Fantasize ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website fantasize.net, a free travel-planning and affiliate site. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us: When you subscribe to our briefing or ask us to email you a trip plan, we collect your email address (and optionally your first name) and the destination or cruise you entered. We store it securely and use it to send you the content you requested.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we and our analytics providers collect standard technical data when you visit — your IP address, device and browser type, referring page, the pages and features you use, and approximate location. We use this to operate the site, understand how it’s used, and measure our marketing.
We use cookies and similar technologies, including:
PHPSESSID) the site needs to function._ga) to measure how the site is used.You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings; some essential cookies are required for the site to work.
We use Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads to understand how visitors use Fantasize and to measure and improve our advertising. These tools may set cookies and collect usage data as described above. Google’s handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
Fantasize is free because we earn affiliate commissions. When you click through to a cruise line or booking partner (such as Cruisebound, CruiseDirect, or Expedia, including partners reached through Travelpayouts) and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you, and you pay the same price as booking direct. Those partners use cookies to attribute the booking to us. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
We use your email only to deliver what you asked for (our briefing or your trip plan), and we use technical and analytics data to run, secure, and improve the site and our advertising. We share data with the providers that help us operate — Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, Ads), our affiliate network (Travelpayouts), and our email and hosting providers — solely so they can perform those services. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We retain your email subscription data for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, your email is marked as inactive in our system. You may request permanent deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted database connections and secure server infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at hello@fantasize.net.
Fantasize.net is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
