Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. Data Controller

The party responsible for data processing on this website (dmc.couragetravels.com) is:

Courage Travels S.R.L.
 Represented by Lara Fischer, General Manager
 RNC: 1-33-50760-9
 Calle Principal B6-B, La Mulata III, 57000 Sosúa, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
 Email: lara@couragetravels.com | Phone: +1 849 506 6224

The data controller alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, contact details).

2. Hosting and SSL/TLS Encryption

This website is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, Switzerland. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser's address bar and the lock icon.

3. Server Log Files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in the technically error-free operation and security of our website).

4. Contact Form and Email Inquiries

Data you submit through our contact form, including your name, email address, phone number and message, is stored to process your inquiry and to be available for follow-up questions. The form submission is sent to us by email. For this we use the email delivery service Brevo (operated by Sendinblue SAS, Paris, France), which transmits the message on our behalf and may temporarily store technical delivery data. We receive the message in our email inbox.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and, where your inquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent, except for service providers who process it on our behalf, such as our email delivery provider, under data processing terms.

We keep your data only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and to meet legal obligations, and we delete it on request. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address (and your name, if provided) to send you our newsletter. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time, using the link in every newsletter or by emailing us. Your data is deleted after you unsubscribe, except where we are legally required to keep it.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Technically necessary cookies (e.g. those required for the website to function) are set on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Other cookies, such as those used for analytics, are set only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You can monitor, restrict or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

7. Links to Social Media

Our website contains icons that link to our profiles on social media platforms (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). These are plain links. No data is transferred to these platforms when you visit our site. Data is only transmitted once you click a link and visit the respective platform, which is governed by that platform's own privacy policy.

8. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: to receive information about the data we store about you, its source, recipients and the purpose of processing.
  • Right to rectification, restriction and erasure: to have your data corrected, restricted or deleted.
  • Right to data portability: to receive data we process on the basis of your consent or a contract in a machine-readable format.
  • Right to object: to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
  • Right to withdraw consent: you may withdraw consent at any time by informal email. Processing carried out before the withdrawal remains lawful.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: you have the right to complain to the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence.

To exercise any of these rights, or for any questions about data protection, contact us at lara@couragetravels.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website or legal requirements change. The current version is always available on this page.
