Adventure Life is a travel planning and advisory company headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. We provide services including travel planning, itinerary development, destination guidance, online consultations, and travel information resources. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Adventure Life is the "data controller" — meaning we determine the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.

Our primary point of contact for privacy-related matters is our team, reachable at plan@adventure-life.org. We are committed to responding to all privacy inquiries within 30 business days of receipt.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us immediately so we can delete that information.

Information Sharing & Third Parties

Adventure Life does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies to perform functions on our behalf, including payment processing, email delivery, website hosting, and analytics. These providers have access to your personal data only as necessary to perform their designated functions and are contractually bound to maintain its confidentiality.
• Travel Partners: With your explicit consent, we may share relevant travel preference data with hotels, airlines, or activity providers to facilitate reservations and bookings made as part of your travel plan.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or government regulation, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Adventure Life, our clients, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance of any such transfer and given the option to delete your data.

Any third-party service providers we work with are required to implement appropriate security measures and to use your data only for the purposes we specify. We conduct due diligence on all partners to ensure they meet our privacy standards.

Data Security & Retention

We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only, secure cloud storage with regular backups, and routine security assessments of our systems and processes.

Despite our best efforts, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, and any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for your accounts and to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your information.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Typical retention periods are as follows:

• Client service records and correspondence: up to 5 years following completion of services.
• Payment and billing records: as required by applicable tax and financial regulations, typically 7 years.
• Marketing consent records: until consent is withdrawn, plus 2 additional years for record-keeping.
• Website analytics data: up to 26 months in anonymized form.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data. Adventure Life is committed to honoring these rights in compliance with applicable law. Your rights may include:

Please note that some rights may be limited by applicable law, and there may be circumstances in which we are permitted or required to retain certain information despite your request.

International Data Transfers

Adventure Life operates from the United States and may process or store your information on servers located in the United States or in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate steps to ensure that international transfers of personal data are subject to adequate safeguards, including contractual protections and security measures designed to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of your information.

Third-Party Links & External Services

Our website, itineraries, guides, or communications may contain links to third-party websites, booking platforms, tourism boards, service providers, or external resources. These third-party services operate independently from Adventure Life and have their own privacy practices, terms, and security standards.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external service you access before submitting personal information to that provider.

Adventure Life may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, legal obligations, or data handling practices.
