This Privacy Policy applies to the website avancecollective.org and governs its data collection, usage and services. This Privacy Policy discloses how we collect, protect, use and share information gathered about you on our website.

Non-personal and aggregated information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we log general data, such as your domain name, the name of the web page from which you entered our website, which pages you visit on our website, and how much time you spend on each page. We use this information to monitor and improve our website and for internal analysis.

Use of cookies

Our website may use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience, such as recognizing your name when you revisit. A cookie is a text file that is anonymously placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. We will not share or sell non-aggregated information contained within cookies with any third party. You also have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our website or have some of our services, such as planning a cruise, making a reservation, or being automatically recognized as a registered user, function properly.

Personal information you provide

You can use our website without divulging any personally identifiable information including your email address. Our website does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis, for example when registering at our website, requesting a brochure, requesting pricing, or accessing reservation details, cruise history or a booking application. avancecollective.org uses such information collected to improve and customize the content you see, to provide the products, services or benefits you request, and to contact you about special promotions and new products.

To the extent third parties assist avancecollective.org in the provision of products or services, those third parties have no independent rights to the data, and have agreed to adhere to the avancecollective.org Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personal information, we will notify you by sending you an e-mail at the last e-mail address that you provided us and/or by posting notice of the changes on avancecollective.org.
