We do not provide client email lists to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without appropriate authorization.

8. Children's Privacy

Evans Family Travel specializes in family and multigenerational vacations. As part of arranging family travel, we may need information about children, including their names, ages, dates of birth, and travel documentation.

This information is collected from parents, legal guardians, or other authorized individuals and is used only as reasonably necessary to provide travel services.

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental authorization.

9. Third-Party Websites and Travel Suppliers

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including cruise lines, resorts, airlines, tour operators, and other travel-related businesses.

These third parties maintain their own privacy policies and data protection practices.

Evans Family Travel is not responsible for the privacy practices or security of websites and services operated independently by third parties.

We encourage clients to review the privacy policies of travel suppliers before submitting personal information.

10. International Travel and Data Transfers

Because travel arrangements frequently involve international destinations and suppliers, personal information may be transferred to or processed in countries outside the United States.

Privacy laws and data protection standards may differ between countries.

When arranging international travel, we may share necessary information with international suppliers, government authorities, or other organizations involved in providing your requested travel services.
