DISCLAIMER

{ update March 2024 }

You are currently viewing the webshop of the website Yourlittleblackbook.me. By visiting this website, you agree to this disclaimer. Even if you visit Your Little Black Book regularly, it is a good idea to review this disclaimer again.

THE YOUR LITTLE BLACK BOOK BRAND

The Website

Your Little Black Book is online free to visit. (Almost) daily, new content is posted on topics selected by founder Anne de Buck and her team. Tips, articles, and lists about travel and lifestyle topics that we personally find interesting at this moment and therefore like to share with visitors. Your Little Black Book is compiled based on a certain taste and feel. The editorial team will never enter into a discussion about why something is or is not suitable in terms of content.

Social Media 
In addition to the blog, Your Little Black Book can be followed online for free via Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, WhatsApp, YouTube and Pinterest. Although Anne tries to personally respond to all DMs and messages received via these social media platforms, we primarily view these inboxes as a means to stay in closer contact with our followers and not as a communication channel for advertisers and brands. Simply because during busy times, no guarantee can be given that all messages will be read in a timely manner.

Webshop with E-BOOKS & Google Maps Lists 

Books in the field of travel and lifestyle
With great pleasure, Anne has also published various printed books in recent years. These books can be ordered online from, among others, Bol.com and are sold in concept stores and selected bookstores throughout the Netherlands. However, from 2024 onwards, the focus will be on digital products, and no new printed books will be published (for now).

 

COPYRIGHT OF TEXT AND IMAGES

Copyright rests on the content of Your Little Black Book. My books, the app, and the site content are written by Your Little Black Book and may not be reproduced, passed on to third parties, or published or shared via any medium, even with a link to the original content. If you infringe on this copyright, Your Little Black Book claims compensation for the damages it suffers as a result of the infringement, including, but not limited to, all actual legal and extrajudicial costs.

The photos in the content are taken by us, sourced from free stock photo websites, embedded via Instagram, or obtained royalty-free from the locations we write about. Because we know how annoying it is when images are used by third parties without permission, we do everything we can to prevent this on Your Little Black Book. Sometimes it happens that a location provides us with images for which they do not have the rights. In such a case, we will always rectify this if we are alerted to it. Therefore, in the redesign of Your Little Black Book, photo credits, including the corresponding reference to the source, are indicated more prominently.

Do you want to use a photo from Instagram and repost it? Then please contact us in advance to ask for permission.

COMPOSITION OF YOUR LITTLE BLACK BOOK

Despite the constant care and attention we devote to the compilation of Yourlittleblackbook.me and the data included therein, Yourlittleblackbook.me cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or continued timeliness of the data and the content of the site. It may happen that information is outdated (such as the closure or relocation of an address, or the change of a menu or opening hours). Therefore, always check other media such as Google Maps or the direct website before you go out for the most up-to-date information (and reviews). Yourlittleblackbook.me therefore accepts no liability for any direct or indirect damage, of whatever nature, arising from or in any way related to the use of the site or the (un)availability of the site as well as the associated social media channels, apps, and books.

Yourlittleblackbook.me cannot guarantee that the information on this site is suitable for the purpose for which you are consulting the information. Claims, experiences, and opinions expressed in articles and notices on the pages of this site are those of Yourlittleblackbook.me. These are personal opinions and experiences of the editorial team based on N=1 experiences. Yourlittleblackbook.me cannot be held responsible in any way for the content thereof and is not liable for any direct or indirect damage that may arise from the relevant statements.

Yourlittleblackbook.me is not affiliated with products, services, restaurants, hotels, travel, or any service of third parties mentioned on this site and does not guarantee the (change) in quality of the mentioned tips. With this in mind, users of this site are always advised to obtain independent information and/or conduct research before using information obtained via this site. A single exception to this is the product Le Foodwalk Amsterdam in the form of self-guided digital walking routes along eateries in various neighborhoods of the city.

The address tips are selected with great care and (almost always) personally tested, yet it may happen that you have had a different experience than we have. Simply because the hospitality world is run by people and consists of snapshots over which we unfortunately have no influence. If the editorial team of Your Little Black Book no longer stands behind the quality of a tip, it reserves the right to make any changes with immediate effect and without any notice. The information on the site, in the app, and in the books is regularly updated or revised in a new edition.

(AFFILIATE) LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

On this site, you will find links to other websites. It may be that these are affiliate links. This means that Your Little Black Book receives a kickback fee if you book the recommended hotel or, for example, buy the product mentioned or reviewed in the blog.

Yourlittleblackbook.me is not liable for the content of those sites and/or the way those sites handle your (personal) data. For this, read the privacy policy, disclaimer, copyright notice, and general terms and conditions – if present – of the site you visit.

From the money earned with this, Your Little Black Book pays the costs incurred for the free provision and maintenance of the website, such as: hosting costs, software packages and licenses, plugins, purchase of fonts, and web development. By placing affiliate links in relevant content, Your Little Black Book is less dependent on banners and advertorials from advertisers to cover the costs associated with Your Little Black Book. These costs also include, for example, the costs I incur for creating the travel and city guides.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE COLLABORATIONS

Your Little Black Book tries to be as transparent as possible about collaborations. For example, advertorials are always recognizable by the sentence under my signature: “In collaboration with <advertiser name>”. On Instagram, collaborations are recognizable by the hashtag #yourlbbcollab. In addition, you can look out for hashtags such as: #prgifted #invited #persreis #ambassador or #gekregen to indicate that there is a collaboration, even if no monetary compensation is paid for it.

By working with advertisers, offering our own products such as (e)books, and developing affiliate collaborations, it is our dream to continue making Your Little Black Book for you for a very long time as a self-employed entrepreneur and completely independent.

Anne is grateful every day for the almost 2.5 million unique visitors who read Your Little Black Book and make use of the personal tips every year. To make the website function as well as possible, cookies are used. If you want to know more about the privacy policy of Your Little Black Book, you can read it here.

In addition, Anne has drafted a Green Policy. In it, she explains in detail why she will not give up her greatest passion despite it polluting the environment.
