Privacy Policy

Summer’s Vacation Club is currently operated by Joshua Martin, a sole proprietor doing business as Summer’s Vacation Club (“Summer’s Vacation Club,” “SVC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit summersvacationclub.com, submit a travel-planning inquiry, communicate with us, or use services linked from our website.

Information we collect

Information you provide. We may collect your name, email address, telephone number, traveler counts, prospective destinations, travel dates, estimated budget, preferences, and other information you choose to include in a travel inquiry or communication.

Information collected automatically. Our website host and technical providers may process information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, dates and times of access, and security or diagnostic logs. This information is used to deliver, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

Browser storage and cookies. The current SVC website uses technology necessary to operate and secure the site. The embedded JourneyFuse form may use cookies or similar browser storage to provide form functionality, protect the form, and restore information entered during a prior visit. The website also obtains fonts from Google Fonts, which requires the visitor’s browser to connect to Google’s servers.

SVC does not currently use its own advertising pixels or behavioral-advertising cookies on the website. If we later introduce nonessential analytics, advertising, embedded social feeds, or similar technologies, we will update this Policy and provide consent or opt-out controls where required.

How we use information

We use information to:

• respond to inquiries and communicate with prospective or current clients;
• understand travel preferences and provide planning, quotation, itinerary, and booking-related services;
• maintain client and trip records;
• communicate important service, booking, supplier, or itinerary information;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and services;
• detect or prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity;
• comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, and contractual requirements; and
• send marketing communications when permitted by law and consistent with the choices you make.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe method provided in the message or by contacting us. Transactional and trip-related messages may continue when needed to provide requested services.

How information is disclosed

We do not sell personal information for money.

We may disclose information as reasonably necessary to:

• JourneyFuse, which hosts our embedded intake form and provides client-relationship and travel-management services;
• Hostinger, WordPress, Breakdance, and related technical providers, which help operate and secure the website;
• A.S.A.P. Cruises Inc. / Outside Agents and affiliated host-agency systems, when their services are used in connection with planning or booking;
• travel suppliers and intermediaries, such as cruise lines, tour operators, hotels, airlines, transportation companies, destination-management companies, travel-insurance providers, booking platforms, and other suppliers involved in a requested quotation or booking;
• professional advisers and service providers, such as accountants, legal advisers, security providers, communications providers, and payment processors;
• government authorities, regulators, courts, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety, and security; or
• a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale, or transfer of the business, subject to applicable law.

Third-party providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Relevant policies include the JourneyFuse Privacy Policy, JourneyFuse Terms of Service, and the host-agency Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

External websites and booking platforms

Our website may link to third-party websites, social networks, quote tools, supplier websites, and booking platforms. SVC does not control the privacy, security, content, availability, or data practices of those services. Review the applicable provider’s terms and privacy policy before submitting information or completing a transaction.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, administer travel and business records, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, regulatory, insurance, tax, and accounting obligations. Retention periods vary according to the type of record and the purpose for which it is maintained.

JourneyFuse states that it retains information while an account is active or as needed to provide its service and generally deletes or anonymizes data within 30 days after account deletion, except where retention is legally or operationally required. JourneyFuse’s own policy controls its processing.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please contact us promptly if you believe information associated with SVC has been accessed or used without authorization.

Your choices and requests

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may ask us to:

• provide information about personal data we maintain about you;
• correct inaccurate information;
• delete information that we are not required to retain;
• stop or limit certain uses of information; or
• stop sending marketing communications.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Certain records may be retained when required for legal, accounting, security, supplier, dispute-resolution, or booking purposes.

Submit privacy requests using the contact information below. For information held directly by JourneyFuse, you may also review JourneyFuse’s policy or contact JourneyFuse using the method stated there.

Children’s privacy

The website and travel-planning inquiry form are intended for adults. We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 16. An adult arranging family travel may provide information reasonably necessary to plan travel for minors. Do not submit sensitive information concerning a minor through the general homepage form.

Visitors outside the United States

SVC is operated from the United States, and information may be processed and stored in the United States. If you access the website from another country, its privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Contact us before submitting information if you have questions about international processing.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, providers, legal obligations, or services change. The revised Policy will be posted with a new effective date. Material changes may be communicated through additional notice when appropriate.
