The Royal Compass ("we," "us") is an independent cruise blog. This policy explains what information we collect on theroyalcompass.com and how we use it.

Information you give us

When you sign up for our email list we collect your first name (optional) and email address. When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address and message. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us.

Roll Call accounts

If you create a Roll Call account we store your email, password (securely, by our database provider), first and last name (kept private), username and optional hometown. Your username, hometown, roll call check-ins and posts are public. Please don't post personal details like phone numbers or cabin numbers. You can edit your profile on the My Account page or ask us to delete your account.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Like most websites, we and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site, keep you signed in and show advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend things we'd use ourselves.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site and send email (for example, our database and email providers), and when required by law.
