Privacy Policy

The Travel Club operates the travel membership platform at thetravelclub.ai. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information.

Last updated: September 18, 2026

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third parties.

  • Directly: name and email at registration, billing information when you book, travel preferences and search queries, and communications you send us.
  • Automatically: IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, referring URLs, and cookies.
  • From third parties: booking confirmation details from provider partners and payment verification data (we do not store full card numbers).

How we use your information

  • Process and confirm hotel and experience bookings.
  • Provide 24/7 support on every booking and send confirmations and itinerary updates.
  • Personalize search results based on your preferences.
  • Improve the platform through analytics, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

Information sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who fulfil your booking (hotels, transfer companies, experience operators), PCI-compliant payment processors, analytics services (aggregated and anonymized), and where required by law.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your search and currency preferences, and measure performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit some functionality.

Country and display currency

To show prices in a currency that makes sense for you, our web server looks up the country your IP address belongs to, using a country-level database stored on our own server. Only the two-letter country code is used: it is kept in a cookie for one day and is not combined with your account. No city or precise location is derived, and your IP address is not sent to a third party for this. You can change the currency at any time in the site header; your choice then takes precedence.

IP Geolocation by DB-IP

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Booking records may be kept up to 7 years for accounting and legal compliance, even after account deletion.

Your rights

  • Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correction — request we fix inaccurate information.
  • Deletion — request deletion (subject to legal retention).
  • Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Objection — object to processing for marketing.

Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, PCI-compliant payment processing, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Children's privacy

The platform is not intended for children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
