Welcome to madeus.org. This website is owned and operated by Jan Madeus. I take transparency and integrity seriously, and I want to be clear about how I create content, earn income, and handle your data.
1. Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content (FTC Compliance)
Some posts on this website may contain affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products, services, or experiences that I have personally used or genuinely believe in.
Occasionally, I collaborate with brands, tourism boards, or travel companies. Any sponsored content, gifted services, or paid partnerships will be clearly disclosed in the respective article. These collaborations do not influence my editorial opinions.
2. Product and Experience Reviews
All reviews and opinions expressed on this blog are my own. I do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage. If a trip, accommodation, or product has been gifted or discounted, this will be disclosed in the article.
3. Data Protection & Cookies (GDPR Compliance)
This website may collect limited personal data such as name or email address (e.g. when you leave a comment or subscribe to updates). All data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We also use cookies to improve website functionality and analyze traffic. You will be notified of this upon your first visit and given a chance to opt in or manage preferences. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
