Privacy Policy

Hey, just wanted to let you know that we consider you more than just data. You’re our friends! And of course, your privacy is a big deal to us – no jokes about it! We’ve got your back.

When you shoot us an email, rest assured that we won’t be sharing the address you sent it from with anyone. Say goodbye to pesky mailing lists and a flooded inbox with spam. We’ve got your privacy covered – keeping all our visitors and users protected is what we’re all about! Before you start using our site, take a moment to familiarize yourself with how we do things. It’s important to know our practices so you can make the most out of your experience.

1.0 No Children’s Use

Our website isn’t meant for kids. In the US, that means anyone under 13 years old, and in the EU, it’s anyone under 16. If you’re under 18, be sure to have your parent or guardian agree to these terms for you. Safety first!

Hey kiddo, if you fall into the category of being a child according to the rules, sorry but you can’t use or share any info on this website. That means no signing up, making purchases, leaving comments or sharing personal deets with us. Keep it safe out there!

If we learn that we have received personal information from a child without parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at TravelTurtlesLLC@gmail.com

2.0 General Privacy Policy Information

2.1  Privacy Policy Modifications and Updates: Hey, just a heads up! We might make changes to our Privacy Policy whenever we need to. We’ll give you a heads up by posting a notice on the site 30 days before the changes take effect. And if we have your email address, we’ll send you an email too. You might or might not notice these changes, but we want to keep you in the loop!

2.2  Legal Disclosures of Personal Information: We might need to handle, keep, and share personal information if it’s required by law or if we genuinely believe that it’s necessary to follow the rules or comply with legal procedures; protect and defend our rights or property; or act under exigent circumstances to protect the safety of the public or users of the site.

2.3  DMCA Disclosures: We fully follow the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. If we receive a copyright complaint, we might have to share any relevant information we have about you with the person who submitted the complaint. It’s all part of our compliance process.

2.4.  Public Interaction with Others: When you engage with others on our website, like leaving comments on a post, just know that they might have access to some of your info. This could include things like your name, profile picture, and your past interactions with the site such as previous comments or posts. Just a friendly reminder: keep in mind that anything you share online isn’t exactly private. Whatever you put out there can be seen by pretty much anyone – your fam, pals, reporters, investigators, or even future employers who might snoop around during background checks. So be cautious about what you choose to make public!

2.5 Third Party Websites: We do include links to other websites here. But, it’s important to note that we don’t have any control over their privacy policies. So, make sure you take a look at those policies and understand them before sharing any personal information on those sites. It’s always better to play it safe!

2.6 Sale of Business: If we decide to sell part or all of this site or our business, just so you know, your personal information will be transferred to the new owner.

2.7 Affiliates: Just wanted to give you a heads up – this site does affiliate marketing. That basically means we might share special links given to us by the retailer, which helps us track any referrals made to their websites. And if you end up making a purchase through one of these links, we could earn an advertising fee. It’s all about supporting our work and keeping things going smoothly! This program uses cookies to keep track of your visits. This helps them figure out how much commission they should assign for any sales made through their site. No spamming is allowed, so if they do, it’s a total violation of their affiliate terms and privacy policy. If you experience anything like that, make sure to report it to Travel Turtles LLC right away!

3.0 For Our California Visitors: 

3.1  Do Not Track Signals: According to the California Online Privacy Protection Act, we want to be transparent with you. At the moment, we don’t pay attention to those Do Not Track signals from your browser or any other third-party sources.

3.2 California Eraser Law: If you are an individual under 18 and have provided personal information or content to us in some manner, you have the right to request the deletion of that information pursuant to the “California Eraser Law.”  Contact us to make such a request at Travel Turtles LLC.

4.0 Miscellaneous Legal 

4.1 Severability: If any part of this Privacy Policy is considered illegal or cannot be enforced, don’t worry. The rest of the policy will still be valid and have its regular impact.

4.2 Entire Agreement: This info is all you need to know about using our website. It’s the complete agreement between users and our company.

4.3 Law and Jurisdiction: We follow United States law for this Privacy Policy. If there’s any disagreement or issue regarding the information here, it will be resolved in the State of Maine.
