Privacy Policy | Halcyon Skyways Travel Co.

Halcyon Skyways Travel Co. (\"Halcyon Skyways,\" \"we,\" \"us\") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through worldwideskypaths.com and our travel‑planning services, how we use it, and the choices you have. We follow the principles of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who we are

Halcyon Skyways Travel Co. is a private travel‑design studio based at 4161 Black Oak Hollow Road, Sunnyvale, California 94086, United States. Our founder and data controller is Franklin Beach. For any privacy enquiry you can write to support@worldwideskypaths.com or call +1 (408) 746‑6668.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us — your name, email, telephone, mailing address, dates of birth, passport details, dietary and accessibility preferences, travel history, and any details you share for the purpose of planning a trip.
Information collected automatically — IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and aggregated analytics. We use a small set of cookies, described in our Cookie Notice.
Information from third parties — confirmations from hotels, airlines, and ground operators with whom we book on your behalf.

3. How we use it

To design, book, and support the journeys you ask us to plan.
To communicate with you about your trip and our services.
To send our journal and dispatches, if you have opted in.
To meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
To improve the security, performance, and usefulness of our website.

4. Legal basis (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on contract performance (planning your trip), legitimate interests (improving our services and protecting our site), legal obligation (tax and travel records), and consent (newsletter and non‑essential cookies).

5. Sharing

We share information only with the airlines, hotels, guides, insurers, and ground operators required to deliver your itinerary; with service providers such as our email host and analytics provider, bound by confidentiality; and where required by law. We do not sell personal information and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months.

6. Retention

We keep trip records for seven years for accounting and warranty reasons, then destroy them. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; object to processing; or withdraw consent. California residents have the additional rights described in the CCPA, including the right to know and the right to opt out of sale (which we do not do). Write to support@worldwideskypaths.com and we will respond within thirty days.

8. Children

Our services are not directed to children under thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. International transfers

To deliver a trip, your data may be transferred to suppliers outside your country. We rely on standard contractual clauses where required.

10. Security

We use TLS encryption in transit, access controls, and limited staff access to personal information. No system is perfectly secure, and we will notify affected travellers and authorities promptly in the unlikely event of a qualifying breach.

11. Changes

If we materially change this policy we will update the date above and, for active clients, notify you by email.
