4. Sale and Advertising Use of Information

Tom Tours does not sell personal information in exchange for money.

However, certain advertising and analytics technologies may share device identifiers, cookies, or information about Internet activity with platforms such as Google or Meta. Depending on the applicable jurisdiction, certain activities may be considered “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising, even when they do not involve a sale for money.

When required, users may manage these technologies through our cookie notice or preference center, their browser settings, or by submitting a request directly to Tom Tours.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

TomTours.com may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to:

  • Operate the website
  • Remember preferences
  • Protect forms and transactions
  • Understand how visitors use the website
  • Measure advertising campaigns
  • Personalize content and advertisements

We may use services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Meta tools for these purposes.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. When required by law, we will request consent before activating optional analytics or advertising cookies.

You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not work correctly if certain cookies are disabled.

6. WhatsApp, SMS, and Email

We may use WhatsApp, text messages, email, and telephone calls to communicate about requests, quotes, reservations, payments, documents, and travel changes.

Communications necessary to provide a service are considered operational or transactional and are separate from promotional communications.

When you enroll in our alert system or agree to receive promotions, we may send offers for flights, packages, tours, and other travel services. Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply.

You may stop receiving promotional SMS messages by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact Tom Tours directly.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link included in the message.

You may request to stop receiving WhatsApp promotions by responding to the message or contacting us.

Opting out of promotional communications does not prevent us from sending necessary communications concerning a reservation or requested service.

When required by law, consent to receive promotional communications is not a condition of purchasing travel services.

7. Information About Other People

If you provide information about family members, companions, or other travelers, you confirm that you are authorized to provide that information and will inform them about this Privacy Policy.

You should not provide another person’s information if you do not have their permission.

8. Sensitive Information

Some services require sensitive information, including passport information, date of birth, nationality, or medical and accessibility requirements.

We use this information only when reasonably necessary to arrange travel, fulfill a request, comply with legal requirements, or protect the traveler.

We do not use sensitive information to create advertising profiles without the consent or legal authorization required.

9. Information Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Manage reservations and provide services
  • Maintain transaction records
  • Comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations
  • Resolve complaints and disputes
  • Prevent fraud and protect our systems
  • Maintain relationships with customers who have authorized communications

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information, services requested, supplier requirements, and applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in a form that no longer directly identifies the individual.

10. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information against loss, unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, identity verification, account protection, specialized payment providers, employee training, and internal procedures.

No information-storage or transmission system can guarantee absolute security. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be affected by a system failure, attack, or unauthorized access.

If you believe that a communication, account, or transaction involving Tom Tours is not secure, contact us immediately using the information published on our official website.

11. International Transfers

Planning and booking international travel may require information to be transmitted, stored, or processed outside the United States or the traveler’s country of residence.

The privacy laws of those countries may differ from the laws where the traveler resides. Tom Tours shares the information necessary to provide the requested services and uses reasonable safeguards when appropriate.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information directly from children without the participation of a parent or legal guardian.

Information about minors included in a reservation must be provided by an authorized adult and will be used to arrange the requested travel services.

If you believe that a child provided information directly to us without authorization, please contact us so we can review it.

13. Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and the applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to certain personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain information
  • Obtain a copy of certain information
  • Withdraw consent previously provided
  • Stop receiving promotional communications
  • Object to certain uses or disclosures
  • Opt out of targeted advertising when applicable
  • Appeal a decision when permitted by applicable law

These rights may be subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain certain information to complete a reservation, comply with legal obligations, maintain financial records, prevent fraud, or resolve a dispute.

Before responding to a request, we may verify your identity and authority. If another person submits a request on your behalf, we may request documentation showing that the person is authorized to act for you.

Tom Tours will not discriminate against an individual for exercising a privacy right recognized by applicable law.

14. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to airlines, hotels, tour operators, insurers, payment platforms, social networks, and other third parties.

Tom Tours does not control the privacy or security practices of those websites and services. We recommend reviewing their policies before providing information.

15. Booking Websites and Platforms

Some offers or reservations may be completed through a website, booking engine, or platform operated by a technology or travel provider.

Information provided through those platforms may be collected by both Tom Tours and the provider operating the system, in accordance with the policies presented during the booking process.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, systems, providers, or legal requirements.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. When required, we will provide additional notice or obtain renewed consent.
