01 · Purpose

How We Use Data

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, manage booking requests, confirm availability, collect and record dietary or route preferences, arrange meeting details, process payments, deliver guided experiences, maintain service records, improve website performance, and meet legal, accounting, and security obligations.

Processing is limited to operational, contractual, and compliance purposes.
02 · Sharing

Service Partners

We may disclose personal data to payment processors, website hosting and technical support providers, communication tools, and other operational partners that assist with booking administration, payment handling, website maintenance, or service delivery. These parties are expected to process data only for the purposes we specify and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Service providers receive only the data needed to perform their assigned functions.

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.

Available rights depend on the legal basis and the nature of the processing.

To exercise a privacy right, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant data and understand the request. We may ask for additional details where needed to verify identity, protect the rights of others, or determine whether an exception applies.

Requests are reviewed using reasonable steps to confirm identity and scope.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to manage inquiries, bookings, payments, service delivery, dispute handling, and legal compliance. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods are tied to the purpose of collection and applicable legal requirements.

The updated version will apply from the date stated in the revised notice. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to draw attention to them through the website or other suitable communication channels.

We may revise this policy when our practices, legal duties, or service structure change.
