Slow Vietnam (“we”, “this site”, slowvietnam.com) respects your privacy. This page explains what data is collected when you visit and how it’s used.
Information we collect
- Automatically: like most websites, our server logs basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance purposes.
- Analytics: we may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand which guides are useful. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
- Comments/contact: if you contact us or leave a comment, we receive what you submit (e.g., your email) and use it only to respond.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising (see below). You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links (e.g., to Klook or other booking platforms). If you click one, the partner may set a cookie so that a booking can be attributed to this site, earning us a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to services we consider genuinely useful, and affiliate relationships never change our editorial opinions.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google. Google and its partners use advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads to you based on your prior visits to this website or other websites, and to measure ad performance. You can read more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party ad cookies more broadly at www.aboutads.info.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message before any personalized advertising is served, and can review or change their consent choice at any time via the link in the site footer or the message itself.
Your rights
You may request access to, or deletion of, any personal data you’ve submitted to us (e.g., via contact or comments) by emailing us. We don’t sell personal data to anyone.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional legal rights — for example under the GDPR (European Economic Area/UK) or the CCPA/CPRA (California): the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the contact page.
Third-party links
Our guides link to external websites. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites — check their policies.

Privacy questions: reach us via the contact page.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and store it securely for the sole purpose of sending you our travel updates (at most a few emails per month). We never sell or share your address. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can request deletion of your data at any time via our contact page.
