Privacy Policy for Vacation Vibes

1. Introduction

Vacation Vibes Travel and Tourism LLC (“Vacation Vibes”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when you visit our website, use our online tools, request quotations, make inquiries, or purchase or arrange travel-related services through us. By using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read this notice.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Identity and contact details: full name, email address, and phone number.
• Nationality or country of residence where relevant to itineraries, pricing, or regulatory requirements.
• Travel details: preferred dates, travel preferences, destination selections, and special requests.
• Passport, visa, or identity-related details only where necessary to support visa applications, booking confirmations, or supplier requirements.
• Billing and payment-related information required to process transactions. Card payments are typically processed by secure third-party payment providers; we do not store full payment card numbers on our own systems.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and approximate location derived from IP where available.
• Usage data: pages viewed, referral sources, and interactions with our website (subject to your cookie choices).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data for purposes such as:

• Responding to inquiries and providing customer support.
• Preparing quotations and proposals.
• Arranging and administering bookings for travel arrangements, tour packages, flights, accommodation, transport, and related services.
• Customising itineraries and coordinating with suppliers.
• Assisting with visa documentation support where we offer such services.
• Communicating with you about your booking, service updates, and important notices.
• Processing payments and managing accounts receivable.
• Improving our website, services, and user experience, including analytics where permitted.
• Complying with legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations.
• Preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Sending marketing communications only where permitted by law or where you have opted in (you may withdraw consent for marketing at any time).

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Contractual necessity — to perform our agreement with you and provide requested travel services.
• Consent — where we ask for your consent (for example, certain cookies or marketing), which you may withdraw.
• Legal obligations — to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or law enforcement requests.
• Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our business, secure our systems, and understand how our services are used, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with third parties only as needed to deliver our services or to meet legal or operational requirements, including:

• Airlines, hotels, ground transport operators, and tour partners.
• Embassies, consulates, or government authorities where required for visa or travel formalities.
• Payment processors and banking partners.
• IT, hosting, email, and communication service providers.
• Analytics or advertising platforms where you have consented to the relevant cookies or tools.
• Professional advisers (such as auditors or lawyers) where required.

We require service providers to use personal data only for the purposes we specify and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

6. International Data Transfers

Travel services are inherently international. Your information may be transferred to countries where your travel suppliers, partners, or technology providers operate. Where required by law, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as contractual clauses or recognised adequacy decisions) to protect your data when it is processed outside your country of residence.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

• Fulfilling bookings and after-travel support.
• Meeting legal, accounting, and tax record-keeping requirements.
• Handling disputes, chargebacks, or insurance-related claims.
• Limited operational and analytical purposes, where permitted.

When retention is no longer required, we delete or anonymise data in line with our internal policies.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, preferences, analytics, and—where you consent—marketing. See our Cookie Policy for details and how to manage preferences. You can also control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Third-Party Services

Our website and services may link to or integrate with third-party platforms (for example airlines, hotels, payment gateways, or analytics providers). Those parties have their own privacy notices and terms. We encourage you to read them when you use their services.

12. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
