This Master Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Sovereign Journeys Travel, LLC, doing business as Adventure Community Co. (“Adventure Community,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information.

1. Scope and Services Covered

This Policy applies when you interact with any website, mobile or web application, online community, booking flow, event, trip, communication channel, or other service that links to this Policy, including:

Service providers may process information for us under contractual restrictions. Independent recipients may process information under their own privacy policies.

8. Public and Member-Visible Information

Information you publish or choose to display through a profile, post, comment, group, event, review, photograph, or video may be visible to other members or the public, depending on the feature and your settings.

Deleting an account or post may not remove copies:

• Retained by other users

• Included in system backups

• Required for legal, security, or safety purposes

• Preserved in aggregated or de-identified form

9. Hosts, Organizers, and Independent Providers

A host or organizer may receive participant information needed to operate an event.

Hosts and organizers must use that information only for legitimate event, safety, communication, and legal purposes and must protect it appropriately.

Some hosts or organizers may be independent businesses rather than our employees or service providers. When an independent party determines its own purposes and methods for using information, it is independently responsible for those practices.

Questions about an independent party’s use of information should be directed to that party. You may also report privacy concerns to us.

10. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to:

• Keep the Services functioning

• Remember your preferences

• Understand how the Services are used

• Measure conversions

• Prevent fraud

• Improve website and application performance

Where required, nonessential technologies will be used only after you provide the applicable consent or make a permitted choice.

You may adjust your cookie preferences through CookieYes or through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of certain Services.

Traditional “Do Not Track” signals are not governed by a uniform standard. Where legally required, we recognize qualifying opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.

11. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information for money.

Certain advertising, analytics, or social-media technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some U.S. state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

Where these laws apply, you may opt out through:

• Your Privacy Choices

• Our cookie-preference tool

• A recognized browser-based opt-out signal

If you subscribe or otherwise consent, we may send marketing emails or text messages. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link included in the message.

You can opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance. Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing a product or Service.

We do not provide mobile numbers or text-message consent to unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing.

13. Payments

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers or directly by travel suppliers, hosts, or organizers.

The applicable provider’s privacy policy governs information you provide directly to that provider.

We may receive transaction information needed for:

• Business records

• Customer support

• Payment reconciliation

• Platform fees

• Refunds and credits

• Fraud prevention

14. International Transfers

We are based in the United States.

Travel planning and international trips may require personal information to be transferred to and processed in countries with privacy laws that differ from those where you live.

We disclose only the information reasonably necessary to arrange or support the requested Services and use any safeguards required by applicable law where available.

15. Data Retention

We retain personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose.

When determining an appropriate retention period, we may consider:

• The nature and sensitivity of the information

• The duration of our relationship with you

• Transaction and trip records

• Waiver and insurance requirements

• Participant safety

• Fraud prevention

• System backup cycles

• Tax and accounting requirements

• Applicable statutes of limitation

• Dispute-resolution needs

• Other legal or regulatory obligations

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and how it is used.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or securely dispose of it.

We may retain de-identified information and will not attempt to re-identify it except where permitted by law.

16. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

These safeguards may include:

• Access controls

• Account authentication

• Secure transmission

• Vendor review

• System backups

• Security monitoring

• Workforce practices appropriate to the information and associated risk

No system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure will never occur.

Use the secure method we designate when submitting passport details, payment information, medical information, or identity documents.

Do not send sensitive information through ordinary email, text messages, public posts, or community messages unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
