Privacy Policy
Seaside Voyager respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights under New Zealand law. It applies to all visitors to seasidevoyager.com. We are an independent guide, not a cruise line or booking agency, so the information we handle is limited to what you choose to share and what our site needs to operate smoothly.

- Usage data — such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the time of your visit.
