Last updated: July 25, 2026

Lifestyle Cruise Guide respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the website or contact us, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Who We Are

Lifestyle Cruise Guide is an independent educational website providing information about lifestyle cruises.

For privacy questions or requests, contact: steve@lifestylecruiseguide.com

Information You Provide

We may receive personal information when you contact us by email. This may include your name, email address, the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record technical information when you visit the site.

This information may include:

• Your Internet Protocol address
• Browser and device type
• Operating system
• Date and time of access
• Pages requested
• Referring website
• General technical and security information

Server logs are generally used to operate the website, investigate technical problems, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries, feedback, and correction requests
• Operate and maintain the website
• Investigate errors, security issues, or misuse
• Improve the accuracy and usefulness of our content
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we may process personal information because:

• You have asked us to respond to an enquiry
• It is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, protecting, and improving the website
• We need to comply with a legal obligation
• You have given consent for a specific purpose

Cookies and Analytics

At launch, Lifestyle Cruise Guide does not intentionally use advertising cookies, visitor accounts, newsletter tracking, or third-party behavioral analytics.

Essential technical cookies may be used by the website platform or hosting provider where necessary for security and basic site operation.

If analytics, advertising, newsletters, or other tracking technologies are added later, this policy will be updated and any required consent controls will be introduced.

Sharing Information

Personal information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, email, security, and technical support providers.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or a valid legal request
• Protect the website, its users, or other people
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

External Links

The website contains links to cruise operators and other third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Technical server logs may be retained for a limited period by the hosting provider for security, troubleshooting, and operational purposes.

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no website, email service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of information in certain circumstances
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request a portable copy of certain information
• Complain to the relevant data protection authority

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

International Visitors

The website may be accessed internationally, and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Data protection laws may differ between countries. Where required, reasonable safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

Children

Lifestyle Cruise Guide is intended for adults and is not directed toward children under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
