This policy explains how Explore Maldives (explore.mv) collects and uses information when you visit the site. The right column provides a plain-English summary — the left column is what is legally binding.
We collect a minimal set of technical data to operate the site:
We do not collect payment information, device fingerprints, or any data beyond what is listed above.
We store a random ID in a cookie to count visits. If you search, we log the query. If you sign in, we store your name and email. That's it.
The data we collect is used solely to:
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating explore.mv.
We use the data to keep the site running and to see which entries are most visited. No advertising. No profiling.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties except where required by law. Infrastructure providers (hosting, database) have access to data as a technical necessity, and are bound by their own privacy obligations. No analytics or advertising third parties receive your data.
We don't sell your data. Our hosting provider can technically access it, but that's a technical requirement, not a choice. No ad networks, no trackers.
We use a single first-party session cookie to maintain your visitor ID and, if signed in, your session. We do not use third-party cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies of any kind.
One cookie. It holds your random visitor ID and, if you sign in, your session. No tracking cookies from other companies.
