4. Who we share it with
We share only what is needed with: hotels, guides, drivers and local partners who deliver your trip; partner agencies that booked your trip on your behalf; and service providers that work for us under data processing agreements. These include website hosting and maintenance providers, forms (Fillout), booking software (FareHarbor), trip records (Airtable), email and CRM (Google Workspace, Streak, ActiveCampaign), phone and AI calling (JustCall, which runs our AI assistant Athena, set up and maintained by AI Operator), scheduling (Calendly), automation (Zapier), payments (Stripe, Flywire), an AI assistant our team uses for trip planning and internal work (Claude, by Anthropic) and our accountant.
We never sell your data. Our team may use AI tools (Claude) to help plan trips. We share with them only the trip details needed for that, never payment details, passport data or health information.
5. Transfers outside the EU
Some of these providers are based in the United States. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Calls and our AI assistant
After you send an enquiry, our AI assistant "Athena" or a member of our team may call you. Athena is an AI, and it will tell you so at the start of the call. Athena only calls people who have sent us an enquiry or already work with us. Calls may be recorded and transcribed so that our team can follow up accurately. You can ask to speak to a person, or not to be recorded, at any time.
