Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

VFL Destination Weddings (vfldestinationweddings.com) is operated by Vacations For Less, Inc. ("VFL," "we," "our," or "us"), a family-owned travel agency and registered California Seller of Travel (CST #2002477-40). This policy explains how we handle personal information when you use our website or contact us by phone, email, or our online forms.

2. Information We Collect

Information you give us

• Quote and contact forms: your name, email address, phone number, preferred destination, wedding date, estimated guest count, and budget range.
• Bookings: traveler names, dates of birth, contact details, and — when required by airlines or destination countries — passport or travel-document details.
• Payments: payment card or billing details needed to pay deposits and balances.
• Special requests: details you choose to share, such as room preferences or celebration plans.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we and our analytics providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at our site. See Cookies & Analytics.

Information from travel suppliers

Resorts, airlines, and other suppliers may send us booking confirmations and updates about your reservations.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To answer your questions and send the resort recommendations and quotes you ask for.
• To book and manage your wedding, travel, and group room reservations.
• To process payments and send confirmations, reminders, and travel documents.
• To send promotional emails — only if you've signed up to receive them.
• To improve our website and understand which pages are helpful.
• To meet legal, tax, and California Seller of Travel record-keeping requirements.

4. How We Share Your Information

• Travel suppliers: resorts, hotels, airlines, transfer companies, and travel-insurance providers receive the details they need to provide the services you book.
• Service providers: companies that help us run our business — such as website hosting, email, and payment processing — and that may use your information only to provide those services to us.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights and safety of our clients and business.
• Business transfers: if our business is sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner under this same policy.

5. Cookies & Analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to keep our website working, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site. We do not use cookies to store sensitive personal information such as payment details.

We use these third-party tools, which may set their own cookies:

• Google Analytics — to measure site traffic. Opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Google Ads — to measure our ads and show relevant ads on other websites. Manage this in Google's My Ad Center.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not work without them.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no common industry standard for these signals, and our website does not currently respond to them.

6. Emails & Promotions

We use your email address to respond to your inquiry and manage your booking. We'll only send promotions and special offers if you sign up for them. Every promotional email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time — you'll still receive messages about bookings you've made.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our website uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we take protecting your information seriously.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal, tax, accounting, and California Seller of Travel record-keeping requirements. After that, we securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Your Rights & Choices

You can ask us to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct or update information that is inaccurate.
• Delete your information, unless we must keep it to complete a booking or meet a legal requirement.
• Stop promotional emails at any time.

To make a request, contact us. To protect your privacy, we'll verify your identity before acting on a request.

10. California Residents

We are based in California and follow the California Online Privacy Protection Act. Under California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code §1798.83), California residents may ask whether we shared personal information with third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes in the prior year. We do not share personal information for that purpose. If you have questions about your privacy rights under California law, contact us.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from them. When a parent, guardian, or group organizer books travel that includes a minor, we collect the minor's details from that adult only as needed to complete the booking.

12. Other Websites

Our website links to resort, supplier, and social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
