X-China is mostly a static guide. Some checklist progress may stay in your browser, hosting/security systems process technical logs, and advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies where ads are enabled.
Checklist progress and small preferences may be saved in your own browser so the site feels usable across visits.
Cloudflare and similar hosting/security services may process technical request data to deliver, cache, and protect the site.
X-China may display Google AdSense ads. Google and partners may use cookies or similar technologies subject to law and consent choices.
Information we collect
X-China is a static informational website. Some tools store checklist progress locally in your browser using localStorage. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.
Server and analytics data
Hosting providers such as Cloudflare may process standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, requested URLs, and security logs to deliver and protect the site.
Contact email
If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send and may use it to respond, correct content, or improve the site.
Advertising and cookies
X-China may display advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve, limit, personalize, and measure advertising, subject to applicable law and your consent choices.
Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google's partner sites policy. You can review or change ad personalization choices in Google Ad Settings.
Your choices
Where required, visitors will be shown consent choices before personalized advertising technologies are used. You can also limit cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect some site or advertising features.
Data retention and deletion
Local checklist data can be cleared in your own browser. Email messages may be retained as long as needed to answer, verify corrections, protect the site, or maintain a practical record of source issues.
Children
X-China is written for adult travelers and planners. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Contact
Privacy questions can be sent to hello@x-china.com.
Advertising choices
Advertising may be shown through Google AdSense after approval. Depending on location and browser settings, Google or advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention, personalization, and measurement. Visitors can manage browser cookies and, where shown, consent choices.
Email and correction records
Emails sent to X-China may be kept long enough to answer the request, verify a correction, protect the site, or maintain a practical record of source-sensitive changes. Public updates remove personal details unless the sender explicitly asks otherwise and it is appropriate to include them.
Static-site limits
X-China does not run user accounts on the public site. Checklist or theme preferences may live in the visitor's browser, while hosting, security, analytics, and advertising systems may process technical logs according to their own retention and security practices.
Third-party links
Some pages link to official sources, service providers, booking sites, payment companies, maps, transport operators, or other third-party websites. Those sites may collect data according to their own policies when you open them. X-China uses external links because they help readers verify or complete a task, not because they replace reader judgment.
Children and sensitive data
X-China is written for general travel planning and does not ask visitors to create accounts or submit children's personal information. Do not send sensitive medical, passport, banking, or family data in correction emails.
Privacy in practical terms
X-China is built as a static guide site. The editorial content does not require visitors to create an account, post personal travel details, or submit itinerary data to read the guides. Contact emails are used to respond to corrections or questions, not to create a public profile.
Third-party services such as analytics, hosting, advertising, or browser security tools may process technical signals according to their own policies. Readers who want to minimize sharing can use browser controls, private browsing, cookie settings, and direct email without adding unnecessary personal details.
Minimizing personal details
When contacting X-China, readers should share only the details needed to explain the correction. A page URL, city, date, source, and short description are usually enough. Do not send passport numbers, full booking references, payment credentials, medical records, or private account screenshots unless they are redacted.
This keeps the correction process practical and safer for readers. The site can improve guidance from patterns and public evidence without collecting more personal information than needed.
