yiranding.com is the personal photography and travel website of Yiran Ding (丁亦然). This page explains how information is handled when you browse, contact me or use linked services, and the conditions for using website content. For privacy enquiries, email hello@yiranding.com.
Information and its use
When you browse, hosting, content delivery and security services may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, request time and page paths. This supports page delivery, troubleshooting and service security.
If you contact me by email or through a social platform, the name, contact details and message you choose to provide are used to respond, discuss a collaboration or handle your request. Please share only information relevant to your enquiry.
Browser storage
The website uses local storage to remember your language and session storage to retain some travel guide selections, filters and map views. These preferences remain in your browser and can be cleared through its settings. Clearing or disabling storage may reset your choices.
The website currently has no integrated advertising trackers or visitor behaviour analytics scripts. These browser preferences are separate from cookies or technical records that hosting providers or external services may use.
External services and tour enquiries
Tour enquiry forms and some itinerary documents are provided on external services such as Feishu. That platform receives the information you choose to submit and may also process technical information when its page is opened. Please review its privacy notice and the details on the enquiry page. This website itself does not provide account registration or online payments.
Social links open the relevant platform, while WeChat QR codes are displayed as locally hosted images. Information handling after you visit a platform or scan a code is subject to that platform’s policies.
Weather and aurora tools in the travel guide request public data from MET Norway and NOAA. Loading these tools sends those providers the technical information needed for a network request, such as your IP address. External providers may operate outside your country and handle information under their own policies.
Retention and security
Correspondence is retained as needed to handle enquiries and collaborations and meet applicable legal obligations. Service providers used to operate the website may retain technical records under their own settings and policies.
I take measures appropriate to the purpose of the information to protect correspondence, but no transmission or storage method can guarantee complete security. Please do not send unnecessary identity documents, payment details or other sensitive information by ordinary email.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and, where applicable, receive a copy of your data or withdraw consent. Send requests to hello@yiranding.com. Identity verification may be needed before a request is handled. You may also contact your local data protection authority if you believe processing infringes applicable law.
Content and use of the website
Unless a different credit or licence is stated, original photographs, videos and writing on this website belong to Yiran Ding. Viewing the website or sharing a page link does not grant a content licence. Please obtain permission before republication, commercial use, modification or any use beyond that allowed by applicable law. Credited materials and brand marks remain the property of their respective rights holders.
Travel information and bookings
Travel guides, weather and aurora data are provided for reference and may change, be delayed or need updating. Check current official weather, road and safety information before travelling.
Tour pages present itineraries and enquiry information. Availability, prices, included services, cancellation and refund conditions are governed by the specific terms clearly provided and confirmed during booking. Browsing the website or following an enquiry link does not by itself confirm a reservation.
Updates and contact
This page will be updated when website features or information handling change, with the revision date shown above. For questions about this page, personal information or permission to use a work, contact Yiran Ding at hello@yiranding.com.
