Atlas and Anchor Travel
Effective / Last Updated: September 10, 2026
Atlas and Anchor Travel (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of our clients and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information in connection with atlasanchortravel.com, travel inquiries, planning services, reservations, and related communications.
By using our website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy does not replace the privacy policies or terms of airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts, tour operators, travel insurers, host agencies, payment processors, or other independent travel suppliers.
1. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on the services you request and may include:
• Contact information, such as name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and preferred method of communication.
• Traveler information, such as legal name, date of birth, gender or title when required for travel, citizenship or residency information, passport or other travel-document details, and known traveler or loyalty-program numbers.
• Travel preferences and trip details, such as destinations, dates, budget, room or cabin preferences, dining preferences, accessibility needs, dietary requests, celebration information, and other details you choose to provide for trip planning.
• Payment and authorization information, including billing details and payment-card information when necessary to process an authorized travel payment or service fee.
• Communications and records, including emails, text messages, telephone notes, forms, signed agreements, confirmations, photographs, testimonials, reviews, and other correspondence or content you voluntarily share in connection with your travel planning or experience.
• Website and technical information, which may include IP address, device/browser information, pages viewed, referring pages, form activity, cookie preferences, and analytics information collected through Wix or other website tools that are enabled.
2. How We Collect Information
We may collect information directly from you through our website forms, Travel Planning Profile, email, telephone, text messages, credit-card authorization forms, signed agreements, social media messages, and other communications. We may also receive information from another traveler in your party, a person arranging travel on your behalf, our host agency, or a travel supplier when necessary to service your reservation. If you provide personal information about another traveler, you represent that you are authorized to provide that information for the travel-planning or booking purpose involved.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate our travel-advisor business and provide requested services, including to:
• Research, quote, plan, reserve, modify, and manage travel arrangements.
• Communicate with you about inquiries, quotes, reservations, payments, travel documents, schedule changes, and trip support.
• Transmit required traveler and payment information to travel suppliers or service providers to complete transactions you authorize.
• Maintain booking, accounting, commission, payment, authorization, customer-service, and dispute records.
• Provide service-related reminders, pre-departure information, and post-travel follow-up.
• Improve our website, services, client experience, and business operations.
• Comply with applicable law, legal process, supplier requirements, fraud-prevention needs, and legitimate business recordkeeping obligations.
• Send promotional or marketing communications when you have consented or when otherwise permitted by law; you may opt out of promotional emails at any time. Photographs, testimonials, reviews, or travel experiences you voluntarily share may be used for marketing only consistent with the permissions you have provided.
4. Sharing of Personal Information
Travel planning requires information to be shared with third parties. We may disclose personal information to:
• Travel suppliers, including airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts, tour operators, transportation providers, excursion companies, and travel insurance providers.
• Our host agency, consortia, booking platforms, reservation systems, payment processors, and other providers that support travel fulfillment and agency operations.
• Wix and other service providers that host, secure, maintain, analyze, or support our website and business technology.
• Professional advisers or authorities when reasonably necessary for accounting, legal compliance, fraud prevention, protection of rights or safety, or response to lawful requests.
We do not sell or rent client personal information to third parties for their own unrelated marketing purposes. We do not disclose payment-card information except as reasonably necessary to process an authorized transaction, maintain required records, address a payment dispute, or comply with law.
5. Payment and Sensitive Travel Information
Certain bookings require sensitive information, including payment-card details, passport information, dates of birth, or accessibility-related information. We use this information only for legitimate travel-planning, booking, servicing, accounting, legal, or dispute-resolution purposes. Information may be shared with the relevant supplier, host agency, or payment service when necessary to complete an authorized transaction or reservation.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We use reasonable administrative and technical practices appropriate to a small travel-advisor business, but we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted by email, online forms, or other communications.
6. Website Hosting, Cookies, and Analytics
Our website is hosted on the Wix platform. Wix may process information needed to operate, secure, and analyze the website. Our site may use essential cookies and, depending on the features enabled and your consent choices, analytics, functional, or marketing cookies or similar technologies.
Where a cookie banner or privacy controls are available, you may use those tools to accept, decline, or adjust non-essential cookies. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. Third-party services used on the website may have their own privacy and cookie practices.
7. International Travel and Data Transfers
Because we arrange international travel, personal information may be transferred to and processed by travel suppliers or service providers located outside your state or outside the United States. Privacy protections and data laws may differ by location. We share information as reasonably necessary to arrange and service the travel you request.
8. Information About Minor Travelers
We may collect information about a traveler under age 18 when it is provided by a parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult and is needed to plan or book travel. Our website and services are not directed to children for the purpose of collecting information directly from them. Parents or guardians may contact us regarding information provided for a minor traveler.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide travel services, maintain business and accounting records, administer commissions and supplier matters, respond to disputes or chargebacks, meet contractual or legal requirements, and protect legitimate business interests. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and the reservation or transaction involved. When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, destroy, or de-identify it consistent with our operational and legal obligations.
10. Your Privacy Choices and Requests
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion, or information about how it is used or disclosed. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to information we must retain for completed transactions, legal obligations, or legitimate business purposes.
To make a privacy request, contact us at atlasanchortravel@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications using the available opt-out method or by contacting us directly. Service-related communications about an active inquiry or reservation may still be necessary.
11. Third-Party Websites and Supplier Policies
Our website, emails, itineraries, or travel documents may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of those websites or independent travel suppliers. Please review the privacy policies of any third party before providing information directly to them.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, suppliers, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on our website with a revised effective or last-updated date. Material changes may also be communicated through other reasonable means when appropriate.
