When we plan or manage travel for you, this can include contact information, traveler information, travel preferences, reservation details, passport or government-identification information, payment-related information, and information needed to arrange requested travel services.

If we collect consumer health data subject to Washington’s My Health My Data Act, our handling of that information is also governed by our separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, which should be read together with this notice where applicable.

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In Short: Travel cannot be arranged without providing certain traveler information to the companies actually providing or supporting the requested services.

Depending on your trip, we may provide relevant personal information to:

Host agency and booking partners

Travel suppliers

These may include:

Cruise lines;
Hotels and resorts;
Tour operators;
Destination management companies;
Rail companies;
Ground-transportation companies;
Private guides;
Excursion and activity providers;

5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

In Short: Our website may use cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar technologies.

Some technologies are necessary for website operation, security, preferences, or basic functionality.

Others may help us understand:

How visitors use the website;
Which pages are most useful;
How visitors arrived at the website;
Whether website or marketing campaigns are effective; and
How we can improve website performance.

We may also use third-party analytics, social-media, or advertising technologies. When such technologies are enabled, their providers may receive information such as IP address, device information, browser information, pages viewed, and website interactions.

Some state privacy laws may define certain disclosures through advertising technologies as “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged for personal information.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of a covered activity, we will provide or honor the required method of exercising that choice.

Your browser may also allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies can affect some website functions.

6. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

In Short: Arranging international travel often requires information to be sent outside the United States.

When you ask us to arrange international travel, personal information may be transmitted to airlines, cruise lines, hotels, tour operators, transportation providers, government or border authorities, and other service providers located in other countries.

Those countries may have privacy laws different from those in the United States.

We provide information internationally when reasonably necessary to research, reserve, manage, or support travel requested by you or when required by the applicable travel provider or governmental authority.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or as required or permitted by law.

Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information.

We may retain information as necessary to:

Manage travel reservations and client relationships;
Maintain business and accounting records;
Meet tax, regulatory, supplier, insurance, or contractual requirements;
Document transactions and communications;
Resolve disputes;
Protect against fraud;
Enforce agreements; and
Establish or defend legal claims.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely archive it, subject to applicable legal and technical requirements.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information.

We maintain administrative, organizational, and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

However, no electronic transmission, online service, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, please use any secure form, portal, or transmission method we provide when sending passport information, payment information, or other highly sensitive personal information.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT MINORS?

In Short: Our travel-planning services are provided to adults, but travel arrangements may include children.

We do not knowingly market our services directly to children under 13 or knowingly solicit personal information directly from them through our website.

When a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized adult asks us to arrange travel for a minor, we may process information about that minor that is reasonably necessary to make or manage the requested travel arrangements.

10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

Those rights may include the ability to:

Confirm whether we process your personal information;
Request access to personal information;
Correct inaccurate information;
Request deletion of information;
Obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format;
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
Opt out of certain targeted advertising;
Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
Limit certain uses of sensitive information;
Obtain information about certain recipients of personal information; and
Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request where applicable law provides an appeal right.

These rights are not absolute. Applicable law may allow or require us to retain or continue processing certain information.

Email jess@jesspeterman.com with the subject line:

Privacy Request

Please do not include passport numbers, full payment-card details, medical information, or other highly sensitive information in your initial email.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your personal information before acting on a request.

Where applicable law permits an authorized agent to submit a request for you, we may require verification of the agent’s authority and your identity.

We will respond in accordance with applicable privacy law.

11. U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

In Short: Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights when the applicable state privacy law applies to Jess Peterman Travel or the particular processing activity.

California

California’s Online Privacy Protection Act requires certain disclosures concerning commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers.

This Privacy Notice describes:

The categories of personal information we collect;
How we use personal information;
Categories of parties with whom it may be shared;
How consumers may request review or correction;
How we communicate material changes to this notice;
Our online-tracking practices; and
The effective date of this notice.

If Jess Peterman Travel becomes subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act with respect to particular information, California consumers may exercise the additional rights provided under that law using the privacy-request method described above.

Jess Peterman Travel does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

Nevada

Nevada residents may submit a verified request directing an operator not to make a sale of covered information as “sale” is defined by applicable Nevada privacy law.

Jess Peterman Travel does not currently sell covered information for monetary consideration as defined by that law.

Nevada requests may be submitted to jess@jesspeterman.com with the subject line Nevada Privacy Request.

Residents of other states

Privacy laws in a growing number of states provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, sensitive information, targeted advertising, sale of personal information, profiling, or appeals.

Whether a particular state law applies depends on factors established by that law, which may include the consumer’s residence, the nature and volume of personal information processed, business size, revenue, and how information is used.

Where an applicable state privacy law provides you with rights, we will process an authenticated request in accordance with that law.

12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK AND PRIVACY PREFERENCE SIGNALS

Some browsers and devices allow users to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal.

Because there is not currently a single universally accepted standard governing legacy Do-Not-Track signals, our website may not respond to those signals.

Certain jurisdictions separately require covered businesses to recognize qualifying universal opt-out mechanisms or preference signals for activities such as targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information.

Where such a requirement applies to Jess Peterman Travel and the applicable processing activity, we will honor qualifying signals as required by law.

Third-party analytics, social-media, embedded-content, or advertising providers may collect information concerning online activity over time and across different websites when their technologies are present on our website.

13. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

If you subscribe to our newsletter or other marketing communications, we may use your contact information to send travel information, destination updates, hosted-trip announcements, offers, or other promotional communications.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time through the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending communications necessary to:

Respond to an inquiry;
Manage travel you have requested;
Provide reservation or payment information;
Communicate schedule or supplier changes;
Provide travel documents;
Address a service or safety issue; or
Administer an existing client relationship.

Submitting an inquiry to Jess Peterman Travel does not by itself require you to subscribe to ongoing promotional email.

14. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our website, proposals, itineraries, emails, or other communications may contain links to websites or services operated by travel suppliers or other third parties.

Third parties maintain their own privacy and security practices. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services we do not operate.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy notice when providing personal information directly to another company.

15. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE

In Short: We may update this Privacy Notice as our services, technology, or legal obligations change.

When this Privacy Notice is revised, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.

If a change is material or additional notice is required by law, we may provide additional notice through the website or another appropriate method.
