5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our Site, understand how it is used, and support analytics and marketing activities. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help the Site remember your actions and preferences.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function properly.

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by following the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us using the details in Section 15. Please note that you may still receive essential service‑related emails about bookings and important updates.
8. Payments and currency
We may allow users to pay for our tours and services using various methods, which may include Venmo, bank transfers, or other payment providers from time to time. When you make a payment, your payment information is processed by these third‑party providers, who may collect and process your personal and payment data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Venmo’s privacy policy is available at: https://venmo.com/legal/us-privacy-policy/.
We receive limited information from payment providers (such as your name, transaction amount, currency, date, and status) to confirm and manage your booking. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
Currency and banking costs
Because we work with suppliers in different countries, we may incur foreign exchange, banking, and card processing fees when converting your payments into the currencies needed to pay suppliers. Our prices generally include an allowance for typical currency conversion and international banking costs, and in rare cases of significant exchange‑rate movements, we may adjust the final amount payable as described in our Terms of Service. This section explains how we handle the financial side; it does not change what personal data we collect.
9. Advertising and remarketing
We may use online advertising and remarketing services (for example, Google Ads or similar platforms) to show ads about our Services on other websites or platforms, based on your past interactions with our Site.
These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites and to display more relevant ads. You can control personalized advertising via the settings of the relevant platform (e.g., Google, Facebook) and through industry opt‑out tools where available.
10. How we use personal information
We use personal information for the following purposes:
To provide, operate, and manage our tours and Services.
To create and manage bookings, process payments, and send confirmations or administrative information.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:
Contract: To take steps at your request before entering into a contract (such as responding to inquiries) and to perform our contract with you (for example, to provide your booked tour).

Legal and safety reasons: When required by law or in response to valid legal requests (such as subpoenas or court orders), or when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes unless you have given your consent or as otherwise permitted by law.
13. International transfers
Because we are based in the United States and work with suppliers and service providers in other countries, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. These countries may have different data protection laws than your country.
Where required by law, we take appropriate safeguards to protect personal information when it is transferred internationally, such as by using standard contractual clauses or relying on other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Provide our Services and manage bookings.
Comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
The specific retention period can vary based on the type of information and the applicable legal or business requirements. When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymize it, where feasible.
