Affiliate, Advertising, Reviews, AI, and Privacy Disclosure
Last Updated: January 6, 2026
This disclosure explains how Eco Nomad Travel (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Website”) earns revenue, how we label affiliate and sponsored content, how we handle reviews and testimonials, what AI tools may be used in content production, and what privacy choices you have. It is written to be broadly compliant for 2026+ across common consumer-protection and privacy frameworks.
Important: This page is for transparency and informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Laws and enforcement can change. If you need advice for your specific situation, consult qualified counsel in your jurisdiction.
1) Affiliate Relationships
Some outbound links on Eco Nomad Travel are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission or other compensation at no extra cost to you (and sometimes a discount, bonus, or perk may be available through our link).
Common partner categories (examples)
- Travel booking platforms (e.g., flights, hotels, rail, experiences)
- Connectivity (eSIM providers)
- Transfers and rentals (airport transfers, cars/EVs)
- Marketplaces (e.g., Amazon Associates)
- Digital products (e.g., ClickBank or similar networks)
How we label affiliate links
We use disclosures such as “affiliate link,” “sponsored,” “we may earn a commission,” or similar language near links, buttons, and widgets, especially where a reasonable reader could benefit from a clear reminder.
Amazon notice (if applicable): As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
2) Sponsored Content, Ads, and Native Advertising
We may publish sponsored content, accept paid insertions, run display ads, or participate in other advertising arrangements. When content is sponsored, we aim to clearly label it as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” “Paid Partnership,” “Advertorial,” or similar.
Native advertising and brand collaborations
If a brand pays for placement, provides free products/services, sponsors a trip, or otherwise creates a “material connection,” we disclose that relationship in a way intended to be clear and hard to miss.
Ad networks and targeting
Ad networks and analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver or measure ads and site performance. You can typically control non-essential cookies through consent tools (where available) or through your browser/device settings.
3) Reviews, Testimonials, and Editorial Standards
We publish reviews, comparisons, and recommendations to help readers plan trips, choose gear, and book services more confidently. We strive for accuracy and clarity, but experiences can vary.
What “review” means on this site
- Hands-on: where we tested or used a product/service directly (when stated).
- Research-based: where we used documentation, policies, public specs, and reputable third-party sources.
- Mixed: combining real use + research + reader feedback.
Testimonials and user experiences
If we share testimonials, comments, or reader experiences, they are not guarantees of results. Outcomes depend on many factors, including location, seasonality, provider changes, personal needs, and budget.
Free products, comped stays, or press trips
If we receive a product for free, are comped for a stay, or are hosted on a press trip, we will disclose that relationship in the relevant content. We do not promise favorable coverage in exchange for compensation.
4) AI-Assisted Content and Automation
Eco Nomad Travel may use AI tools to assist with drafting, outlining, editing, translation, formatting, image generation, and technical tasks. Human review is used to improve clarity and reduce errors, but AI output can be incomplete or incorrect.
How we use AI responsibly
- We aim to avoid publishing fabricated facts, fake reviews, or invented personal experiences.
- We prioritize official provider terms and reputable sources when describing policies, pricing, and restrictions.
- We update content over time when we find errors or when providers change their offerings.
If you believe something is inaccurate, please contact us and include the page URL and the specific claim so we can review it quickly.
5) Sustainability and Environmental Claims
We discuss eco travel, sustainable tourism, low-impact travel habits, and environmental claims (e.g., “eco-friendly,” “carbon-neutral,” “green”). These terms can be used inconsistently across the industry, so we encourage readers to look for measurable proof (certifications, audits, transparent reporting, or clear operational practices).
Greenwashing risk
A provider’s marketing claims may not reflect their real impact. Where possible, we highlight practical verification steps (energy sources, waste systems, water policies, transit access, and independent certifications).

6) Pricing, Availability, and Third-Party Terms
Prices, availability, routing, and policies can change at any time and may differ by country, device, membership status, dates, inventory, currency, and local taxes/fees. Always confirm the final price and terms on the provider’s website before booking.
Refunds, cancellations, and disputes
Booking disputes, cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, and customer service issues must be handled directly with the provider. We do not control third-party systems and cannot guarantee outcomes.
7) Privacy, Cookies, and Tracking
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, advertising measurement, affiliate attribution, and personalization (depending on your region, consent choices, and settings).
Consent and control
- Consent tools: where required, a cookie banner may allow you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.
- Browser/device: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; you can also use private browsing modes.
- Ad controls: many ad platforms offer interest-based ad controls in their own account settings.
Regional privacy frameworks (high-level)
Depending on where you live, privacy laws may grant rights such as access, deletion, correction, portability, and opt-out of certain processing (e.g., targeted advertising or “sale/sharing” of data as defined by law). We aim to honor applicable requirements, including those that evolve over time.
See: Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
8) Email, Messages, and Unsubscribe Rights
If you subscribe to our email list, we may send newsletters, updates, and occasional promotional content. We aim to provide clear unsubscribe options in each message and honor opt-out requests promptly.
Unsubscribe
You can unsubscribe using the link in the footer of our emails. If you have trouble, contact us and we will help.
9) Children’s Privacy
Eco Nomad Travel is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can address it.
10) Limitations, Liability, and Disputes
Content on this site is provided “as is” for informational purposes. We do not guarantee completeness, timeliness, or error-free content. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Eco Nomad Travel is not liable for losses, injuries, damages, or disputes arising from third-party products, services, bookings, or actions taken based on our content.
Travel risk
Travel involves inherent risks (weather, strikes, delays, health and safety conditions, local regulations). You are responsible for verifying advisories, entry rules, insurance coverage, and local requirements for your itinerary.

Some links may be affiliate; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
