Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

​

Wander With Marla ("this site") is a travel and photography blog owned and operated by Marla Brown. Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, how it's used, and the choices you have.

​

Information You Choose to Share

​

You may share personal information with me when you:

​

• Subscribe to email updates: your email address.

• Use the contact form or email me: your name, email address, and anything you include in your message.

• Create an account or log in: the information you provide to set up your member profile.

• Leave a comment: your name, profile information, and your comment, which will be publicly visible.

 

I use this information only to send the emails you signed up for, respond to your messages, and run the site. I never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

​

Information Collected Automatically

​

Like most websites, this site automatically collects some technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and how you arrived at the site. This helps me understand what readers enjoy and improve the blog. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies provided by my website platform and analytics tools.

​

Cookies

​

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site uses cookies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, understand site traffic, and track affiliate referrals. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended.

​

Third-Party Services

​

This site relies on trusted third-party services, which may collect information according to their own privacy policies:

​

• Wix: hosts this website and manages forms, subscriptions, member accounts, and comments.

• Analytics: [Wix Analytics and/or Google Analytics] help me understand how visitors use the site.

• Affiliate partners: when you click an affiliate link (such as Amazon, Booking.com, Viator, or partners through Travelpayouts), those companies may use cookies to track purchases so I can earn a commission. See my Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure page for details.

• Social media and external sites: links to Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, and other sites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies.

 

Email Updates

​

If you subscribe, you'll receive an email when I publish new posts. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

​

How Your Information Is Protected

​

Your information is stored on Wix's secure servers. While no online system is 100% secure, I take reasonable steps to protect the information you share.

​

Your Rights and Choices

​

You can ask me to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you at any time by contacting me. Depending on where you live, such as in the European Union or California, you may have additional rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA, and I'm happy to honor those requests.

​

Children's Privacy

​

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared information with me, please contact me and I will delete it.

​
