Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

AiA Waves is a trade name of Lalizé, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 77712544. Our registered address is Kleijnstraat 90, 3026 VV Rotterdam, The Netherlands. AiA Waves operates the website aiawaves.com and the associated YouTube and Instagram channels. For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at founder@aiawaves.com.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect limited personal data, only what is necessary to operate this website and communicate with you:

• Newsletter sign-ups: your email address, submitted voluntarily via our newsletter form.
• Contact requests: your name and email address when you contact us directly.
• Basic, anonymised analytics about how visitors use this website (pages viewed, general location, device type).

We do not collect payment information. All hotel bookings are completed directly on our partners' websites (such as Booking.com), which have their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to send our newsletter (if you've subscribed), respond to your enquiries, and understand how our website is used so we can improve it. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links to Booking.com and other travel partners. If you book through these links, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Clicking these links may result in cookies being set by our partners; we do not control these third-party cookies.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

AiA Waves uses three categories of cookies and local storage. Functional cookies are always active and cannot be disabled. Analytics and Affiliate cookies are only set if you give consent via our cookie banner, which you can change at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer.

Functional (always active)

• aiaLang — stores your chosen language (e.g. "en", "nl"). Functional only.
• aiaFlag — stores the flag icon matching your language. Functional only.
• aiaCookieConsent — stores whether you accepted, declined, or customised your cookie preferences.

Analytics (only with your consent)

• Google Analytics — helps us understand how visitors use our website (pages viewed, general location, device type). Data is anonymised. Only loaded if you accept the "Analytics" category.

Affiliate (only with your consent)

• CJ Affiliate / Booking.com — tracks bookings made via our affiliate links so we can earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Only loaded if you accept the "Affiliate" category.

Third-party links (such as Booking.com) may set their own cookies when you click through, independently of your consent choices here. We do not control these. You can change your cookie preferences at any time, or clear local storage via your browser settings.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent (such as unsubscribing from our newsletter) at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at founder@aiawaves.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
