Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests.

How to File a GDPR Complaint

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. The General Data Protection Regulation also gives you the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live, or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred.

Where Your Personal Data Is Held

Personal Data may be held at our offices and those of our affiliates, parent or related companies, third-party agencies, service providers, representatives, and agents as described below (see “Third-Party Use of Personal Information”).

When we employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

Legal Requirements: The Company may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation or to respond to requests from law enforcement or other government officials relating to investigations or alleged illegal activity or in connection with our own investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, in which case we may (and you hereby authorize us to) disclose information without subpoenas or warrants served on us, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of the Company, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Website or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability, including to resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our customer contracts.

The Website may share your information with third parties when you explicitly authorize us to share your information. Additionally, the Website may use third-party service providers to service various aspects of the Website. Each third-party service provider’s use of your personal information is dictated by their respective privacy policies. The Website currently uses the following third-party service providers:

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first- and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First-party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first- and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies, and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type
• Language of the website
• Web browser type
• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end-user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers, and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt in or opt out of this data collection, please visit the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page. You may also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website and the Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at the Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out. For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects, and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.

Anonymous Data

From time to time, the Company may use anonymous data, which does not identify you alone, or when combined with data from other parties. This type of anonymous data may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Examples of this anonymous data may include analytics or information collected from cookies.

Cookies

The Website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, and customize content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website. The cookie will collect information relating to your use of the Website, information about your device such as the device’s IP address and browser type, demographic data, and, if you arrived at the Website via a link from a third-party site, the URL of the linking page.

In addition to cookies, the Website may use web beacons. Web beacons allow us to count the number of users who have visited or accessed the Website and to recognize users by accessing our cookies. We may employ web beacons to facilitate Website administration and navigation, to track the actions of users of the Website, to compile aggregate statistics about Website usage and response rates, and to provide an enhanced online experience for visitors to the Website. We may also include web beacons in HTML-formatted email messages that we send to determine which email messages were opened. A web beacon is often invisible because it is only 1 x 1 pixel in size with no color. A web beacon can also be known as a web bug, 1-by-1 GIF, invisible GIF, and tracker GIF.

What Are the Different Types of Cookies and How Do We Use Them?

Essential — These are cookies which are essential for the running of the Website. Without these cookies, parts of the Website would not function. These cookies do not track where you have been on the internet and do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. Example: setting unique identifiers for each unique visitor, so that Website numbers can be analyzed.

Functional — These cookies are used to remember your preferences on the Website and to provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these cookies is usually anonymized, so we cannot identify you personally. Functional cookies do not track your internet usage or gather information which could be used for selling advertising. Examples: gathering data about visits to the Website, including numbers of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the Website, pages clicked on, or where visitors have come from; and eliminating the need for returning users to re-enter their login details.

Analytical Performance — Analytical performance cookies are used to monitor the performance of the Website, for example, to determine the number of page views and the number of unique users our Website has. We use this information to improve user experience or identify areas of the Website which may require maintenance. The information is anonymous (i.e., it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address) and it is only used for statistical purposes. Examples: measuring users’ behavior; and analyzing which pages are viewed and for how long, and which links are followed, to better develop the Website.

Advertising — Behavioral advertising cookies, which may be placed on your device by us or our trusted third-party service providers, remember that you have visited a website and use that information to provide you with advertising which is tailored to your interests. This is often called online behavioral advertising and is done by grouping together shared interests based upon web browsing history. Your web browsing history can be used to infer things about you (e.g., your age, gender, etc.), and this information may also be used to make advertising on websites more relevant to you. Although behavioral advertising cookies can track your activity around the internet, these cookies cannot identify you personally. Example: providing advertising to you and enabling us to manage our relationship with those advertisers by, for example, tracking how many unique users have seen a particular advertisement or followed a link in an advertisement.

Third-Party Cookies — You may notice on some pages of the Website that cookies have been set that are not related to us. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Facebook, these third-party service providers may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control the use of these third-party cookies and cannot access them due to the way that cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. Please check the third-party websites for more information about these cookies.

Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by the Website by using a corresponding setting of your internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already-set cookies may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. However, if you deactivate the setting of cookies in your internet browser, not all functions of our Website may be entirely usable.

How Can You Manage or Opt Out of Cookies?

Cookies, including those which have already been set, can be deleted from your hard drive. You can also change the preferences/settings in your web browser to control cookies. In some cases, you can choose to accept cookies from the primary site but block them from third parties. In others, you can block cookies from specific advertisers or clear out all cookies. Deleting or blocking cookies may reduce functionality of the Website. To learn more about how to reject cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org or go to the help menu within your internet browser. If you experience any problems having deleted cookies, you should contact the supplier of your web browser.

Advertising

Display Ads

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use cookies. No personally identifiable information is shared with the Website’s ad providers. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt in or opt out of this data collection, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

The Website uses Mediavine to manage all third-party advertising on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first- and third-party cookies.

Retargeting Ads

From time to time, the Website may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website. This means that, after visiting the Website, you may see an ad for our services. However, your personally identifiable information is not used by any remarketing service other than to present you offers from the Company. We use Facebook and Google for remarketing; you may opt out of Facebook and Google remarketing through each provider’s ad settings.

Sponsored Content Tracking Pixels

This Website may engage in sponsored campaigns with various influencer networks, brands, and agencies. All sponsored content is duly disclosed in accordance with the FTC’s requirements. From time to time, these sponsored campaigns utilize tracking pixels (aka web beacons), which may contain cookies to collect data regarding usage and audience. This information is collected by the sponsoring company to track the results of the campaign. As stated above, these pixels may capture your IP address on behalf of the content sponsor. No personally identifiable information collected by the Website is used in conjunction with these tracking pixels.

Affiliate Program Participation

The Website may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. The Company is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales.

Newsletters

On the Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, the Company may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. This also allows the Company to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

How Long Will Your Personal Information Be Kept

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us, or while we are providing products or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary: to respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by you or on your behalf; to show that we treated you fairly; and to keep records required by law. We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it.

Rights Related to Your Personal Information

Under laws in certain countries in which we operate, customers and other visitors to our Website from those countries have a right to access Personal Data about themselves, and to amend, correct, or delete Personal Data that is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. We will, upon request, provide you with confirmation regarding whether we are processing Personal Data about you, consistent with applicable law. In addition, upon your request, we will take reasonable steps to correct, amend, or delete your Personal Data that is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or processed in a manner non-compliant with this Privacy Policy or applicable law, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, where the rights of persons other than you would be violated, or where doing so is otherwise inconsistent with applicable law. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee to cover costs for providing copies of Personal Data that you request.

Please note that while any amendments, corrections, or deletions will be reflected in active user databases (as updated within a reasonable period of time), we may retain all Personal Data for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, and satisfaction of other legal obligations we reasonably believe applicable.

You authorize us to use and disclose any new or modified information that you provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you agree that we are under no obligation to delete or modify information that you have previously chosen to provide us as to which you have not instructed us to take such action. Please remember, however, that if we have already disclosed some of your Personal Data to third parties, we cannot access that Personal Data any longer and cannot force the deletion or modification of any such information by the parties to whom we have made those disclosures. We may retain your Personal Data to comply with laws, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our contracts, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Opt-out — If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email. You may “opt out” of receiving future commercial email communications from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included at the bottom of most emails we send, or as provided below; provided, however, we reserve the right to send you transactional emails such as customer service communications. You may also notify us at feedback@lidohoppers.com to be removed from our mailing list.

Access — You may request access to the personal information we have about you by submitting a request to feedback@lidohoppers.com.

Amend — You may contact us at feedback@lidohoppers.com to amend or update your personal information.

Forget — In certain situations, you may request that we erase or forget your Personal Data. To do so, please submit a request to feedback@lidohoppers.com. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes or to complete transactions, or when required by law.

California Residents

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights with respect to their personal information. For the purposes of this section, personal information is used as defined in the CCPA. The Company reserves the right to verify all requests made pursuant to the CCPA.

Access and Disclosure

You may make a verifiable request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources of the personal information we collected about you, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we share your personal information, our use of the personal information, and, if the personal information was disclosed or sold to third parties, the categories of personal information sold or disclosed. You also have the right to make a verifiable request for a copy of the personal information collected about you for the twelve (12) months prior to the date of your request. To see any categories of personal information we have sold in the last twelve (12) months or to opt out of the sale or disclosure of personal information, please refer to the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link found on each page of this Website. Please note that we are not required to retain any personal information about you that was collected for a single one-time transaction if, in the ordinary course of business, that information is not retained, or to reidentify or otherwise link any data that, in the ordinary course of business, is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that the Company delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the personal information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to: (1) complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; (2) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (3) debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (4) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law; (5) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et seq.); (6) engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent; (7) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; (8) comply with a legal obligation; or (9) make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Children Under 16

We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age.

No Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the access, disclosure, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by emailing feedback@lidohoppers.com, Attn: CCPA. You may only make a verifiable request for access or disclosure twice within a twelve (12) month period. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. To respond to your request or provide you with personal information, the Company must verify your identity or your authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, please refer to the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by emailing us at feedback@lidohoppers.com.

Timing

We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

Sensitive Personal Information

At no time should you submit sensitive personal information to the Website. This includes your social security number, information regarding race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, criminal background, or trade union memberships. If you elect to submit such information to us, it will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

Children’s Information (Website)

The Website does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If a parent or guardian believes that the Website has personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 16 in its database, please contact us immediately at feedback@lidohoppers.com and we will use our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

If you sign in using Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information from those providers, which may include your name, email address, and profile photo. We use this only to create and identify your account.

Booking Inquiry Data

If you submit a booking inquiry through the “Book with Christina” feature, we collect your name, contact information, and the travel details you provide. This information is forwarded to Christina, a licensed travel advisor affiliated with Bright Beans Media, LLC.

AI Usage Data

When you use AI-powered features (Cruise Trivia, Ask the Lido Hoppers, Scavenger Hunt), we log the feature used, the AI model, token counts, and estimated cost per request. These records are used to enforce daily usage limits and monitor for abuse. We retain them for up to 12 months.

Automatically Collected Information

Our hosting and database providers may automatically collect technical information including IP address, device type, operating system, app version, and general usage patterns.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

We process your information to: create and manage your account and verify your identity; store, sync, and back up your cruise data across your devices; deliver AI-powered features including trivia generation, the Ask the Lido Hoppers chat, and scavenger hunt generation; send push notifications you have requested, including group activity alerts, cruise check-in reminders, and personal calendar reminders at the date and time you specify; facilitate Hoppers Connect group features including shared chat, photo sharing, trivia, scavenger hunts, and meetups; forward booking inquiries to our travel advisor when you use the Book with Christina feature; enforce daily AI usage limits and prevent abuse; maintain the security and integrity of the App; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely On?

If you are located in the EU, UK, or Canada, we rely on the following legal bases. Consent: we process your information when you have given us permission, such as when you opt in to push notifications, and you may withdraw consent at any time. Performance of a Contract: we process information necessary to provide the App and its features. Legitimate Interests: we process information for security, fraud prevention, and service improvement where those interests are not overridden by your rights. Legal Obligations: we process information when required by applicable law.

4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Information?

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We share data only with the following service providers who process it on our behalf under written agreements.

• Supabase (supabase.com) — provides our database, authentication, file storage, and server-side edge functions. Your account data, cruise data, group content, and push notification tokens are stored in Supabase’s secure cloud infrastructure located in the United States.
• OneSignal (onesignal.com) — delivers push notifications. Your device subscription token is shared with OneSignal solely to send notifications you have requested.
• Anthropic (anthropic.com) — powers our AI features. When you use trivia generation, the Ask the Lido Hoppers chat, or scavenger hunt generation, your prompts and the AI responses are processed by Anthropic’s Claude AI models. We do not use your inputs to train AI models.
• Vercel (vercel.com) — hosts the application. Technical request data is processed by Vercel’s hosting infrastructure.
• Google (google.com) and Apple (apple.com) — provide authentication when you choose to sign in using those services. We receive only the profile data described in Section 1.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Do We Use Cookies or Tracking Technologies?

In the App, we do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, retargeting tools, or analytics platforms such as Google Analytics. The App uses browser local storage solely to maintain your session and preferences on your device. We do not track users across other websites or applications. (Note: the lidohoppers.com Website does use cookies and advertising technologies — see Part A.)

6. Do We Offer Artificial Intelligence Features?

Yes. The App includes three optional AI-powered features built on Anthropic’s Claude models: Cruise Trivia generates cruise-themed trivia questions; Ask the Lido Hoppers is a conversational chat for cruise advice and destination questions; and Scavenger Hunt generates custom ship scavenger hunt challenges. All three features are entirely optional. The App’s core cruise tracking and journaling features function without them. Daily usage limits apply to each feature and are enforced server-side. To opt out of AI features, simply choose not to use them.

7. How Do We Handle Social Sign-In?

If you register or log in using Google or Apple, we receive profile information from those providers (typically your name, email address, and profile photo). We use this information only to create and manage your Lido Hoppers account. We do not control how Google or Apple use your information — please review their respective privacy policies for details on their data practices.

8. Is Your Information Transferred Internationally?

Our service providers, including Supabase, Vercel, and Anthropic, are based in the United States. If you are located outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected in accordance with this notice and applicable law, including relying on appropriate transfer mechanisms for EEA and UK residents where required.

9. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your account and app data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account using the in-app deletion tool, we permanently delete your profile, cruise logs, packing lists, travel planning calendar events, badge progress, group data, chat history, and photos from our active systems. AI usage logs are retained for up to 12 months. Residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for a short period before being purged.

10. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), encrypted credential storage, database row-level security policies that restrict each user to their own data, and server-side processing of AI requests to prevent API key exposure. No electronic system is 100% secure. Use the App only in secure environments.

11. Do We Collect Information From Minors? (App)

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us personal information, contact us at feedback@lidohoppers.com and we will promptly delete it. By using the App, you represent that you are at least 13 years of age.

12. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information; withdraw consent to processing; obtain a copy of your data; or object to certain uses. To delete your account and all associated data permanently, use the in-app tool at Profile → Legal → Delete Account. For any other data request, email feedback@lidohoppers.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

13. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features (App)

The App does not use cross-site tracking technologies and does not respond to browser Do-Not-Track signals because it does not track users across third-party websites or services.

14. US Residents — App-Specific Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident or a resident of another US state with applicable privacy legislation, you have the right to know what personal information we collect through the App and how we use it, to request access to or deletion of your information, and to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
