Java Travel USA is operated by Eva Kingsley. We are an independent contractor of Archer Travel Inc. and are currently in the process of filing as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the State of Louisiana.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with high-quality concierge travel planning and specialized scuba diving itineraries, we collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you. We primarily collect this information through Google Forms and other communication tools used to plan your trips (such as email, phone, text, or social messaging, depending on how you contact us).

- Specialty Data: Scuba diving certification levels, dive insurance details, and equipment sizes (for scuba-specific travel).

3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. However, we must share your data with certain third parties to fulfill our services:
- Host Agency: As an independent contractor of Archer Travel Inc., certain booking data is processed through their systems to finalize reservations.
- Travel Vendors: We share necessary details with airlines, hotels, tour operators, and dive shops (such as Salty Endeavors or DEMA-associated vendors) to secure your bookings.

4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
Our website contains blog posts with affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link, a cookie may be placed on your browser by the affiliate partner to track the referral for commission purposes. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the third-party service provider may collect data to track the referral. Our website may also contain links to external vendor websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties and encourage you to read their respective policies.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. When you submit sensitive data (like credit card info for Square payments), that information is encrypted and transmitted securely. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
