Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026. This Privacy Policy details how stpetersbasilica.ai.studio ("we", "our", or "us") collects, utilizes, and safeguards information when you navigate our digital travel guide. We respect your individual privacy rights and adhere strictly to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. Information We Collect

Our website is structured so that you can browse our architectural guides, historical essays, and visiting tips without registering for an account or disclosing your personal identity. We do not require account sign-ups, passwords, or direct payment credentials on our server. Standard server logs automatically capture anonymous technical parameters including your browser type, device operating system, referring URL, time stamps, and truncated IP addresses for diagnostic security purposes only.

2. Third-Party Affiliate Partners & External Widgets

When you click on an affiliate booking link or interact with an embedded GetYourGuide scheduling widget, you transition to an external third-party service provider. GetYourGuide may set tracking cookies on your device to properly attribute referral commissions pursuant to their own published privacy and cookie policies. We do not store or process your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or passport details; all booking transactions occur on the partner's secure encrypted platform.

3. Your Legal Rights Under GDPR

If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA), you possess specific statutory rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability. Because we do not store identifying user records, inquiries regarding booking transaction data must be directed to the ticketing service provider where your reservation was completed. For general data protection questions, contact privacy@stpetersbasilica.ai.studio.
