Privacy Policy

At Vacays by the C, I take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal and financial information when you use my services, visit my website, or interact with my advertisements.

1. Information I Collect

To provide you with luxury cruise vacation curation and tailored travel itineraries, I collect the following types of information:

Personal Contact Details: Your name, email address, phone number.

Travel Preferences: Destination interests, dietary requirements, accessibility needs, and specific travel criteria.

Financial and Payment Information: When booking travel through me, I securely collect payment card details (credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, billing addresses, and security codes).

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information I collect to:

Create custom travel itineraries and holiday proposals.

Securely facilitate and complete your travel bookings.

Communicate with you regarding your itinerary, updates, and customer service.

Send you relevant travel updates, newsletters, and marketing materials (where you have consented to receive them).

3. How I Share Your Information (Merchant of Record Disclosure)

I are a human-centric, personalized travel consultancy. I do not sell, rent, or lease your personal or financial data to third-party marketing companies.

However, to finalize your holiday reservations, your data must be shared with my trusted travel partners:

Travel Suppliers: I transmit your personal details and travel preferences to cruise lines (such as Virgin Voyages), hotels, tour operators, and insurance providers to secure your bookings.

Merchant of Record Processing: Where a travel supplier acts as the Merchant of Record (MOR), your payment details are securely passed directly to that specific supplier to process your transaction. I do not permanently store or retain your sensitive financial data or card numbers on my systems once your transaction has been officially authorized and completed by the supplier.

4. Data Security

I implement strict administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal and financial data. Financial information is collected exclusively via secure phone consultations or secure, industry-compliant CRM software, and is never gathered via unencrypted web forms.

5. Your Rights

Under UK data protection laws, you have the right to look at the personal data I hold about you, request corrections, or ask me to delete your personal information from my active databases at any time.

For any privacy-related inquiries, data requests, or to opt out of future marketing communications, please contact me directly:
