1. Introduction

VoyageLux Travel & Hospitality ("we," "us," or "our") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children who may interact with our services, websites, or travel experiences. We recognize the importance of safeguarding children's personal information and are dedicated to complying with applicable privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other relevant global regulations.

Key Commitment: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in jurisdictions with higher age thresholds) without verifiable parental consent. All travel bookings and profiles involving minors are managed exclusively by parents or legal guardians.

2. Scope & Applicability

This Children's Privacy Policy applies to:

  • Our website (voyagelux.com) and mobile applications
  • Family travel packages, youth programs, and resort activities
  • Parental accounts linked to minor travelers
  • Email communications, booking confirmations, and travel documentation involving children

This policy works in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict, the more protective provision shall apply to children's data.

3. Information We Collect

We only collect information about children when provided directly by a parent or legal guardian during the booking or registration process. This may include:

  • Identifying Information: Full name, date of birth, gender, and passport/ID numbers (required for international travel)
  • Travel Details: Seat preferences, dietary restrictions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and special assistance requirements
  • Guardian Information: Parent/guardian names, contact details, billing information, and consent declarations

We do not collect geolocation data, audio/video recordings, or behavioral tracking from children through our digital platforms.

4. How We Use Information

Children's information is used strictly for the following purposes:

  • Processing travel reservations, visas, and immigration documentation
  • Ensuring safety, compliance, and personalized care during trips
  • Coordinating with airlines, hotels, and ground transport providers
  • Communicating important travel updates to parents/guardians
  • Complying with legal obligations and health/safety regulations

6. Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent children's personal information. We may share data only with trusted service providers essential to fulfilling your travel itinerary, including:

  • Airlines, cruise lines, and hotel partners
  • Ground transportation and tour operators
  • Travel insurance and medical emergency services
  • Government/immigration authorities (as legally required)

All third parties are contractually bound to protect children's data and use it solely for the stated travel purposes.

7. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards to protect children's data, including:

  • End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
  • Strict access controls limited to authorized travel coordinators
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Secure deletion protocols when data is no longer needed

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your child's personal information
  • Opt out of non-essential communications
  • Request a data portability file
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

We honor all valid requests within the timeframes mandated by applicable law.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Children's Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered parents/guardians and posted on this page with an updated effective date.
