Privacy Policy: Antarctica Cruise Drop

Effective date: June 22, 2026 Last updated: June 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Distill, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as ABC Trips (“ABC Trips,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Antarctica Cruise Drop mobile application (the “App”). It applies only to the App. Your use of our website at abctrips.com is governed by the separate ABC Trips Terms of Use + Privacy Policy.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you request a hold on a Drop or otherwise contact us through the App, you provide personal information including your name, email address, and phone number, along with the details of the offer you are requesting and any preferences or notes you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. When you use the App, we and our service providers automatically collect:

• A push notification token and related device information, which we use to deliver the Drop alerts that are the App’s core function.
• Device and technical information, such as device type, operating system and version, and app version.
• Usage and diagnostic information, such as how you interact with the App and crash or performance data, used to operate, maintain, and improve the App.
• Advertising and analytics information. Through the Meta software development kit (the “MetaSDK”), we collect coarse device information, app-level identifiers, and records of certain appevents — installing the App, opening it, completing registration, and submitting a hold request —which we use to measure and optimize our advertising. On iOS this uses Apple’s SKAdNetwork and doesnot access your device’s Advertising Identifier (IDFA). See Section 5.

We do not collect precise location data, payment card information, or contacts from your device through the App. Any payment for travel is handled separately and is governed by the supplier’s and our host agency’s own processes, not by the App.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you push notifications about Drops and other offers you have opted to receive;
• Receive, evaluate, and process your hold requests, including contacting you to confirm or clarify details;
• Coordinate with the relevant cruise line, expedition operator, or other supplier (“Supplier”) and our host agency to attempt to place a hold and prepare a booking and invoice;
• Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the App;
• Communicate with you about your requests, the App, and related services; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

3. Push Notifications

The App’s primary purpose is to send push notifications about time-sensitive Drops. To do this, we collect and store a device push token issued by Apple Push Notification service or Google Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can turn off push notifications at any time in your device settings, though doing so will limit the App’s usefulness. Notification delivery depends on your device, network, and these third-party services and is not guaranteed.

4. How We Share Information

We share information only as described here:

• With Suppliers and our host agency. To process a hold request and prepare a booking, we share your relevant information (such as name, contact details, and request details) with the applicable Supplier and with our host agency, Scott & Thomas, as necessary to attempt to secure your hold and generate an invoice.
• With service providers. We use third-party providers to run the App, including Supabase (data storage and backend), Expo (app infrastructure and push delivery), and Apple and Google (push notification services and app distribution). These providers process information on our behalf under their own terms and privacy practices.
• With advertising and analytics partners. We share limited device information, app-levelidentifiers, and app-event information with Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) to measure and optimizeour advertising, as described in Section 5. Meta is an independent third party and processes thisinformation for its own purposes under its own privacy policy — not solely on our behalf.
• For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ABC Trips, our users, or others.
• In a business transfer. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Apart from the advertising activity described in Section 5 (Advertising and Analytics Partners), we do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for third-party advertising. That advertising activity — sharing limited information with Meta to measure and optimize our ads — may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (the “CCPA”), and similar U.S. state laws. You can opt out; see Section 7 (Your Choices and Rights).

5. Advertising and Analytics Partners

We use the Meta (Facebook) software development kit (the “Meta SDK”) within the App to measure andoptimize our app-install advertising and to understand how that advertising drives use of the App.Through the Meta SDK, we and Meta collect and share limited information for these purposes:

• App events. The Meta SDK automatically logs standard events such as installing and opening theApp, and logs two custom events specific to the App: completing registration and submitting a holdrequest. These events carry only minimal parameters (for example, that registration was completedby email). We do not send your name, email address, phone number, trip selections, prices,cabin details, or the contents of your hold request to Meta.
• Device and app information. The Meta SDK collects coarse device information and app-levelidentifiers. On iOS, install attribution uses Apple’s SKAdNetwork, which measures advertisingperformance on an aggregated basis without accessing your device’s Advertising Identifier(IDFA) and without tracking you across other companies’ apps or websites. On Android, installattribution uses the Google Play install referrer. We do not use device-level cross-app trackingor device fingerprinting.

Meta acts as an independent third party and receives this information for advertising measurement,optimization, and analytics. Meta’s use of the information it receives is governed by its ownprivacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

Your advertising choices. You can limit how your information is used for advertising:

• iOS: Because the App uses SKAdNetwork and does not access your IDFA, the App does not present atracking prompt. You can still manage device-level ad personalization at Settings > Privacy &Security > Apple Advertising, and control whether apps may request to track you at Settings >Privacy & Security > Tracking.
• Android: Go to Settings > Privacy > Ads (wording varies by device) to reset or delete youradvertising ID and opt out of ad personalization.
• Meta: Adjust how Meta uses your information for ads in your Facebook or Instagram settings, orat https://www.facebook.com/help/568137493302217.
• California residents may also opt out of advertising-related sharing as described in Section 7(Your Choices and Rights).

Availability outside the United States. The App is offered to users in the United States andCanada. If we later make the App available in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, wewill obtain any consent required before the Meta SDK collects or shares information there.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the App, respond to and process your requests, maintain records of bookings and invoices, and comply with our legal obligations, after which we delete or de-identify it. Hold-request data is retained indefinitely unless deletion is requested in writing by you.

7. Your Choices and Rights

• Notifications. You can disable push notifications at any time in your device’s settings.
• Access and deletion. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or request that we delete it, by emailing us at hello@abctrips.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and within any period required by applicable law. Note that we may need to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations or to complete a transaction you requested.
• Account/data deletion. To request deletion of your data associated with the App, email hello@abctrips.com with the subject line “Delete My Antarctica Cruise Drop Data.”

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CaliforniaConsumer Privacy Act, as amended (the “CCPA”), or other state or national privacy laws, includingthe right to access, correct, delete, or limit the use of your personal information; the right toopt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioraladvertising; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. To exerciseany of these rights, contact us at the email above.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. As described in Section 5, we share limited information with Meta for advertising, which may be considered a “sale” or “share” under the CCPA and similar laws. To opt out, email us at hello@abctrips.com with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” Once you opt out, we will disable advertising-related event sharing for your use of the App.

8. Security

We use reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users 18 and older. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when the updated policy is posted in the App or otherwise made available to you. We encourage you to review it periodically.
