Privacy Policy
Alpaca Expeditions is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information you provide when using our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information obtained when you visit or interact with this website.
This Privacy Policy applies only to this website and does not cover third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked from our pages.
Privacy Policy Promise
Information allows us to provide travelers with better service, but maintaining the trust of our customers is equally important. At Alpaca Expeditions, we are committed to handling personal information responsibly and using it only for legitimate business and service-related purposes.
Our commitment to our customers includes the following:
- Any personal or customer information provided to us will be handled according to appropriate security and confidentiality standards.
- We will collect and use only the information reasonably necessary to provide our services, manage reservations, communicate with travelers, improve our services, inform customers about relevant products or opportunities, and operate our business.
- Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require the information to perform their duties and who are expected to follow our privacy and data-handling procedures.
- We will not disclose your personal information to external organizations unless you have authorized us to do so, the disclosure is necessary to provide a requested service, or we are legally required to provide the information.
- We maintain appropriate control over the personal information entrusted to us. In certain circumstances, when a customer has expressed interest in a service or product offered by another reputable company, information may be shared with that organization when appropriate. The privacy practices of those third-party companies are governed by their own privacy policies and not by this Privacy Policy.
- When Alpaca Expeditions works with third-party organizations that provide operational, technical, administrative, or other support services, we expect those providers to maintain appropriate standards for protecting personal information.
