Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 29, 2026

The Wander Method ("we," "us," "our") operates thewandermethod.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

The short version: we collect your email if you sign up for our list, we use affiliate/referral links to credit card and travel products, we don't sell your personal information, and you can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data at any time.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly: your email address and name (if provided) when you sign up for our newsletter, request a guide, or contact us. This information is stored in a private Google Sheet used solely to manage our mailing list.

Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and any analytics tools we use may automatically log standard technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate location (city/region level), and pages visited. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

Cookies: the Site may use cookies or similar technologies set by third-party tools (such as analytics or the credit card issuers' own referral tracking) to remember your visit and attribute referrals correctly. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended.

2. How We Use Your Information

To send the content, guides, or tools you signed up for
To send occasional newsletters about travel rewards strategy (you can unsubscribe anytime)
To respond to questions you send us
To understand which pages and tools are useful, so we can improve the Site

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Affiliate & Referral Links

The Site contains referral and affiliate links to credit card issuers and other travel products. If you click one of these links and are approved for a product, we may receive a commission or referral bonus at no additional cost to you. The issuer (e.g., Chase, American Express, Capital One) may use cookies or tracking parameters in these links to attribute the referral to us. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of those third-party sites once you leave thewandermethod.com. See our Terms & Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the Site, each with its own privacy practices:

Google (Sheets/Apps Script): stores email sign-ups
Cloudflare: hosts the Site
Credit card issuers (Chase, American Express, Capital One, and partner banks): process referral link clicks and applications

5. Your Choices & Rights

You may unsubscribe from our email list at any time using the link in any email we send, or by emailing us directly. You can also ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the email below — we'll respond within a reasonable time.

6. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
