Inspired at Sea Privacy Policy  

This Privacy Policy explains how Inspired at Sea, in partnership with Soulful Journeys Travel (“we”, “us” or “our”), collects, uses and protects personal information from users (“Users”) of this website (the “Site”) and from people who contact us about the Waves of Inspiration Eclipse Writer’s Cruise. By using the Site or getting in touch with us, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We collect and process personal information only where we have a lawful reason to do so. This may include providing information you have requested, preparing or managing a booking, complying with legal and regulatory obligations, and running and improving the Site and our services. In some cases, we may also rely on your consent (for example, for certain marketing or the use of non-essential cookies).

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and use it to help you make informed decisions about how you share information with us.

We collect two main types of information from Users:

Non-personal information
This is information that does not directly identify you. It may include technical details such as your browser type, device type, operating system, language settings, pages viewed, access times and general usage patterns on the Site. We use this to understand how the Site is used and to improve performance and user experience.

Personal information
This is information that identifies you, or can be used to identify you with reasonable effort. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

• Your name and contact details (such as email address and telephone number) when you send an enquiry or request booking information.
• Information you provide in connection with a potential booking, such as number of travellers, cabin preferences or other trip-related details.
• Communication records, such as emails or messages you send to us and our responses.
• Technical and usage data linked to your device, such as IP address and approximate location, where this is considered personal data under applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information. We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiries and provide information about the cruise and related services.
• To prepare, manage and administer bookings where requested.
• To communicate with you about your enquiry or booking, including sending confirmations, updates and important service messages.
• To operate, maintain and improve the Site, including analytics and troubleshooting.
• To send you marketing communications about the cruise or similar services, where permitted by law and where you have not opted out.
• To comply with legal, regulatory and accounting obligations, and to protect our rights and the rights of others.

We may also share personal information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site, manage enquiries and bookings, host data, send emails and analyse usage. These providers are only permitted to use your information as necessary to perform services for us and must handle it securely.

Depending on your location and applicable data protection law, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to your personal information:

• To ask whether we hold personal information about you and to request a copy of it.
• To request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• To request that we delete your personal information, where there is no longer a legal or contractual reason for us to keep it.
• To object to, or request that we restrict, the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
• To withdraw consent where we rely on your consent to process your information (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).
• To submit a complaint to a supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.

These rights may not apply in all situations and may be subject to legal and regulatory requirements. To exercise any of these rights, don't hesitate to get in touch with us using the details in the “How to contact us” section.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, comply with legal and regulatory duties, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Retention periods are determined based on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you and applicable legal requirements. We may anonymise information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer treated as personal information.

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services. 

A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assign to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are very helpful and can be used for various different purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enable automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and our Services quicker and easier.

a. 'session cookies' which are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed; 

b. 'persistent cookies ' which are read only by the Site, saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits, for example to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in; 

c. 'third party cookies' which are set by other online services who run content on the page you are viewing, for example by third party analytics companies who monitor and analyze our web access.

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy .

Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.

Accordingly, we encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party that you choose to disclose information to. 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including any of the third parties which we may disclose information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. 

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information. We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of the information we collect and retain, and prevent unauthorized use of any such information, and we require any third party to comply with similar security requirements, in accordance with this Privacy Policy . Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard information, we cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access or abuse our Site, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access.

We may use your Personal Information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, etc. ourselves or by using our third party subcontractors for the purpose of providing you with promotional materials, concerning our services, which we believe may interest you. 

Out of respect to your right to privacy we provide you within such marketing materials with means to decline receiving further marketing offers from us. If you unsubscribe we will remove your email address or telephone number from our marketing distribution lists.
