Seamless Travels' services are primarily for business and corporate executives. While we cater to the travel needs of their dependents, including minors, we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 16 without explicit parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians are responsible for providing accurate and necessary information for their children's travel arrangements.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.
