We require our service providers to protect personal information and limit use to delivering contracted services. Some third parties may be located outside the United States; see “International Transfers” below.

Cookies, Tracking & Advertising We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate our Services, analyze usage, and provide relevant content and advertising. Types of cookies and purposes include:

  • Strictly necessary: required for site functionality and secure logins.

  • Performance & analytics: measure site usage and performance (e.g., Google Analytics).

  • Functionality: remember preferences and personalize content.

  • Advertising & targeting: deliver relevant ads and measure ad effectiveness.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings and opt-out tools. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality or your experience.

Data Security We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Security measures include access controls, encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, secure payment processing, monitoring, and staff training.

No security system is perfect. We cannot guarantee absolute security. If a security incident affecting your data occurs, we will take appropriate steps, including notification, as required by law.

Data Retention We retain personal information as long as necessary to provide Services, fulfill contractual and legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes. Retention periods vary by data type and legal requirements. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify personal information in a secure manner.

We may require verification of identity before fulfilling requests and may limit or deny requests as permitted by law (e.g., to preserve records required by tax or safety laws).

Marketing Communications We may send promotions and marketing messages if you opt-in or where permitted by law. You may opt out at any time by following unsubscribe instructions in emails, replying STOP for SMS, or updating your account preferences. Even if you opt out, we may send transactional messages about bookings, payments, and account activity.

Children’s Privacy Our Services are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without parental consent. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

International Transfers We may transfer and store personal information on servers and with service providers located in the United States and other countries. When transferring data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses, vendor assessments) as required by applicable law. By using our Services, you consent to such transfers.

Third-Party Services & Links Our Services may contain links or integrations with third-party sites, apps, and plugins (e.g., social networks, payment platforms). These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Payments & Payment Processors We use third-party payment processors to securely handle payment transactions. These processors collect and store payment information and have their own privacy, security, and compliance obligations. We do not control their processing; please review their policies.

Analytics & Aggregated Data We may aggregate and anonymize personal data for analytics, benchmarking, and product improvement. Aggregated or de-identified data is not considered personal information and may be used for any lawful purpose.

Legal Requests & Safety We may disclose information in response to lawful requests by public authorities (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), or to protect our rights, safety, property, or the safety of others. We may also disclose information to prevent fraud or imminent harm.

Business Transfers If our business is sold, merged, or reorganized, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users where required by law.
