Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 28, 2026

At Elite Gold Escapes, we recognize that privacy is a critical concern for our high-net-worth clientele. This Privacy Policy comprehensively outlines the types of information we collect, how it is processed, with whom it is shared, and the robust measures we employ to safeguard your data when you use our website (www.elitegoldescapes.com) or engage our brokerage services.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our bespoke travel services, we collect data through both direct interactions and automated technologies.

1.1. Personal Information Provided by You

When you submit an inquiry, request an itinerary, or confirm a booking, we collect personally identifiable information (PII) necessary for travel facilitation. This may include:

  • Full legal names (as they appear on passports) of the Lead Guest and all travel companions.
  • Contact details including primary email addresses, physical billing addresses, and mobile telephone numbers.
  • Dates of birth and ages of minors in the travel party (required by the Resort for unit allocation and wristband tiering).
  • Travel itineraries, flight arrival/departure times, and flight numbers for ground transfer coordination.
  • Special requests, dietary restrictions, or self-disclosed accessibility requirements.

1.2. Automatically Collected Information & Analytics

When you navigate our digital portal, we automatically collect technical data regarding your device and browsing patterns. This includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
  • Usage data such as time spent on specific pages (e.g., The Cliff Villas gallery), referring websites, and interaction metrics.

2. How We Use Your Information

Elite Gold Escapes strictly limits the use of your personal data to core business operations and travel facilitation. We utilize your data to:

  • Execute reservations and secure your VIP inventory with Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club.
  • Coordinate third-party logistics, including airport transfers and private chef scheduling.
  • Communicate critical travel updates, itinerary modifications, and payment invoicing.
  • Analyze website traffic to improve digital user experience and optimize our luxury portfolio presentation.
  • Comply with legal obligations, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Elite Gold Escapes does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing, advertising, or data-broker entities. However, the nature of travel brokerage requires the necessary disclosure of your data to specific functional partners:

3.1. The Resort and Suppliers

To confirm your stay, we must transmit your name, contact details, travel dates, and party composition directly to the reservations department of Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club in the Dominican Republic. Once transferred, your data is subject to the Resort’s own privacy policies and local Dominican data protection laws.

3.2. Service Providers

We employ trusted third-party vendors to facilitate our operations. This includes Formspree (for secure transmission of inquiry forms), Vercel (for encrypted web hosting), and integrated payment processors. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only utilize your data to execute their specific functions.

3.3. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, subpoena, or if requested by government or law enforcement authorities (e.g., U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or Dominican Republic Immigration) for matters of national security, fraud investigation, or legal compliance.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website utilizes "cookies" and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that remember your preferences and session states.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality, such as submitting the inquiry form securely.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used to track aggregate visitor behavior, allowing us to understand which villa categories generate the most interest.

You have the ability to accept or decline non-essential cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality of our inquiry portal.

5. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Elite Gold Escapes is headquartered in the United States (Texas). By utilizing our services, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your personal information in the United States and the Dominican Republic. Data protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your country of residence.

6. Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute absolute security.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with tax and accounting legal requirements.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed toward individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from minors. Any information regarding minors (such as names and ages for travel manifests) must be provided explicitly by the parent or legal guardian serving as the Lead Guest.

8. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA / State Specific)

Depending on your state of residence (e.g., California, Texas, Virginia), you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • The right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The right to request the deletion or correction of your personal data.
