Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 16th, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Michelle Allen ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website.

Information I Collect
When you use the contact form on this site, I collect the information you voluntarily provide, which may include your name, email address, institution, and the contents of your message. If you choose to sign up for news and updates, I also collect your email address for that purpose.

This site is hosted on Squarespace, which automatically collects certain technical information from visitors, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general usage data, in order to operate and improve the site.

How I Use Your Information
Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry, whether related to speaking engagements, research collaboration, media requests, or general questions. If you sign up for updates, your email is used to send occasional news related to my work. I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services
This site may use third-party tools, including Squarespace's built-in analytics and Google Fonts, which may process limited technical data as part of their standard operation. Purchase links for publications lead to third-party retailers (such as Routledge and CABI), whose own privacy policies govern any transaction made on their sites.

Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To make such a request, please contact me at michelle.allen.tourism@gmail.com.

Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
