Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how The Travel Spark Company LLC handles personal information in connection with Tourism Bar Harbor. It covers this website and the communications you choose to send or request through it.

Information you provide

When you send a contact message, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you provide. We use that information to read, manage and respond to your request. Sending a contact message does not subscribe you to marketing emails. Please do not include sensitive identity, payment or health information that is unnecessary to your request.

If you subscribe to email updates, your email address and subscription preferences are used to send the updates you request and manage your subscription. You can unsubscribe through the link in those messages. We may retain a limited suppression record to respect an unsubscribe request.

Information generated through use

Hosting and security services may process technical information such as an IP address, browser information, request time and requested page to deliver the site, detect abuse and investigate faults. The contact service uses a short-lived, hashed rate-control record to reduce automated abuse. We do not ask visitors to create an account to read the guides.

Travel listings and external links

Tour and accommodation features may load product information and images supplied by third-party travel services. These services can receive technical connection information when their resources load. Booking links may include affiliate identifiers that allow a provider to attribute a referral and pay a commission. When you follow a link, use an embedded service or book elsewhere, the relevant provider’s privacy policy and terms also apply.

We do not collect payment-card details or complete your travel reservation on this guide. Booking providers manage their own checkout, payment, availability and customer-service systems. Review their policies before sharing information with them.

Email and service providers

We use service providers to host and protect the website and to process communications. Brevo provides email infrastructure for contact delivery and requested updates. Providers receive information needed to perform their services and may process it in countries other than the one where you live. Applicable contractual and legal protections may apply to those transfers.

Cookies and browser storage

The site and its travel features may use cookies or browser storage for essential functionality, security, service preferences and remembering choices such as dismissing a panel. Additional services can have their own storage behavior. Where consent is required for nonessential technologies, the applicable consent choice must be obtained before their use. You can manage cookies through your browser, although blocking necessary storage may affect some features.

Why information is used

Information is used to provide requested content and communications, operate the guide, maintain security, respond to questions, manage subscription choices and meet applicable obligations. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, processing may rely on your consent, steps requested by you, legitimate operational interests or legal obligations. We do not sell contact-form messages or use them to enroll you in marketing without your choice.

Retention and security

We retain information for the period reasonably needed for its purpose, including follow-up, security, recordkeeping and applicable legal obligations, then delete or minimize it as appropriate. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures and limit unnecessary collection.

Your choices and requests

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Use the Contact page to make a request. We may need proportionate information to verify the request and may retain information where legally required. You may also have the right to contact your local data-protection authority.

Children and other websites

This guide is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children submitting personal information independently. If you believe a child has provided information that should be removed, contact us. Links to other websites do not make us responsible for those websites’ practices.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the site or applicable requirements. The version displayed here applies to current use. Questions about this policy or your information can be sent through the Contact page.
