Butts in the Sand Travel LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by travel advisors Bill and Stacie, respects your privacy. This statement explains how we handle information when you visit our website, contact us, submit a Facebook or Instagram inquiry form, or request travel planning assistance.
Information we collect
When you contact us or submit an inquiry, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, preferred destinations, travel dates, number of travelers, approximate budget, and messages. Facebook and Instagram forms may prefill contact details from your profile; please review them before submitting.
If you decide to book, additional traveler and booking information may be needed by the travel supplier or booking provider. We will explain what is needed and how to provide it. Please do not send payment-card details, passport numbers, Social Security numbers, or sensitive health information through an advertising inquiry form or ordinary email or text.
Our website hosting provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages requested, and access times to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
How we use your information
- Respond to your inquiry and contact you about the travel planning assistance you requested.
- Explore cruises, resorts, and other vacation options that fit your preferences.
- Assist with quotes, booking arrangements, and trip-related communication when you choose to proceed.
- Maintain business records, protect our services, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Submitting an inquiry does not book a trip or authorize a payment. We may respond by email, phone, or text using the details you provide. An inquiry does not by itself enroll you in unrelated promotional messaging. Any separate marketing subscription will be presented separately.
When information is shared
We do not sell your personal information or provide inquiry contact lists to other businesses for their independent marketing.
We may share information as needed with service providers that support our communications, website, and business operations. If you ask us to obtain a quote or arrange travel, we may share relevant information with booking partners, a host agency where applicable, cruise lines, resorts, airlines, or other travel suppliers. Those providers may handle information under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or prevent fraud.
Facebook, Instagram & other websites
When you submit a Facebook or Instagram lead form, Meta processes the submission and makes your submitted information available to us. We use it for the inquiry and purposes described here. Meta separately processes information under its Privacy Policy. You can manage advertising preferences through your Meta account settings.
Our website may link to travel suppliers or other external services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Cookies & website tracking
Our current website does not include a Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, or an on-site advertising tracking script. The hosting service and external platforms may use technologies needed to operate their services. Facebook and Instagram advertising activity occurs on Meta’s platforms and is subject to Meta’s policies. If we add website analytics or advertising tracking, we will update this statement and provide any required notices and choices.
Retention & security
We retain information as needed to respond to inquiries, provide travel services, maintain necessary business records, and meet legal or contractual obligations. Retention depends on the purpose and whether you proceed with a booking. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices & privacy requests
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete information you provided, or to stop inquiry follow-up or marketing messages, by emailing bill@buttsinthesandtravel.com or calling either advisor below. You can also reply to our email or text to tell us you no longer wish to be contacted.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Some records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, booking, or dispute-related purposes. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on where you live; contact us to make a request.
Children’s information
Our website and advertising inquiry forms are intended for adults. A parent or guardian should provide any information needed to plan a child’s travel. If you believe a child submitted personal information directly, contact us so we can address it.
Updates to this statement
We may update this policy as our services or practices change. The effective date above will identify the latest revision.
