Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Choicesniftycornr Media Ltd

Choicesniftycornr Media Ltd ("we", "our", or "the Platform") operates choicesniftycornr.mom. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of data integrity and transparency. This comprehensive Privacy Policy outlines the terms under which personal data is collected, stored, processed, and safeguarded under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. The Editorial and Non-Transactional Nature of the Site

Choicesniftycornr operates solely as an independent architectural guide and hotel discovery directory. We do not process reservations, collect credit card details, take security deposits, or confirm bookings. Any links to third-party hotel booking engines (such as The Phoenicia Malta, Rosselli AX Privilege, The Xara Palace, Cugó Gran Macina, or Hyatt Regency Malta) direct you away from our domain. We encourage visitors to review the independent privacy policies of those external booking providers.

2. Categories of Information Collected

We collect minimal information necessary to deliver and protect our editorial service:

Direct Contact Data: When you submit a dispatch via our Curator Contact Form, we process your full name, email address, message topic, and the contents of your inquiry.
Technical & Telemetry Data: IP addresses, browser user agent strings, approximate geographical region (country-level), screen dimensions, operating system, and referral headers collected anonymously via server access logs.
Consent Preferences: Records of your interaction with our cookie banner stored locally within your browser's localStorage.

3. Legal Bases for Processing Under GDPR

Under Article 6 of the EU GDPR, our processing of data relies upon:

Legitimate Interests: Maintaining platform stability, preventing malicious automated scraping or denial-of-service attempts, and managing editorial feedback.
Consent: Given freely when you choose to accept optional analytical cookies or contact our editorial desk directly.
Compliance with Legal Obligations: Retaining necessary server logs to fulfill statutory auditing requirements in Malta.

4. Cookies and Local Storage Technologies

We use localized browser storage (such as localStorage) to store your cookie preferences so that the prompt does not intrude upon every page visit. We do not employ intrusive tracking cookies across external websites. For complete specifics, please read our dedicated Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Service Providers and Data Transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Minimal technical telemetry may be processed by trusted European and US-based infrastructure providers bound by standard contractual clauses (SCCs) to guarantee GDPR equivalence.

6. Your Data Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

As a data subject, you hold specific enforceable statutory rights, including:

Right of Access: You may request copies of personal data held regarding your person.
Right of Rectification: You may request corrections to inaccurate personal records.
Right of Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request complete erasure of your correspondence records where legal retention mandates do not apply.
Right to Object and Restrict Processing: You may challenge processing founded on legitimate interest.
Non-Discrimination: Under CCPA, exercising your privacy rights will never result in degraded access to our public directory content.

7. Data Retention and Security Protocols

Communication submissions are retained for a maximum of 24 months to address ongoing editorial inquiries, after which they are permanently expunged. Our servers utilize TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, strict firewalls, and regular vulnerability audits.
