Cruise Side by Side (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at cruisesidebyside.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, email us at [email protected].
We only collect the information you choose to give us. That includes:
You are not required to provide any of this to browse the Site.
Like most websites, the Site and our hosting provider automatically record certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit.
We use this information in aggregate to understand which content is useful, to keep the Site secure, and to diagnose technical problems. We do not use it to try to identify you personally.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses:
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or warn you before one is set. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work correctly.
We rely on established third-party providers to run the Site. Each one only receives the information it needs to do its job, and each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles that data:
We do not control these companies’ privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies directly.
Cruise Side by Side participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. This means some links on the Site — particularly in our Ship Shop and within posts and videos — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate program may set a cookie or record a referral identifier in order to attribute the sale to us. That tracking is performed by the affiliate network or merchant under their own privacy policy, not ours, and any information you enter on their site (payment details, shipping address, account information) goes to them, not to us.
Some content is created in partnership with brands. We only partner when the product or service fits our audience, and we disclose those relationships. We share only what we would actually use ourselves.
We use the information described above to:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade our email list.
We share personal information only in these circumstances:
We do not share your information with advertisers for their own independent marketing.
We keep newsletter subscriber information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Form submissions and partnership inquiries are kept as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of the conversation. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Server logs and aggregate statistics are retained on a rolling basis by our hosting and analytics providers.
Email. Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time, and we will stop sending marketing messages.
Access, correction, and deletion. You may ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will respond as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
If you are in the EEA or UK. We process your information on the basis of your consent (for example, when you subscribe), our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site, and where necessary to comply with legal obligations. You have the right to withdraw consent, object to processing, request portability, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
If you are a California resident. You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Browser signals. The Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals, because no common standard for honoring them has been adopted. You can still control cookies through your browser as described above.
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, email [email protected] and we will delete it.
The Site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we rely on reputable hosting and email providers with their own security programs. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive information such as payment card or passport details through our forms or by email.
We operate from the United States, and our service providers may store and process information in the United States and other countries. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in a country whose data protection laws differ from those in your own.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site, our tools, or the law change. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted on the Site. Continuing to use the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
