Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 29, 2026

Megan Nelson Travel respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit megannelsontravel.com, subscribe to my email newsletter, contact me, or choose to work with me on travel planning and bookings.

Information Collected Through This Website

Depending on how you interact with megannelsontravel.com, I may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Information submitted when you subscribe to my email newsletter

  • Information you provide when contacting Megan Nelson Travel

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse the website.

The website and its service providers may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser or device type, pages visited, and other website usage information through cookies or similar technologies.

Email Newsletter and Mailchimp

Megan Nelson Travel uses Mailchimp, a service provided by Intuit, to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters and marketing communications.

If you choose to subscribe, information such as your email address and any other information you provide through the signup form may be stored and processed by Mailchimp on my behalf.

I may use this information to send:

  • Travel inspiration and destination ideas

  • Hotel and resort recommendations

  • Travel tips and guides

  • Megan Nelson Travel news and updates

  • Information about my travel-planning services

You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email.

Mailchimp processes information according to its own privacy policies and data-processing practices.

I will not add you to my marketing email list simply because you submit a travel inquiry or work with me on a trip unless you separately choose to subscribe or otherwise provide appropriate consent.

Travel Inquiries and Fora

Megan Nelson Travel operates as an independent travel advisor affiliated with Fora Travel, Inc.

When you click a link on megannelsontravel.com to inquire about or begin planning a trip, you may be directed to a secure intake form hosted and operated by Fora.

The Fora intake form may request information such as your:

  • Name and contact information

  • Date of birth

  • Location

  • Communication preferences

  • Travel preferences

  • Hotel preferences

  • Trip ideas and other information relevant to working together

Because this form is hosted by Fora, information submitted through it is collected and processed through Fora's systems and is subject to Fora's privacy practices in addition to its use by me as your travel advisor.

I may access and use information you submit through Fora when reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, create recommendations, plan your trip, make or manage travel arrangements, and provide travel-advisory services.

Information Used for Travel Planning and Booking

If you choose to work with Megan Nelson Travel, additional traveler information may be required to research or book certain travel services.

Depending on the trip and supplier requirements, this may include information such as traveler names, dates of birth, loyalty-program information, travel preferences, dietary or accessibility requests, passport details, or other information required to complete a reservation.

I only request or use this information when reasonably necessary to provide the travel services you have requested.

Information necessary for a booking may be shared with Fora and with applicable travel suppliers, including hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators, destination management companies, transportation providers, travel insurance providers, and other companies involved in your itinerary.

These companies maintain their own privacy practices, and information provided to them may be subject to their respective privacy policies.

Once you leave megannelsontravel.com, the collection and use of your information is governed by the privacy practices of the website or service you visit.

Megan Nelson Travel is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Data Retention

I retain personal information available to Megan Nelson Travel for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, maintain appropriate travel and business records, fulfill legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and support legitimate business purposes.

Information stored by third-party services such as Fora and Mailchimp may also be retained according to their respective retention policies.

Data Security

I take reasonable administrative and technical precautions to protect personal information entrusted to Megan Nelson Travel.

However, no website, email system, electronic transmission, or data-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children's Privacy

Megannelsontravel.com and Megan Nelson Travel's marketing communications are intended for adults and are not directed toward children under 13.

I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website or my newsletter.

If information about a child is necessary for family travel arrangements, it should be provided by the child's parent or legal guardian through the appropriate travel-planning or booking system.

International Travel

Travel planning frequently involves companies located outside the United States.

If you request international travel arrangements, information reasonably necessary to provide those services may be transmitted to or processed by travel suppliers in other countries. Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from those in the United States.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my services, website, technology, third-party providers, or legal requirements.

When this policy is updated, the effective date at the top of the page will be revised.
