Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Travel Spark Company LLC handles personal information in connection with Tourism Myrtle Beach at tourismmyrtlebeach.com. It covers this website and communications sent through its features. Separate websites and booking services have their own privacy notices.
Information you provide
When you contact us, we receive the information you enter in the form, which may include your name, email address, message and the page or issue you identify. We use it to handle the inquiry, investigate corrections, provide a response where appropriate and maintain relevant correspondence. Please do not send payment-card details, passwords, identification documents or sensitive personal information through the contact form.
If you subscribe to a newsletter, we receive your email address and records associated with your subscription, such as your preferences, consent and unsubscribe status. We use that information to manage the subscription and send the updates you request. Newsletter registration is separate from sending a contact message.
Information generated by website use
Website hosting and security systems process technical information when your device connects to the site. This can include an IP address, requested page, access time, browser information, referring page and records of errors or suspicious requests. This information helps deliver pages, diagnose problems, prevent abuse and protect the website.
Wordfence supports website security. Depending on the request and security feature involved, technical information may be processed to identify harmful traffic, investigate security events and maintain protection. Information about the service is available in Wordfence’s Privacy Policy.
Activity tools, accommodation links and affiliate referrals
TravelSpark features help display travel options and direct readers to external providers. Interacting with an activity search, recommendation feature or booking link may generate information such as the page viewed, search details, selected option, link interaction and technical request information. If a feature invites you to enter preferences or a question, the information you choose to submit is used to respond to that request and operate the feature. Avoid including sensitive information in travel-planning inputs.
Some links are affiliate links. We may receive a commission when you make a qualifying booking through them. Referral identifiers and related technologies may be used to attribute a visit or booking. An external provider may receive technical information when its content loads or when you follow a link to its service. Read the provider’s privacy notice and booking terms before sharing information or making a purchase there.
Booking and payment details you enter on an external provider’s website are handled under that provider’s arrangements. This website does not need your payment-card details to help you browse its editorial guides.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site and the services used in its features may use cookies, browser storage and similar technologies to support functionality, remember choices, maintain security and attribute referrals. The information involved depends on the feature you use and the choices available to you. A third party’s content or service can have its own technology and collection practices.
You can use your browser settings to manage cookies and stored website data. Where the site or a provider presents a privacy or cookie control, use that control to make the choices it offers. Blocking or clearing stored data may affect functionality or reset saved preferences. Browser controls do not necessarily remove information already held in service records.
Service providers and other disclosures
We use service providers for hosting, website operation, security and communications. They process information as needed to provide their services. Brevo supports newsletter delivery, subscription management and delivery of contact messages. Its role may involve storing contact and subscription records and processing delivery or interaction information associated with email features. See Brevo’s Privacy Policy for its own privacy information.
Information may also be disclosed when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to a lawful request, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, or manage a business transfer, subject to applicable law. We do not require readers to supply personal information in order to read the publicly available guides.
Retention and security
Retention depends on the reason information was collected. We consider whether an inquiry remains unresolved, whether a subscription is active, the need to maintain security and consent records, and applicable legal obligations. Some records may need to remain after a request is closed or a subscription ends, including information needed to respect an unsubscribe request or address a dispute. Backup and service-provider records may follow separate operational deletion cycles.
We use measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss and misuse. No website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Limit the information you submit to what is relevant to your request.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can stop newsletter emails using the unsubscribe link in an email. You can also contact us about subscription preferences or a privacy concern. Depending on the law that applies to you and the information involved, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may be able to withdraw that consent without affecting earlier processing.
To make a request, use the contact page and describe what you would like us to review. We may need information to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We will handle requests according to applicable requirements, including any permitted exceptions. You may also have a right to raise a concern with the privacy authority where you live.
International processing and children
The website and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have different privacy laws. The protections and transfer arrangements that apply depend on the service and applicable legal requirements.
This guide is intended for a general travel-planning audience, not for children to submit personal information independently. If you believe a child has provided personal information that should be removed, please contact us with enough detail to identify the submission.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the website’s features or information practices change. The policy published on this page explains the current practices described here; where applicable law requires additional notice or consent, those requirements apply. For questions about privacy or this policy, please use our contact page.
