What This Website Does
This website is an independent travel guide about seeing the northern lights in Iceland. We publish information to help you plan northern lights tours from Reykjavik and understand the best time to visit. We do not operate tours, own vehicles, or collect bookings directly.
Tours featured on this site are operated by local Icelandic companies and booked through third-party platforms. We may earn a commission when you book through links on our pages.
Information We Collect
When you visit this website, our server automatically logs standard technical information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of each request. This data helps us understand how visitors use the site and diagnose technical problems.
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read our content. You can browse articles about bus tours, Thingvellir National Park, or forecast resources without identifying yourself.
Cookies and Embedded Content
This website uses cookies to remember your preferences and track affiliate referrals. When you interact with tour booking widgets on pages such as small group tours or private tours, those widgets are provided by GetYourGuide through the Travelpayouts affiliate network. These third parties may set their own cookies to track conversions and manage bookings.
GetYourGuide and Travelpayouts have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data collected through their widgets. We do not control or access the information they collect. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of booking widgets.
Affiliate Tracking
We participate in affiliate programs to earn commission on bookings made through links on this site. When you click a tour link and complete a booking, a cookie records that the referral came from our website. The affiliate platform uses this information to credit us with the sale.
Affiliate tracking does not require us to access your payment details, passport information, or other personal data you provide to the tour operator or booking platform. We only receive aggregated reports showing the number and value of bookings, without individual customer information.
Your Rights and Contact
You have the right to know what data we hold, request corrections, or ask us to delete your information. Because we do not collect accounts or store personal data beyond server logs, most requests will relate to log retention or affiliate cookies.
Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and analytics purposes. If you have questions about this privacy policy or wish to exercise your rights, contact us at hello@icelandnorthernlightstours.com. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe.
