At SMS on TOUR, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 2018, and applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws.
1. What Data We Collect
We only collect your email address when you provide it on our website. No other personal data is collected unless explicitly stated and agreed to by you.
2. How We Use Your Data
We will only use your email address to:
• Send you updates, newsletters, or promotional information related to our services.
• Respond to any inquiries or requests that you make.
• Improve our website and services based on your interactions.
We will not sell or share your data with third parties unless required by law or with your express permission.
We will continue to showcase products and services from reputable third party brands and manufacturers through email newsletters and other website content.
European Union and United Kingdom Privacy Compliance
We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 2018. These regulations protect the privacy and security of your personal data and provide you with certain rights over your information.
Your Rights under GDPR and UK GDPR:
• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct any incorrect or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data when it is no longer needed.
• Right to Restriction: You can request the restriction of processing under certain conditions.
• Right to Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@smsontour.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
United States Privacy Compliance
In the U.S., we comply with all applicable federal and state privacy laws to ensure the protection of your personal data. There is no overarching federal privacy law that covers all types of personal data so we intend to comply with relevant state-based policy. For example, for residents of states with specific data privacy laws, such as California, we comply with regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which provide additional rights over personal data, including:
• The right to know what personal data we collect and how it’s used.
• The right to request deletion of your data.
• The right to opt out of the sale of personal information.
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
Where certain state laws provide more stringent protections than federal laws, we will adhere to those standards. In the event of any conflict between federal and state laws, we will follow the law that provides the highest level of protection for your data.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We will not share your personal data with third parties unless it is necessary to provide you with the services you’ve requested, required by law, or you have explicitly given us permission. Third parties we may work with are obligated to protect your data and comply with applicable data protection regulations.
4. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your data is stored securely, and we use industry-standard security measures to protect it.
We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
5. Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
Depending on your location, you have different rights under applicable data protection laws (as outlined above). To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at info@smsontour.com.
