entertainment. Places change, hours change, and businesses close. Always do your own research and call ahead before you build a plan around anything you read here. See our Terms of Use for more.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top. Continued use of the site means you're okay with the current version.
