Mooch

Privacy.

What Mooch collects, why, who else handles it, and how to get it changed or deleted.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Adherence Digital Ltd (company number 08847581), which runs Mooch Travel. For anything about your data, email hello@moochtravel.com.

Browsing the site

You can read all of Mooch without giving any personal details. There are no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party analytics.

  • Clicks to operators.When you follow a link to an operator, Mooch records which listing was clicked, when, your browser type and the country your connection comes from. It doesn't record your IP address with the click, and it isn't linked to you. It's used to count how many readers each listing sends to the operator.
  • Compare list. Trips you add to compare are kept in your own browser (local storage), not sent to Mooch. Clearing your browser data removes them.
  • Hosting. The site runs on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks.

When you give us details

  • Newsletter. Your email address and the page you signed up on go to Klaviyo, which sends the newsletter. You confirm by email before anything is sent, and every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. Legal basis: your consent.
  • Contact form. Your name, email, topic and message are stored so they can be answered, with your IP address and browser type to deal with abuse. Legal basis: legitimate interests (replying to you).
  • Accounts and saved trips. If you sign in, Mooch keeps your email address, the trips you save, and a record of each sign-in (time, IP address and browser type) for security. Sign-in links are sent by email through Resend. Legal basis: providing the account you asked for.
  • Shared shortlists. If you save a shortlist with a name or email address, those are stored with it.
  • Operators. If you claim a listing or are invited to an operator dashboard, your name, email, phone (if given), company details and a record of your edits are kept to verify you and run the dashboard. Legal basis: the contract with your company and legitimate interests.

The newsletter and sign-in forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check you're not a bot. Mooch doesn't sell personal data or share it with operators, and doesn't use it for advertising.

Cookies

Mooch sets one cookie, mooch_session, and only when you sign in. It keeps you signed in for up to 30 days and is strictly necessary for the account to work, so there is no cookie banner. Cloudflare may set its own security cookies to block bots. If affiliate links are added in future, the operator's affiliate network may set a cookie on the operator's site after you click through to it; those links are labelled.

Who else handles your data

  • Cloudflare: hosting, database, bot protection.
  • Resend: sign-in and account emails.
  • Klaviyo: the newsletter.

Some of these companies process data outside the UK, including in the US. Where they do, they rely on the UK's approved safeguards for international transfers.

How long it's kept

Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages and operator records are kept while they're needed and deleted on request. Account data is kept until you ask for the account to be deleted. Sign-in sessions expire after 30 days.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data Mooch holds about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, or withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@moochtravel.comand you'll get a reply within a month. If you're unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
