- *Communications:** messages, emails, and notes from calls or meetings
- *Marketing preferences:** newsletter signups and communication choices
*Travel Companion / Group Member Information:**
If you provide personal information about other travelers (e.g., group members), you represent that you have authority to share it and have provided them this Privacy Policy or obtained their consent where required.

3) How We Use Information
We use information to:
- provide, operate, and improve the Services
- prepare quotes and coordinate trip planning, booking, and support
- communicate with you about your trip, your requests, and customer service
- process payments and maintain accounting records
- understand Site usage and improve performance and user experience
- send marketing communications (you can opt out anytime)
- secure the Site, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements

*Note on analytics:** We may use site analytics to understand how visitors use our Site (e.g., traffic, page performance). We do not currently use analytics data to directly target sales outreach to individual visitors.
---
4) How We Share Information
We may share information in the following circumstances:
A) With Travel Suppliers and Fulfillment Partners
To fulfill travel services, we share necessary information with suppliers and partners involved in your itinerary (e.g., lodging, airlines, transportation, activities, insurance providers). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
B) With Service Providers
We share information with vendors who perform services for us, such as:
- website hosting and IT
- communications and email tools
- analytics providers
- customer relationship management (CRM) tools (if/when used)
- fraud prevention and security services
They are authorized to use information only as needed to provide services to us.
C) Reservation and Payment Processing (WeTravel / Stripe)
Payments and reservations may be handled through **WeTravel**, with payments processed by **Stripe**. These providers may collect and process your payment information under their own privacy and security practices. We receive transaction-related details needed for customer support and accounting (for example, confirmation of payment, amount, date, and associated reservation details).

We may disclose information to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights, property, and safety of Skigroup, our customers, or others.

F) With Your Consent
We may share information when you direct us or provide consent.

We do not intentionally store full payment card numbers on our own systems. Payments are processed via third-party platforms (such as WeTravel and Stripe). We may retain limited transaction information (e.g., payment status, timestamps, totals, and reservation identifiers) for customer service, reconciliation, and legal/accounting purposes.
