Privacy and data use

This page explains the website’s principal information flows. Caribbean Issues is the publisher. For questions about your information, or to request access, correction or deletion, email info@caribbeanissues.com. Identify the relevant submission or service without sending passwords, payment details or identity documents.

Reading and website measurement

The site measures page visits and actions such as article, source, subscription and product clicks. Its first-party event records contain page paths, referral or campaign categories, placement and interaction information. Do not put personal information in campaign links. Hosting and security services may process technical request information, including IP addresses, to deliver the site and prevent abuse.

Google Analytics also measures aggregate website use, including page views, engagement, broad acquisition sources and selected site actions. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled. Google may process device and network information under its own privacy terms. You can block this measurement with browser tracking controls or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Browser storage supports preferences, attribution, saved planning choices and dismissed notices. You can remove this information through your browser’s site-data controls. Clearing it may reset your preferences and saved plans.

Comments and private submissions

Reader comments include the name, location and text you choose to submit. Approved comments are public. Do not include private contact details or sensitive information in a public comment. Anti-spam checks use Cloudflare Turnstile and hashed request information.

Destination corrections and Finder Spotlight entries are reviewed privately. The information you provide is used to assess the submission and, where relevant, contact you. New submissions keep contact email separate from the review text. Marking an entry reviewed does not publish it as a comment. Any Spotlight publication follows the permissions described on its entry form.

Submission records remain available for editorial review and follow-up; they are not automatically deleted after a fixed interval. You can ask the publisher to review or delete your personal information. Some records may need to be retained for security, a dispute or an applicable obligation.

Destination Finder and optional assistance

The Finder calculates destination matches in your browser. Optional travel details prepare partner links; following those links sends the information included in the link to the destination service. A fit score is a comparison based on the tool’s criteria, not a probability, safety guarantee or independent rating.

Some site assistance features can send a question to the website’s server and its AI service when you request that assistance. Avoid entering confidential or sensitive information. Private form submissions are separate from the Finder’s public destination rankings.

Subscriptions, purchases and partner links

Substack manages newsletter subscriptions and paid membership. Ko-fi and linked merchants manage their own purchases and checkout. Those services apply their own privacy terms. Caribbean Issues does not collect card details through this website. Purchase verification for a paid planning feature can process a transaction reference and a hashed email identifier.

Travel and affiliate services, including Travelpayouts, may provide scripts or links on public pages and may receive technical request or referral information. Caribbean Issues may earn a commission from eligible purchases. A commercial relationship does not buy a destination ranking or change an editorial conclusion.

Questions and choices

You can read public articles without submitting a comment or entering a competition. Use your browser’s storage and tracking controls, and the relevant service’s unsubscribe or account controls. Contact info@caribbeanissues.com for website-related data requests. We may need enough information to verify that a request relates to your record.
