We do not knowingly collect personal information from any child under the age specified by law in their jurisdiction unless a parent or guardian consents to Our collection and use of the personal information. If We collect personal information from children online, we do so in compliance with all applicable laws and adhere to the following steps to protect their privacy:

  • Notifying and obtaining consent from parents and legal guardians, in accordance with applicable law;

  • Limiting collection of personal information to no more than is reasonably necessary to participate in the online activity; and
  • Giving parents and legal guardians the ability to access their children’s personal information that We have collected and ability to request that their children’s personal information be deleted or modified.
  • If you believe that We might have inadvertently collected information from a child without appropriate parental or guardian consent, please contact us at privacy@margaritavilleatsea.com so that We may delete the information as soon as possible.
  • When We collect personal information about children, which is typically obtained from information provided by a parent or legal guardian, travel agent or other travel partner, We process that information in a manner consistent with applicable laws aimed at protecting the privacy of children’s data.
