Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

Our website and booking pages may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to ensure functionality, analyze usage, improve user experience, measure website performance, and maintain website security. These technologies may be provided by third-party services such as website hosts, analytics providers, booking platforms, payment processors, or marketing tools.

You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website or booking tools. By continuing to use our website or forms without disabling cookies, you consent to their use as described here.

• Processing authorized payments and managing administrative functions
• Sharing information with travel suppliers and service providers as needed to fulfill your requests

Technology and Artificial Intelligence Tools

Travel With Makini may utilize third-party software, automation tools, and artificial intelligence-assisted technologies to support research, itinerary preparation, administrative functions, communications, content creation, and client service delivery. Any such tools are used to assist business operations and do not replace advisor review, supplier documentation, or client decision-making. Travel recommendations and booking decisions are not made solely by automated systems.

We do not input payment card numbers, government-issued identification numbers, or other highly sensitive financial information into artificial intelligence tools.

How We Share Your Information

We share personal information only as necessary and appropriate, including with:

• Travel suppliers such as airlines, hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, transportation providers, and insurance providers
• Fora, our host agency and technology provider, to facilitate bookings, payment processing, compliance, and support
• Payment processors and booking platforms used to securely process transactions
• Service providers who support our website, communications, marketing, analytics, or business operations
• Legal, regulatory, insurance, or governmental authorities if required by law or to protect our legal rights

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Each third party is responsible for its own privacy practices once your information is shared.

International Transfers

Travel planning frequently requires the transmission of personal information to suppliers, hotels, cruise lines, transportation providers, destination management companies, insurance providers, and governmental authorities located outside the United States. By requesting international travel services, you acknowledge and consent to such transfers as reasonably necessary to fulfill your travel arrangements.

Third-Party Privacy Practices

Once personal information is provided to a travel supplier, booking platform, insurance provider, payment processor, or other third party to fulfill your travel arrangements, their privacy practices govern the handling of that information. Travel With Makini is not responsible for the privacy, security, or data handling practices of independent third parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no system, website, platform, or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and you acknowledge and accept this risk.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, comply with legal, accounting, tax, insurance, supplier, regulatory, and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to newsletters, promotional communications, or marketing content, you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications or by contacting us directly. Transactional, booking-related, and trip-related communications may still be sent when necessary to provide services or manage existing travel arrangements.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal, regulatory, contractual, insurance, accounting, or business record retention obligations
• Opt out of non-essential communications

Requests may be submitted by contacting us at the email address listed below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, may have additional privacy rights under applicable state laws. Travel With Makini does not sell personal information. If you wish to exercise applicable rights under state privacy laws, you may contact us using the information below.

Children’s Privacy

Our services and website are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we receive information about minors in connection with travel arrangements, it is provided by an adult traveler, parent, or legal guardian solely for the purpose of arranging travel services.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our website, communications, and marketing materials may include links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, content, or policies of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

Updates to This Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. Any updates will become effective upon posting unless otherwise required by applicable law. The updated version will be posted on our website with a revised effective date.
