3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
Classic Escapes does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own promotional purposes.
Because we arrange travel throughout the world, however, we must share certain traveler information with third parties in order to provide the travel services you request.
Travel Suppliers and Service Providers
We may provide necessary personal information to airlines, hotels, lodges, cruise lines, ground transportation companies, destination management companies, tour guides, activity providers, restaurants, insurance providers, visa or entry-service providers, and other suppliers involved in arranging or operating your trip.
We share only the information reasonably necessary for the applicable supplier to provide its services. Depending upon the destination and service, these suppliers may be located outside the United States.
Once personal information is provided to an independent travel supplier, that supplier’s handling of the information may also be subject to its own privacy practices and applicable local laws.
Business and Technology Service Providers
We may share information with companies that perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, website hosting, data storage, email delivery, analytics, customer service, technology support, marketing, accounting, legal, and other professional services.
These providers are permitted to access personal information as reasonably necessary to perform services for us.
Organizations and Travel Partners
Where your travel is arranged in connection with a zoo, museum, alumni association, conservation organization, educational institution, travel advisor, corporate group, or other sponsoring or partnering organization, we may share information with that organization as reasonably necessary to administer the travel program or relationship.
Legal and Safety Requirements
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, governmental requests, court orders, or legal processes
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Classic Escapes, our travelers, our employees, or others
• Prevent or investigate fraud, security concerns, illegal activity, or violations of our policies
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
Business Transfers
If Classic Escapes is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
4. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Our website may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance, and improve our Services.
Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies or notify you when cookies are being used. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of our website.
Third-party analytics and technology providers may also collect information through our website in accordance with their own privacy policies.
5. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS AND YOUR CHOICES
We may use your contact information to send you information about Classic Escapes destinations, programs, products, services, special offers, and other travel opportunities that we believe may be of interest to you.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us at info@classicescapes.com.
Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may continue to send transactional or service-related communications necessary to administer an inquiry, reservation, or trip.
6. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide our Services, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, or other requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely retain it in accordance with our record-retention practices and applicable law.
7. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Access to personal information is limited to employees, contractors, and service providers who reasonably require the information to perform their responsibilities.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.
8. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Classic Escapes provides travel services to families and groups that may include travelers under the age of 18. When information about a minor is necessary to arrange or operate travel, we generally obtain that information from the minor’s parent or legal guardian, or from another adult authorized to make travel arrangements on the minor’s behalf.
Such information may include the minor’s name, date of birth, passport information, dietary requirements, medical or accessibility information, and other information reasonably necessary to facilitate the minor’s travel.
Our website and Services are not directed toward children for the purpose of independently collecting personal information from them. We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us at info@classicescapes.com.
9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION
Classic Escapes is based in the United States and arranges travel services throughout the world.
When you travel internationally or request international travel arrangements, your personal information may need to be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries whose privacy and data-protection laws may differ from those in the United States or your home jurisdiction.
These transfers may be necessary to arrange and provide the travel services you request, including reservations, transportation, accommodations, guiding, activities, and other destination services.
10. PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you reside, applicable privacy laws may provide you with certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to:

Depending upon the circumstances, our processing of personal information may be based upon performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate business interests, or your consent.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable data-protection supervisory authority.
