We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us as well as certain technical and usage information collected automatically when you visit Glovacations.com. The type of information collected depends on how you interact with the website.

In the course of planning or facilitating travel-related services, we may also collect details such as destination interests, accommodation preferences, transportation needs, dietary restrictions, accessibility requirements, loyalty program information, and traveler names and ages. If you provide information about other travelers, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the authority to share their information with us and that they understand how their data may be used.
We may automatically collect technical information through cookies, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies. This may include your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, date and time of access, approximate geographic location, clickstream behavior, and interactions with website features or advertisements.

Glovacations.com may use cookies and related technologies to improve website performance, remember preferences, understand user behavior, measure marketing effectiveness, and deliver relevant content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are necessary for basic site functionality, while others support analytics, personalization, and advertising.
We may use different categories of cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, analytics cookies, functionality cookies, and advertising or targeting cookies. These technologies may be set by us or by trusted third-party service providers that support website analytics, marketing, booking tools, payment functionality, or embedded content.

How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging your data for money. However, we may share personal information with third parties when necessary to operate our business, provide requested services, comply with legal obligations, or protect our rights and users.
We may share information with travel suppliers and service providers such as airlines, hotels, tour operators, transportation companies, insurance providers, payment processors, customer relationship management platforms, website hosting providers, analytics vendors, email distribution services, advertising partners, and technical support providers. These third parties may process information on our behalf or receive information as needed to fulfill bookings, deliver services, or support our business operations.
We may also disclose personal information in the following circumstances:
- When required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
- To respond to lawful requests from public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement.
- To protect the rights, property, safety, and security of Glovacations.com, our users, employees, partners, or the public.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, asset sale, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other corporate transaction involving all or part of our business.
- With your consent or at your direction.
When we engage service providers, we take reasonable steps to require that they handle personal information in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and security obligations.
International Data Transfers
Because travel services often involve global suppliers and destinations, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside your country or region of residence. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home jurisdiction. When international transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to implement appropriate safeguards where required by law, including contractual protections and other recognized transfer mechanisms.
By using Glovacations.com and providing information in connection with travel planning or bookings, you understand that international transfers may be necessary to fulfill requested services, especially where foreign hotels, airlines, destination service providers, or local tour operators are involved.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and protecting our legitimate interests. The retention period may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, and any applicable legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, or contractual requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include secure hosting environments, access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring tools, staff awareness practices, and vendor oversight.
Despite our efforts, no website, online platform, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, we cannot warrant absolute security. Users should also take steps to protect their own information, such as using strong passwords, avoiding the transmission of sensitive information through unsecured channels, and being cautious when using shared or public devices.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your information, request restriction of processing, object to certain processing activities, request portability of eligible data, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also have the right to opt out of certain marketing communications. If you no longer wish to receive promotional emails from Glovacations.com, you can use the unsubscribe link included in those communications or contact us directly. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send service-related communications that are necessary for bookings, account management, customer support, or legal compliance.
Where applicable law provides a right to appeal or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or data protection regulator, you may exercise that right as well. We encourage users to contact us first so we can attempt to address any privacy concerns promptly and fairly.
Do Not Track and Advertising Choices
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that signals websites about your privacy preferences. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to such signals, Glovacations.com may not respond to Do Not Track requests in all circumstances. However, you may still manage cookies and tracking technologies through browser settings, consent tools, and available industry opt-out mechanisms.
If we use advertising or remarketing tools, third-party partners may collect information about your interactions with Glovacations.com and other websites over time to help deliver more relevant advertisements. You can often limit this type of tracking by adjusting browser settings, mobile device privacy controls, or the settings offered by relevant advertising platforms.
Third-Party Links and Services
Glovacations.com may contain links to third-party websites, booking engines, social media platforms, payment providers, or travel supplier portals that are not owned or controlled by us. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our website and services unless otherwise expressly stated. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party websites or services.
When you click on a third-party link or engage with an external service, your information may be collected and processed under that third party's own policies and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any third-party websites or providers before submitting personal information.
Children's Privacy
Glovacations.com is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
In certain travel booking situations, information about minors may be provided by a parent, guardian, or authorized adult traveler as necessary to arrange transportation, accommodations, or other travel services. In such cases, we expect the adult providing the information to do so lawfully and with proper authority.
Sensitive Information
We ask that users provide only the information reasonably necessary for travel planning, customer support, or transactions. Unless specifically required for a booking or legal obligation, please do not send highly sensitive personal information through unsecured forms or general email communications. If certain sensitive details are needed for travel arrangements, such as accessibility requirements or identification information, we will use reasonable measures to handle that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Legal Bases for Processing for Certain Jurisdictions
If you are located in a jurisdiction such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar privacy laws, we may process your personal information on one or more legal bases, including your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests, performance of a task carried out in the public interest where applicable, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests may include managing our website, improving services, preventing fraud, securing our systems, communicating with users, and promoting our services in a lawful and proportionate manner. Where consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time, although withdrawal will not affect processing already carried out before the withdrawal.
California Privacy Disclosures
If you are a California resident and applicable law applies, you may have additional rights regarding personal information, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources of that information, the purposes for which it is used, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared. You may also have the right to request deletion or correction of personal information, to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable, and to opt out of certain forms of data sharing or targeted advertising as defined by law.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of users where permitted by law and subject to verification requirements.
