Your Data, In Plain English

Privacy

Last updated: April 13, 2026. We wrote this page in the same voice we use everywhere else, because hiding the rules behind legalese is how you lose trust. If anything's unclear, ask us.

Who we are

WOW Foodies is operated by RocketTour Media Ltd., registered in Israel. When we say "we" or "us" on this page, that's who we mean. When we say "you," we mean any person who visits wfoodies.com or books a tour with us.

If you need to reach the person responsible for privacy, email privacy@wfoodies.com.

What we collect

When you browse the site, we collect: your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referrer, and rough location (country and city level) via cookies and standard server logs.

When you book a tour, we collect: your full name, email, phone number, payment details (processed by our payment provider - we never see your full card number), dietary restrictions, allergies, and the name and contact for anyone else on your booking.

When you message us on WhatsApp or email, we keep the message thread so we can help you and improve our service.

When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect: your email. That's it.

Why we use it

To deliver the tour you booked - meeting-point texts, reminders, dietary briefings to your guide, safety info.

To process payments and prevent fraud.

To reply to your questions and handle support.

To improve the site and the tours: which pages work, which don't, which routes get the best reviews.

To send the newsletter, if you opted in. You can unsubscribe from every email with one click.

To comply with legal obligations like tax, accounting, and regulatory record-keeping.

Who we share it with

Your guide receives the minimum info needed to run the tour - first name, dietary notes, and any accessibility requirements.

Payment processors (Stripe) handle card transactions. Our analytics provider (Google Analytics 4, with IP anonymization) helps us understand traffic. Our email provider sends confirmations and newsletters. Our hosting and database provider stores the site and bookings.

We never sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We only hand data to authorities when we're legally required to.

Cookies

We use a small set of cookies: essential ones that keep the site working (like remembering what's in your cart), and analytics ones that help us understand how the site is used. Non-essential cookies are only set after you accept them on the banner.

You can clear cookies at any time from your browser settings. Doing so won't affect the tour you've already booked.

How long we keep it

Booking records: 7 years, for tax and accounting.

Support conversations: 3 years, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Newsletter email: until you unsubscribe, then 30 days in a suppression list so we don't accidentally email you again.

Analytics data: 14 months, then aggregated or deleted.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you what we have on you, correct it, delete it, export it to another service, or restrict how we use it. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interest, and withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

Email privacy@wfoodies.com with your request. We reply within 30 days. If we need longer, we'll tell you why.

If you're not satisfied with how we handle a request, you have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Where your data lives

Our primary servers are in the EU. Some providers (e.g., Google Analytics) may process data in the United States. When data moves outside the EU, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent safeguards as required by GDPR.

Children

Our site and tours aren't designed for children under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes, we'll email anyone with an active booking or newsletter subscription and post a notice on the site for 30 days. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
