Privacy policy

We collect the minimum we need to run your trip safely, and we are careful with anything sensitive you tell us.

Last updated August 2026

01 · What we collect

Contact and account details, booking and payment records, traveller details (name, date of birth, dietary and accessibility notes, emergency contact) and optional profile information you choose to share with your group.

02 · Sensitive information

Some details — dietary, accessibility or health notes, and the fact that you are travelling with an LGBTQIA+ operator — are sensitive. We collect them only with your consent, use them only to run your trip safely, and share them with suppliers strictly on a need-to-know basis.

03 · Why we use it

To take and manage bookings, process payments and instalments, allocate rooming, send trip communications, provide support before and during travel, meet legal obligations and improve our trips.

04 · Group visibility

Your profile is only visible to other travellers on the same trip if you opt in. You can turn that off at any time in your traveller app profile.

05 · Who we share with

Payment processing (Stripe), accommodation and activity suppliers for your specific trip, our hosts, and technology providers who host the platform. We do not sell your data.

06 · Storage and security

Data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with access controls and row-level security. Access is limited to staff and hosts who need it for your trip.

07 · Retention

Booking and payment records are kept as long as required for tax and legal purposes. Profile data is kept while your account is active.

08 · Your rights

You can request access to or correction of your information, withdraw consent for optional uses, or ask us to delete your account. Email hello@gaysocialtrips.com and we'll respond within a reasonable time.

09 · Cookies

We use essential cookies for sign-in and booking, plus limited analytics to understand how the site is used.
