Privacy Policy

At InVETColombia LLC, we’re passionate about inspiring you through Spanish learning and cultural adventures in Colombia, and we’re just as committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, book a tour, or connect with us. We aim to keep things clear and simple, so you can focus on planning your Colombian journey. If you’ve got questions, reach out to us—we’re here to help!

Information We Collect

We gather some info to make your experience with InVETColombia smooth and personalized. When you browse our site, we might collect your IP address or browser type through cookies to improve our website’s vibe. If you sign up for a tour or newsletter, we ask for your name, email, and phone number to keep you in the loop. Booking a tour means we’ll need extra details like your passport info, travel preferences, or dietary needs to tailor your adventure, maybe even your level of Spanish for class placement. If you contact us or join our volunteer programs, we might collect additional info like your interests or skills to match you with the right project.

How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us bring Colombia’s magic to life. We use your contact info to send booking confirmations, tour updates, or that “qué chévere” welcome email with your itinerary. Your travel preferences let us customize your experience, like picking the perfect homestay in Medellín or Leticia. We analyze website usage to make our site better, so you can easily find that salsa tour in Cali. If you opt in, we’ll send you newsletters about new tours or Colombian culture, but you can unsubscribe anytime. We might use anonymized data to improve our programs, like figuring out which cooking class is a hit.

Sharing Your Information

We don’t sell your info—period. We share it only when necessary to make your tour happen, like with our trusted partners, such as language schools, homestay families, or tour guides in Cartagena or the Amazon, who follow strict privacy standards. If you join a volunteer project, we might share your name and skills with community organizations to coordinate your work. We may disclose info if required by law, like for travel permits, or to protect our rights, but we’ll keep it minimal. Your data stays safe with us, just like you do on our treks.

Data Security

We take your privacy seriously, using secure servers and encryption to protect your info, whether it’s your passport number or email. Our website’s got safeguards to keep hackers at bay, but no system’s 100% foolproof, so we’re always updating our protections. Your data’s stored in the US, and we only keep it as long as needed for your tour or legal purposes, then we securely delete it. If you’re practicing Spanish with a homestay family, we ensure they’re vetted and respect your privacy too.

Your Rights

You’ve got control over your info. Want to see what data we have? Just ask, and we’ll share it within a month, no charge. You can update or correct your details, like if your email changes, or request we delete your info after your tour’s done. If you’re getting our newsletters but want out, hit unsubscribe, and we’ll stop, no hard feelings. If you’re in a region with specific privacy laws, like GDPR for EU folks, we’ll honor your rights to access, restrict, or port your data—just let us know.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to make your browsing smoother, like remembering your tour preferences or tracking how you found our site. These are small files that help us improve your experience, but you can turn them off in your browser settings if you prefer. We might use analytics tools to see which tours, like our Amazon odyssey, are trending, but this data’s anonymized. No sneaky tracking here—we’re all about transparency, like a clear Caribbean beach.

Changes to This Policy

We might tweak this policy as our tours evolve, like adding a new salsa class in Barranquilla. If we make big changes, we’ll post them on our site or email you, so you’re never caught off guard. Check back here to stay in the know, especially before booking your next adventure.
