Anchor & Sea by Dream Vacations is an independently owned and operated Dream Vacations franchise, run by Binary Maverick, LLC. This page explains, in plain language, what information this website (anchorandsea.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. Questions? Email mlevesque@dreamvacations.comor call (864) 705-5140.

Information you give me

Trip requests and contact forms

When you send a trip request or message, I receive what you enter, such as your name, email, phone number and trip details. If you used the chat assistant first, that conversation is included so I can pick up where it left off. Your message is delivered to my email through Resend, an email service. I use it to answer you and plan your trip. When you book, I share the details needed to make the reservation with Dream Vacations and the travel suppliers involved, such as cruise lines, resorts, tour companies and insurers.

If you sign up, your email address is kept on my mailing list (stored with Resend and in a private file on my web host) and used only to send the newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also email me to be removed.

Chat assistant

Questions you type into the chat assistant are sent to Anthropic, which provides the AI that writes the replies. A copy of each question and answer is saved, without your IP address, so I can follow up and improve the assistant. The conversation is also kept in your browser until you close the tab. Please don’t enter payment details, passport numbers or other sensitive information in the chat.

Information collected automatically

Microsoft Clarity

This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use it, so I can make it better. Clarity uses cookies and similar technology to record things like the pages you visit, where you click and scroll, and your device and browser type, and it can create session replays and heatmaps. Text you type into forms is masked and isn’t recorded. Microsoft processes this data under theMicrosoft Privacy Statement. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

YouTube videos

Some pages show a video from my YouTube channel. Until you press play, only a still image is shown and nothing is loaded from YouTube’s player. When you press play, the video plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, and Google processes data about your viewing under theGoogle Privacy Policy.

Web host and spam protection

Like most websites, my web host keeps standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and troubleshooting. To stop spam, the forms keep a short-lived, scrambled (hashed) record of your IP address to limit how many times they can be sent in a few minutes.

Links to other sites

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link, Amazon may set cookies to credit the purchase; I don’t receive your name or what else you buy. Links to my Dream Vacations booking site, cruise lines, resorts, card issuers and other sites are covered by their own privacy policies.

What I don’t do

I don’t sell your personal information, and I don’t share it with anyone for their own marketing. I only share it as described above, or when required by law.

Your choices

You can ask me to see, correct or delete the information I have about you, or to stop contacting you, by emailingmlevesque@dreamvacations.com. Booking records held by Dream Vacations and travel suppliers are covered by their own policies, and some records must be kept for legal or accounting reasons.

Children

This website isn’t directed to children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect information from them. Trips for families are booked through a parent or guardian.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, I’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
