Bucket List Vacations Privacy Policy

Bucket List Vacations is committed to help you understand how we try to protect your privacy.  We have taken many steps trying to help safeguard customer information we obtain.

This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") seeks to inform you of our policies and practices and choices you can make about how your information is collected and how that information is used. This is a policy, stating what we try to do. It is not a contract obligation on our part. However, pursuant to this policy you grant certain consents, licenses and exclusions and limitations of liability.

You previously provided some personal information to Bucket List Vacations. Use of this Site requires disclosure of personal information.
