Privacy Policy

FUTURE of SPACE (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit or use our website (https://futureofspace.io) or any related sites, applications, services, or tools (collectively, the “Site”).

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide Directly
  • Contact Information: When you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect your name,
    email address, and any other details you provide.
  • Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect a username, password, and relevant
    profile details to manage your bookings and user experience.
  • Special Requirements: For expedition cruises, we may collect dietary, medical, or accessibility
    information to accommodate your needs.
  • Content Submissions: Any data you include in comments, forum posts, surveys, or other content
    submissions on the Site.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
  • Log Data: Our servers automatically record information like IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to track
    browsing activities and improve your experience (see Section 7).
  • Device Information: Data about the device you use to access our Site (e.g., device ID, hardware
    model, operating system).

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

  • Service Provision: We use your information to facilitate bookings, provide customer support, and
    ensure smooth operations for your Voyage.
  • Personalization: We tailor content and recommendations based on your preferences and browsing
    history.
  • Communication: We respond to inquiries, send updates about bookings, and, if you opt in, share
    newsletters and promotional content.
  • Legal Compliance: We process your data to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal
    requests.
  • Analysis and Improvements: We review usage patterns to enhance our Site, troubleshoot technical
    issues, and improve user experience.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

  • Service Providers: We share information with third parties who assist in Site operations, such as hosting providers, analytics tools, payment processors, and expedition-related partners (e.g., transport, accommodations).
  • Business Transfers: Your information may be transferred in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Legal and Compliance: We may disclose data to government authorities, courts, or other third parties if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights and safety.

We require any third parties who handle your data on our behalf to adhere to security standards as stringent as
our own.

4. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Because we organize global expeditions, the personal information we collect may be transferred to, stored in,
and processed in countries outside your country of residence. We take appropriate measures—such as
Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful mechanisms—to safeguard these cross-border data transfers. To
learn more about these safeguards, contact us at space2sea@futureofspace.io.

5. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY

We store your data on secure servers with industry-standard encryption and access controls. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of personal information. While no system is 100% secure, we continuously evaluate and update our security measures.

6. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law (for example, tax and accounting obligations). Afterward, we securely delete or anonymize data. We may retain anonymized data indefinitely for statistical and research purposes, without further notice.

7. PAYMENT SECURITY

We take payment security seriously. As an e-commerce platform, we comply with the Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). These standards help us protect cardholder data and ensure secure processing, storage, and transmission of payment information. We partner with PCI DSS-compliant payment processors and do not store full payment card details on our servers. For questions about payment security, contact us at space2sea@futureofspace.io.

8. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including:
  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic Site functionality, such as maintaining your session or processing bookings.
  • Performance & Analytics Cookies: Help us analyze Site usage and improve performance.
  • Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and improve your user experience (e.g., language settings).
  • Advertising Cookies: Deliver personalized ads and track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit some Site functionality. For detailed instructions, see your browser’s help documentation or the “manage cookies” link on our Site.

10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data without verifiable parental consent. In certain rare cases (e.g., educational webinars), we may collect minimal information facilitated by an adult. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please notify us so we can delete it.
