Wow, if you’ve made it to this page, you must really care about privacy. It’s certainly not the most exciting page on our site! But the good news is that we care about privacy too, especially yours.
At Free Two Roam we will always respect your privacy, and we will never knowingly abuse it. In fact, we aim to minimise how much of your personal information we collect.
Here’s the longer, legalese version of our privacy policy. It’s great if you’re having trouble sleeping!
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 11 October 2026
Welcome to Free Two Roam! We’re an Australian travel blog sharing our experiences, photographs, travel tips and adventures from around the world.
We respect your privacy and believe you should know what happens to your information when you visit our website.
This policy explains what information we may collect, why we collect it, how it’s used and what choices you have.
1. Who we are
Free Two Roam is an independently operated travel blog based in Queensland, Australia.
Our website address is https://www.freetworoam.com.
For privacy enquiries, you can contact us at simon@freetworoam.com.
2. Information we collect
Most of Free Two Roam can be browsed without providing your name or contact details.
However, we may collect information in the following circumstances:
When you contact us: We receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and message, so that we can respond.
When you leave a comment: If comments are enabled, we may collect the information entered into the comment form, together with technical information such as your IP address and browser details, to help detect spam and prevent abuse.
When you browse the website: Our hosting provider and any analytics services we use may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and approximate geographic location.
We aim to collect only information reasonably needed to operate and improve the website.
3. How we use information
We may use information collected through Free Two Roam to:
- Operate, maintain and secure the website.
- Respond to messages and enquiries.
- Publish and moderate comments.
- Understand how visitors use the website and improve its content.
- Detect spam, abuse and technical problems.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information to data brokers.
4. Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files that websites can store on your device. They can help websites remember preferences, maintain functionality and understand how visitors use a site.
Free Two Roam may use cookies for website functionality, security, analytics and content provided by third-party services.
You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect certain website features.
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, we will seek that consent before enabling them.
5. Affiliate links and advertising
Some articles contain affiliate links to travel companies, accommodation providers, tour operators or other businesses.
If you follow one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
When you follow an affiliate link, the destination website or an affiliate tracking provider may use cookies or other technologies to attribute your visit or purchase to Free Two Roam.
These third parties manage their own information collection and privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Affiliate relationships do not change our commitment to sharing our genuine travel experiences and opinions.
6. Embedded content and external websites
Some articles may include embedded videos, maps, social media content or travel booking widgets.
Embedded content may behave much like a visit to the third-party website that provides it. Depending on the service, it may collect technical information, use cookies or track your interactions.
Free Two Roam also links to external websites. We do not control the privacy practices of those sites and recommend reviewing their policies separately.
7. Third-party services and overseas processing
We use third-party services to host, maintain and operate Free Two Roam. Depending on the services in use, information may be processed by providers operating outside Australia.
These may include website hosting, spam prevention, analytics, embedded content and affiliate tracking providers.
We aim to use reputable service providers and limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for each service.
8. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or where applicable law requires or permits longer retention.
For example, correspondence may be retained to manage enquiries, and published comments may remain on the website unless removed.
Technical logs, analytics information and information processed by third-party providers may have different retention periods.
9. Keeping information secure
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse and disclosure.
These may include secure website connections, access controls, software updates and security measures provided by our hosting and other service providers.
No system connected to the internet can guarantee complete security.
10. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live and the privacy laws that apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information about you.
You can contact us if you would like to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you.
- Request a correction or deletion where applicable.
- Raise a privacy concern or complaint.
- Ask questions about how information is handled.
We will review requests and respond in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before taking action.
You can also control many cookies through your browser settings.
11. Visitors from other countries
Free Two Roam is operated from Australia, but we welcome readers from around the world.
Depending on your location, additional privacy laws may apply to how your personal information is collected and handled.
Where those laws apply, we will respect the rights and requirements they establish.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, the services we use or applicable privacy requirements.
The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
