Introducing Our Policies
Curiosity should lead to discovery, not uncertainty about how a website treats its readers. The Wonder Atlas publishes clear policies so you can explore remarkable places with a better understanding of how we handle information and create our stories.
From ancient landmarks and living cultural traditions to extraordinary landscapes, every subject deserves care. Our policies explain our approach to privacy, cookies, sourcing, corrections, and the use of photography and written material. They also set expectations for respectful participation.
We aim to be transparent about our practices and accountable when something needs improvement. These guidelines help build trust with readers, honor the people and places we feature, and make worldwide discovery more thoughtful for everyone.

Our Policies and Accessibility
The Wonder Atlas is committed to making stories about the world’s natural, historic, cultural, and architectural wonders accessible to as many readers as possible. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as we improve our pages, images, navigation, and interactive features. That work includes clearer headings, descriptive image alternatives, readable contrast, keyboard-friendly controls, and content that works with assistive technology. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and some older pages or third-party features may not yet meet our goals.

Help Us Find and Fix Barriers
If a page, photograph, link, or feature prevents you from exploring The Wonder Atlas, please tell us what happened. Include the page URL, a brief description of the difficulty, and, if you’re comfortable sharing them, the device and assistive technology you used. We’ll review your report, work toward a practical fix, and offer the information in another format when feasible. Your feedback helps make every journey through the site easier to navigate.

What personal information and cookies might the site use, and what choices do I have?
Information you choose to send us—such as your name, email address, and the contents of a policy question, correction notice, or accessibility report—is used to understand and respond to your request. We may also use cookies or similar technologies that help the website function, remember preferences, measure how articles are used, or support embedded content. The categories and controls available to you should be explained in our privacy and cookie policies and, where provided, in the site’s consent controls. You can adjust browser settings to limit or clear cookies, though blocking essential storage may affect some features. You may contact us to ask about information associated with your communications or to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable law provides those rights. Please avoid sending sensitive personal details unless they are necessary for your request; we will not ask for payment information to process a privacy inquiry.
Do these policies apply when I browse The Wonder Atlas or follow an external link?
Our policies describe how The Wonder Atlas handles your experience on our own website, including articles, photographs, search tools, and other features we operate. You can usually browse stories about landmarks, landscapes, and cultural sites without creating an account or giving us your name. Standard technical information, such as a browser type, approximate location inferred from an IP address, and pages visited, may still be processed to deliver and maintain the site. If you select a link to a booking service, map, social platform, video host, or another outside website, that service’s own policies govern what happens there. We encourage you to read them before submitting details or making a purchase. Mentions of destinations and external resources are intended to inform and inspire, not to guarantee that third-party information, availability, or practices remain unchanged.
Can I reuse articles or images, and how do I report an inaccuracy?
Our stories are written to help you discover and appreciate places around the world, but being available to read does not make their text, photographs, illustrations, or design free to republish. You are welcome to share a link to an article and quote a short excerpt with clear credit where permitted by applicable law. For broader reuse, translations, commercial projects, or image licensing, ask for permission first; some visuals may belong to third-party creators and require their separate approval. Please do not remove credits or imply that The Wonder Atlas endorses your project. We also want destination details, historical context, and cultural descriptions to be as accurate and respectful as possible. If you notice an error or outdated information, send the page URL, the passage in question, and a reliable source or firsthand context if available. Our editors will review the notice and make a correction or clarification when warranted; reporting an issue does not guarantee a particular editorial outcome.
What if I encounter an accessibility barrier or need help understanding a policy?
We aim to make The Wonder Atlas usable across devices and with assistive technologies, working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA as an ongoing goal rather than claiming every page is already fully compliant. Our improvements include meaningful page structure, descriptive image text, keyboard navigation, and readable presentation. If you cannot access an article, operate a control, read a caption, or understand a policy because of its format, contact us with the page URL and a description of the problem. Sharing your browser or assistive technology can help us investigate, but it is optional. We will review the barrier and, when feasible, provide the relevant information another way while we work on a fix. You can also ask how a policy applies to your own browsing or privacy request. Please tell us which policy or page you mean so we can give you a useful, specific reply.
Questions or Feedback About Our Policies?
Contact The Wonder Atlas about privacy requests, content corrections, accessibility barriers, or any policy you’d like clarified. Include a relevant page link and enough detail for us to investigate; please avoid sharing sensitive information you don’t need to provide.
