01. Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you submit a booking inquiry, tailor-made request, or newsletter signup. This includes:
- Contact details: name, email, phone number, country of residence
- Trip details: travel dates, destinations, group size, budget, comfort level, special requests
- Communication content: messages you send us through forms or email
We also automatically collect limited technical data when you visit the site — including IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and pages viewed. This is used for analytics and site security.
02. How We Use Your Information
We use your information strictly for these purposes:
- To respond to your inquiry and connect you with the relevant tour operator
- To send you quotes, booking confirmations, and trip-related updates
- To send our newsletter if you have opted in
- To improve the site, fix bugs, and prevent fraud or abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for unrelated advertising.
03. Information Sharing
When you submit an inquiry through our platform, we share your details with the specific tour operator who can best serve your request. This is essential to the service — the operator needs your name, email, and trip details to send you a quote.
We also share limited information with these service providers:
- Supabase — database and authentication provider (data stored on encrypted servers)
- Cloudinary — image hosting and delivery
- Email service providers — to send transactional and marketing emails
- Analytics providers — to understand how visitors use the site
All service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may only process your data on our instructions.
04. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your preferences and form inputs
- Measure site traffic and understand user behaviour
- Improve performance and security
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from browsing packages.
05. Data Retention
We retain inquiry and booking data for up to 3 years after your last interaction, to comply with legal obligations and to resolve disputes. Newsletter subscribers' emails are retained until you unsubscribe.
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us (see Section 10).
06. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data, including:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the site
- Row-level security on all database tables
- Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
- Regular monitoring for suspicious activity
However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we take the risk seriously and act quickly if we detect any issue.
07. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you

08. International Data Transfers
Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country of residence, including in the United States and the European Union. By using our site, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. We take steps to ensure adequate protection is in place for any such transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy
