Privacy Policy

Data protection standards, handling practices, and third-party transparency.

1. General Overview

Vietnam Visa Guide operates exclusively as an independent, non-commercial informational resource. Our goal is to provide clear, updated, and accessible educational material regarding entry procedures, visa requirements, and travel policies for Vietnam. We do not act as a agency, intermediary, or representative of any government body.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Because we operate purely as a reader-supported informational database, we enforce a strict policy against collecting sensitive user data. Specifically, we do NOT collect, request, or store:

  • Personal Identification: Names, passport numbers, dates of birth, or national IDs.
  • Application Documentation: Digital photo uploads, visa application files, or itinerary details.
  • Financial Information: Credit card details, bank account numbers, or transaction histories.
  • Account Credentials: User accounts, passwords, or personal profile registrations.

3. Technical Data & Log Files

Like most standard websites, our hosting servers automatically record non-identifying technical logs to maintain server health and operational security. This technical data may include:

  • Anonymized Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Browser type, language, and operating system
  • Referral URLs, timestamps, and page request routes

This technical log information is used solely for system administration, identifying software bugs, and preventing server abuse. It is never linked to individual user profiles.

4. Cookies and Web Analytics

We prioritize a lightweight browsing experience with minimal reliance on tracking scripts:

  • Essential Cookies: Temporary technical cookies may be used to remember basic site functions (such as mobile menu interactions).
  • Analytics: Aggregate, anonymized usage metrics may be analyzed to understand overall visitor trends and popular topics.

You can adjust your web browser settings to reject or delete cookies at any time without restricting your access to the information provided on this portal.

5. Third-Party Links & External Portals

To assist travelers, our articles contain direct outbound links to official government domains (e.g., xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn), embassies, and official transport services.

  • We exercise no control over external websites, their content, or their security protocols.
  • Navigating to external links subjects you to the respective privacy policies of those external domains.
  • We strongly encourage users to review the privacy notices of any official website prior to submitting application data or payment details.

6. Data Security

Our website utilizes industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption to protect your connection while browsing our pages. Because we do not accept payments or store personal information, the risk of personal data exposure on our site is minimized by design.

7. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy as needed to reflect changes in web standards or portal features. Any updates will be posted directly to this page along with an updated revision date.
