Privacy Policy
The short version: we collect almost nothing, we use privacy-first analytics, and we never sell your data.

Who we are
medellindigitalnomad.com ("we", "us") is part of the Scout Theory network of websites. This policy explains what information this site collects and how it's used. Questions about this policy can be sent via our contact page.
What we collect
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track you across websites or devices. It gives us aggregate numbers — page views, referral sources, country-level location — and nothing that identifies you individually.
Email address
If you subscribe to our newsletter or use the contact form, we collect the email address (and, for the contact form, the name and message) you provide. We use it only to send the newsletter you asked for or to reply to your message. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
Interactive tools
Answers you enter into the Visa Wizard, Neighborhood Explorer, and Cost of Living Calculator are processed in your browser. We don't store your individual answers on our servers.
Local storage
The site uses your browser's local and session storage for small preferences — for example, remembering that you dismissed a banner. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- We don't run third-party advertising trackers.
- We don't use tracking cookies.
Affiliate and outbound links
Some links on this site are affiliate or referral links, and some point to other Scout Theory network sites or to the Medellín Fixer concierge service. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Once you leave this site, the destination site's own privacy policy applies.
Data retention and your rights
We keep newsletter emails until you unsubscribe and contact messages for as long as needed to handle your inquiry. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time via the contact page, and we'll honor the request as required by applicable law.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
