Privacy Policy

This site is a small comparison guide for stargazing tours around Lake Tekapo and Mt John. It holds no accounts, takes no bookings, and never sees payment details. Once you click a tour, the live booking page and its operator apply their own policies to your details.

What We Do And Don't Collect

Very little. The guide is published as ordinary pages, so there is no login, no comment box, and no newsletter box waiting to take your email. If you write to us, your address is used only to answer that message and is never added to any list. Like nearly every website, the hosting may keep standard server logs noting things such as browser type and which pages were requested, with nothing tying them to you as a person.

Affiliate Links And Booking Pages

Tour links here are affiliate links. Click one and reserve a Dark Sky Project summit session or a Tekapo Springs hot-pool night, and the order, your card, and your contact details all go to the live booking page and its tour operator. Nothing of that reaches us. We never learn what you searched for or booked. Payment, confirmation, weather call-offs, and refunds are handled entirely where the booking is made.

Analytics And Cookies

The guide sets no advertising or tracking cookies of its own. Where a lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics tool runs, it counts aggregate visits only, such as which tour pages get read, so the comparisons can be sharpened over time. It builds no profiles of people. Any cookies placed by a booking page after you click away from here fall under that page's own policy, which is worth a read before you book.

Your Choices About Cookies

Every page here can be read without accepting anything or registering for anything. Most browsers also let you clear or block cookies at any point you choose. If you want to know how a stargazing comparison was put together, or you would like a message you sent deleted, use the address on the contact page and it will be handled. Anything about an existing booking, from a Crater Observatory session to a Pukaki night, belongs with the platform or operator that took it.
