Last updated: May 22, 2025

At The Great Expedition Company, we believe in treating your personal data with the same respect we bring to the landscapes we explore. We collect only what is necessary, use it responsibly, and never share it carelessly.

You may withdraw consent at any time.

How We Store Your Data

Your data is securely stored using third-party services compliant with GDPR (e.g., Squarespace, Mailchimp, Google Workspace). Access is limited to expedition organizers and trusted support staff.
