Introduction and Scope
Effective as of November 15, 2025, this Privacy Policy governs how Kidvoyage.com ("We," "Us," or "Our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information from users of our travel guidance platform. Accessible via https://kidvoyage.com, the Service is an information site for parents who love to travel with their children, providing fresh ideas for holidays and helping organize travel. It connects parents (aged 18+) with summer camp providers through informational listings, subscriptions for providers, and promotional tools. We do not directly sell travel services or operate camps, focusing instead on facilitating informed decisions for family adventures. By using the Service, you consent to these practices. If you disagree, please do not access or use the platform. We may update this policy periodically; changes will be posted here with the "Last Updated" date. Continued use after revisions implies acceptance. For questions, contact us at contact@kidvoyage.com.
Types of Data We Collect
We collect only what's necessary to deliver a seamless experience, categorized as follows:
- Personal Information: Voluntarily provided during registration or interactions, including names, ages, phones, email addresses, and passwords. For providers, this may extend to payment details (processed securely via third-party gateways). We do not collect sensitive data like health or financial histories unless explicitly shared in listings (e.g., camp accessibility features), and even then, it's minimized.
- Technical and Usage Data: Automatically gathered via cookies and similar technologies, such as IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, pages viewed, time spent, and referral sources. This helps analyze trends and optimize the site without identifying individuals during casual browsing.
- Family-Related Insights: While we don't target children, parents may share aggregated preferences (e.g., child age ranges for camp recommendations). No direct child data is collected; all inputs are from adults.
How We Use Your Data
Your information enables core functions:
- Service Delivery: Managing accounts, facilitating camp inquiries, and providing personalized recommendations (e.g., based on viewed listings).
- Communications: Sending emails about updates, newsletters, or promotions (with opt-out options).
- Improvements and Analytics: Aggregating data to enhance usability, detect issues, or measure engagement.
- Legal Compliance: Responding to requests from authorities or protecting rights.
Sharing and Disclosure
We share data sparingly:
- Service Providers: With vendors for hosting, payments (e.g., PayPal, Stripe), or analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), bound by confidentiality.
- Legal Requirements: If compelled by law, subpoenas, or to prevent harm.
- Business Transfers: In mergers or sales, with continued protections.
- No Sales: We do not sell personal data.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies enhance functionality:
- Essential: For login sessions and security.
- Analytics: Track usage patterns anonymously.
- Marketing: Personalize content or ads.
Manage preferences via browser settings or our consent banner.
Your Privacy Rights
- GDPR Rights (EU Users): Access, rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Lodge complaints with supervisory authorities.
- CCPA/CPRA Rights (California Residents): Know collected data, delete, opt-out of sales/sharing, correct inaccuracies, and limit sensitive data use. Non-discrimination for exercising rights.
- General Rights: All users can access, update, or delete accounts via settings or requests to contact@kidvoyage.com (processed within 30-45 days).
For verifications, we may require ID.
Data Security and Retention
We implement measures like encryption, firewalls, and access limits to protect against breaches. Data is retained only as needed (e.g., active accounts indefinitely; inactive deleted after 2 years) or legally required. In case of breaches, we notify affected users per GDPR/CCPA timelines.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (COPPA-compliant) or 16 (GDPR for some consents). The platform requires users to be 18+, with parents responsible for any family-shared info. Providers must not upload identifiable child images without consents.
International Data Transfers
For EU users, transfers to the US comply with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or equivalent safeguards.
Changes to This Policy
We notify material changes via email or site notices. Review periodically.
