Treasures of Europe Tours may also use third-party services such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to communicate and interact with the public. You may encounter these services as separate websites (for example, Treasure of Europe’s Facebook page or applications embedded within the Treasure of Europe’s website). These services are controlled and operated by third parties, and are not our websites or applications. By interacting with us through these third-party services, you may be providing third parties access to your personal information, which they could use to distinguish or trace your identity. Any information collected by a third-party service is subject to the privacy policies of the third-party service provider. These third-party services may use persistent cookies.

Generally, the Treasures of Europe Tours does not collect, disseminate, or maintain any personally identifiable information that you make available through these third-party services, except in limited instances as permitted by the FTC or applicable law. Any such third-party services are meant as a supplement to Treasure of Europe Tour’s traditional marketing and communication efforts, including mail, email, print media, advertising, personal communication and communication by phone  If you want to communicate with us, please use these traditional channels to contact us.

Why We Ask for Certain Information  When you reserve your tour through our website or by contacting us directly we will ask you for basic information (such as your name, phone number and contact info). This will enable us to identify you and process your reservation. We will also ask you to confirm that you are physically and mentally able to participate in our tours. After the booking is confirmed, we will ask you to provide us with additional information so we can understand your interests and needs and do our best to accommodate you on the road.

For example, we may require information about your dietary requirements and preferences so we can be aware of them during the tour. We may ask you about your age as well as physical and health matters to help us be aware of any issues while we’re on the road together.

We may ask you specifics about the kinds of items you are interested in purchasing if you join one of our antiques tours, as well as your preferences for periods, styles, looks, materials, etc.

In addition, we will be requesting that you provide us with your flight information (for overall coordination and airport transfers), contact information (for someone at home, in case we need to help you reach them during the trip), as well as passport information (for security reasons).

We will not release your address, email address, preferences or other personal data to any outside company or entity, except as required by law. This means specifically, that we will not share your name, address or other personal identifiers with marketers, advertisers, charities or others who would be using the information for purposes outside the operation of our business.
