Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 5, 2026
Who we are: The Impossible Nomad (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates theimpossiblenomad.com and related pages (the “Site”). Our contact email is [email protected]. We are based in Wake County, North Carolina, USA and serve an international audience.
1) Scope
This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our Site, download resources, purchase digital products, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise interact with us. It applies to the Site and any services that link to or reference this Policy.
2) Information We Collect
a) Information you provide directly
- Contact & account info: name, email address, country/region, and any details you submit via forms or email.
- Purchases: billing details handled by our payment processor (we do not store full payment card numbers on our servers).
- Support messages: content of your messages and attachments you send to [email protected].
- Survey/feedback data: responses you choose to provide.
b) Information collected automatically
- Usage data: pages viewed, referring/exit pages, clicks, approximate location (city/country), device type, browser, operating system.
- Cookies & similar tech: small files placed on your device to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. See Cookies below.
c) Information from third parties
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe/PayPal or similar): confirm payment status, timestamps, and limited billing info.
- Email service & analytics providers: open rates, link clicks, unsubscribes, and aggregated stats.
- Embedded/linked services: if you follow links to other sites, their privacy policies apply.
We do not intentionally collect “sensitive” personal information (e.g., health, biometric, precise geolocation). Please do not submit such data to us.
3) How We Use Information
We process information to:
- Provide the Site, digital products, downloads, and support
- Send transactional emails (e.g., purchase confirmations, delivery links)
- Send optional updates, travel news, and content you opt in to receive
- Improve the Site (debugging, analytics, and feature development)
- Enforce our terms, protect against fraud/abuse, and comply with legal obligations
4) Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK only)
If you are in the EEA/UK, we rely on:
- Consent (e.g., newsletter subscriptions, certain cookies)
- Contract (to deliver purchased products you request)
- Legal obligation (recordkeeping, tax)
- Legitimate interests (website analytics, security, preventing abuse), balanced against your rights and expectations
You may withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe links in emails).
5) When We Share Information
We share information only with:
- Service providers/processors who help us run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payments). They must protect your data and use it only for our instructions.
- Legal & safety: if required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or security.
- Business changes: in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, your information may be transferred under this Policy.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not offer job placement or resume services; any links to external job boards are informational only.
6) Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you signed in and remember preferences
- Measure traffic and performance
- Deliver downloads reliably
You can manage cookies in your browser settings. If you are in a region that requires consent (e.g., EEA/UK), we will display a consent banner where applicable. Some features may not work without certain cookies.
Do Not Track: We do not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry standard yet.
7) Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. For example:
- Basic contact and order records: typically 3–7 years for tax/audit purposes
- Analytics data: kept in aggregated or de-identified form where possible
- Support emails: retained as long as reasonably necessary to manage your request and maintain records
8) Your Choices & Rights
a) Email preferences
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time via the link in our messages. We may still send you transactional or service emails (e.g., order delivery).
b) Access, correction, deletion
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and/or port your data.
- How to submit a request: email [email protected] with the subject line Privacy Request and tell us what you’d like to do. We may need to verify your identity.
c) U.S. State Privacy (e.g., CA/CO/CT/VA)
If you reside in a state with privacy laws granting specific rights (e.g., to know, delete, correct, opt-out of “sale/share” or targeted advertising), you can submit a request as above. We do not sell personal information. If we ever engage in targeted advertising or “share” data as defined by law, we will provide required opt-out mechanisms.
d) EEA/UK Complaints
If you are in the EEA/UK, you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first—please email us at [email protected].
9) International Transfers
We are in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries that may have different data-protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs for EEA/UK transfers to processors).
10) Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information (HTTPS, access controls, limited retention). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use caution when sharing information online.
11) Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us information, contact [email protected] and we will promptly delete it.
12) Third-Party Links & Resources
Our Site links to external resources (e.g., official government pages, travel advisories, informational job boards). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal information.
13) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision. Significant changes will be noted on this page (and/or by email if you’re subscribed).
