In the web we trust. Sort of. I don't blame people who refuse to trust the internet, think twice about sharing their details online or are deeply sceptical about the sense in giving all your life secrets to the carnivorous database behind Facebook.

But we're not Facebook. We don't actually know who you are, not even when you join the newsletter so we can send you emails every month. We have a vague idea of who our readers are, we watch eagerly to see if they like our stories when they go online and encourage everyone to share the joy with their friends. But we respect your privacy in deed and thought.

Naked Hungry Traveller uses information collected during emails, web sessions and anything else that our geeks natter about in order to deliver better content and avoid serving up irrelevant insights. We let Google do clever things with advertising, we let Facebook connect you and your friends on our site and we rely on a lovely bunch of folks at Mailchimp to manage the newsletter as professionally as possible.

Here's the boring legal bit though. By using our site, signing to the mailing list, sharing your preferences and comments with us and Facebook you are accepting our privacy commitment. You agree to our terms of usage by using the site, and if you feel we have not earned your trust then best you surf on another website. But we hope you do feel the trust, hope there's a smile on your lips and look forward to sharing what we know in the world of travel.
