App Privacy Policy

Overview

This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") applies to the information collection and use practices of our online services, which are made available to you through a variety of platforms, including the Travel With Sean & Meghan mobile application (the "App"), our website located at twsmtravel.com (the "Site"), and through our social media accounts on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram (collectively, "Social Media"), all owned and operated by Sean Koetzner d/b/a Travel With Sean & Meghan ("TWS&M," "we," "us," or "our"). The App, the Site, and our Social Media accounts are collectively referred to as the "Platform." We have created this Privacy Policy to tell you what information the Platform collects, how we use that information, and who we will share that information with, if at all. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy practices of any third parties that we do not own, control, or are affiliated with. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning stated in our Terms of Use. By visiting and/or using our Platform, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Use. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use the information it contains to help you make informed decisions.

Information We Collect or Receive

In the course of operating the App, we will collect and/or receive the following types of information. You authorize us to collect and/or receive such information.

Personal Information. We only receive or collect information that identifies you personally if you choose to provide such personally identifiable information to us via email or other means.

Payment Information. The App does not currently process payments or collect payment information directly. If we introduce paid features or services in the future, any payment processing will be handled by Apple's in-app purchase system or a third-party payment processor. In such cases, we will not directly access or store your payment card details. Any payment information you provide will be subject to the payment processor's privacy policy and terms of use, and this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect the applicable practices.

Geolocational Information. Certain features and functionalities of the App are based on your location. In order to provide these features and functionalities while you are using your mobile device, we may, with your consent, automatically collect Geolocational Information from your mobile device or wireless carrier and/or certain third-party service providers (collectively, "Geolocational Information"). Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the App is running on your device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case we will not be able to provide certain features or functionalities to you.

Third-Party Analytics. We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics) to evaluate your use of the App, compile reports on activity, analyze performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to the App and usage patterns. These third parties may use cookies and other technologies to help analyze and provide us the data. You consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For more information on Google Analytics, including how to opt out from certain data collection, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Please be advised that if you opt out of any such service, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the App.

Other Information. In addition to the Personal Information, Payment Information, and Geolocational Information, we may automatically collect or receive additional information regarding you and your use of the App; your interactions with us and our advertising; and information regarding your computer and mobile devices used to access the App (collectively, the “Other Information”). Such Other Information may include:

From You. Additional information about yourself that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your gender and your product and service preferences.

From Your Activity. We may collect or receive information regarding:

• IP address, which may consist of a static or dynamic IP address and will sometimes point to a specific identifiable computer or mobile device
• Browser type and language
• Referring and exit pages and URLs
• Date and time; and
• Details regarding your activity on the App, such as search queries and other performance and usage data.

About Your Mobile Device. We may collect or receive information regarding:

• Type of mobile device
• Unique device identifiers (excluding advertising identifiers unless separately disclosed)
• Operating system and version (e.g., iOS, Android, or Windows)
• Carrier; and
• Network type (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, LTE).

From Cookies. We may use both session cookies, which expire once you close the App, and persistent cookies, which stay on your mobile device until you delete them and other technologies to help us collect data and to enhance your experience with the App. Cookies are small text files an app can use to recognize a repeat visitor to the app. We may use cookies for various purposes, including to:

• Personalize your experience
• Analyze which portions of the App are visited and used most frequently; and
• Measure and optimize advertising and promotional effectiveness.

If you do not want us to deploy cookies in the App, you can opt out by setting your mobile device to reject cookies. You can still use the App if you choose to disable cookies, although your ability to use some of the features may be affected.

How Information Is Used and Shared

You authorize us to use the Personal Information, Payment Information, Geolocational Information, and the Other Information (collectively, the “Information”) to:

• Provide and improve our App
• Provide our services
• Administer our promotional programs
• Solicit your feedback; and
• Inform you about our products and services.

We may share limited, non-identifying information with travel-related business partners, such as hotels or tourism operators, solely to facilitate services featured on the Platform. We will not share your Personal Information with third-party marketing partners without your prior consent.

We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include providing technical assistance, customer service, marketing assistance, and administration of promotional programs. These other companies will have access to the Information only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law.

In an ongoing effort to better understand our users, the App, and our products and services, we may analyze certain Information in anonymized and aggregate form to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the App and/or such products and services. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share and/or license this aggregate data to our affiliates, agents, business, and promotional partners, and other third parties. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics to describe the App and these products and services to current and prospective business partners and investors and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

We may share some or all of your Information with any of our parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us.

As we develop our businesses, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, sale of assets, dissolution, or similar event, the Information may be part of the transferred assets.

To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose the Information:

• When required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; or
• Whenever we believe that disclosing such Information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of us or others, including you.

We will use your Payment Information to process your authorized payments through the App. We will share your Payment Information with a third-party service provider as necessary to process your payment. The third-party service provider stores your Payment Information; we do not store this information. Storage by the third-party service provider of your Payment Information is subject to the privacy policies and practices of the third-party service provider and is not subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. By providing your Payment Information, you acknowledge and agree to use of such information by the third-party service provider for purposes of processing your payment to us.

Accessing and Modifying Information and Communication Preferences

If you have provided us any Personal Information, you may access, remove, review, and/or make changes to the same by contacting us as set forth below. In addition, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of any of our marketing e-mails. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our subscription databases. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails related to the App (e.g., requests for support).

We may also deliver notifications to your mobile device (e.g., push notifications). You can disable these notifications by deleting the relevant service or by changing the settings on your mobile device.

How We Protect Your Information

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share such Information, nor can we guarantee that the Information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. In particular, email sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When Personal Information is no longer required, we will delete or de-identify it in accordance with our data retention practices.

Important Notices to Non-U.S. Residents

The App and its servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that your Information, including your Personal Information, may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to use the App, you consent to the transfer, processing, and use of your information in the United States and elsewhere as described in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by discontinuing use of the App and contacting us to request deletion of your information.

App Stores; External Websites

Your app store (e.g., iTunes or Google Play) may collect certain information in connection with your use of the App, such as Personal Information, Payment Information, Geolocational Information, and other usage-based data. We have no control over the collection of such information by a third-party app store, and any such collection or use will be subject to that third party’s applicable privacy policies.

The App may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of these websites. As such, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of those third-party websites. You should check the applicable third-party Privacy Policy and Terms of Use when visiting any other websites.

App Tracking Transparency

The App does not track your activity across other companies' apps and websites and does not request access to your device's advertising identifier (IDFA).

Children

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and will not knowingly collect Personal Information from any child under the age of 13. We ask that minors (under the age of 13) not use the App. If a child under the age of 13 has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us at the address below and request that such information be deleted from our records. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor such requests. Additionally, we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of users under the age of 16.

Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents who have an established business relationship with us may choose to opt out of our sharing their contact information with third parties for direct marketing purposes.
