Effective Date: August 23, 2026
Last Updated: August 23, 2026
Happy Trails Media LLC (“Happy Trails Media,” “HTM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit or interact with www.roybaltravels.com (the “Site”), contact us, request information, book a consultation, subscribe to communications, request or receive a quote or invoice, purchase services, or otherwise interact with us through the Site.
The Site is operated by Happy Trails Media LLC, a Colorado limited liability company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States.
Certain travel-advisory services accessible through the Site are provided separately through Roybal Hawk Travel LLC in connection with its relationship with Fora Travel. See Travel-Advisor Services below for additional information.

4. Legal Bases for Processing Where Applicable
Some jurisdictions require us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information.
Where those laws apply, our legal bases may include:
Contract or steps requested before entering a contract.
For example, responding to a project inquiry, preparing a quote, scheduling a consultation, processing a transaction, or providing contracted services.
Consent.
For example, where consent is required for non-essential cookies, targeted advertising technologies, or certain marketing communications.
Legitimate interests.
For example, operating and improving our business and Site, responding to inquiries, securing our systems, preventing fraud, measuring business performance, and conducting appropriate marketing activities, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable privacy rights.
Legal obligations.
For example, maintaining tax, accounting, transaction, or other legally required business records.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, personalize, and market the Site and our services.
These technologies may include:
-
Cookies
-
Tracking pixels
-
Tags
-
Local storage
-
Similar browser or device technologies
Some technologies are necessary for the Site to operate. Others may be used for functionality, analytics, advertising, attribution, and marketing.
Consent Management
We use Usercentrics as a consent-management platform to provide visitors with information and choices regarding cookies and similar technologies.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential technologies are subject to the consent choices available through the Site.
You can review or change available cookie preferences using the Site's Cookie Settings or consent-management controls.
Disabling certain technologies may affect some Site features or our ability to measure how the Site is used.
6. Meta Pixel and Advertising
The Site currently uses the Meta Pixel, sometimes referred to as the Facebook Pixel.
The Meta Pixel may allow Meta Platforms and its affiliates to receive information about interactions with the Site. Depending on the visitor's consent choices, configuration, and applicable law, this information may be used for purposes such as:
-
Measuring advertising performance
-
Determining whether advertisements resulted in visits or actions
-
Attribution and conversion measurement
-
Creating advertising audiences
-
Retargeting or remarketing
-
Optimizing advertising campaigns
-
Understanding how users interact with advertisements and the Site
Meta may process information it receives according to its own terms and privacy practices.
We do not control how Meta independently processes information after it receives information as an independent service provider or controller under applicable law.
7. Analytics
We may use website analytics and measurement technologies to understand how people find and use the Site and to improve our services, content, and marketing.
If additional analytics technologies are implemented, including third-party analytics providers, we will use them consistent with applicable law and update our disclosures when appropriate.
8. Wix
The Site is hosted and operated using services provided by Wix.com and its affiliated companies.
Wix provides infrastructure and services that may include:
-
Website hosting
-
Website functionality
-
Forms
-
Customer relationship management
-
Bookings and scheduling
-
Contact records
-
Invoices and quotes
-
Payment functionality
-
Email and marketing functionality
-
Analytics
-
Security and fraud prevention
-
Other website and business-management services
Information you submit through the Site may therefore be transmitted to, stored by, or otherwise processed through Wix systems.
Wix's own processing of personal information is also governed by its applicable privacy notices, terms, and contractual obligations.
9. Payments
Happy Trails Media may accept payments through payment methods made available through Wix and associated payment providers.
Available methods may include:
-
Major credit and debit cards
-
PayPal
-
PayPal Credit
-
Apple Pay
-
Google Pay
-
Other payment methods that may be made available in the future
Payment credentials are generally processed by Wix and/or the applicable payment provider.
Happy Trails Media does not intend to directly collect or store complete payment-card credentials such as full credit-card numbers through its ordinary Site systems.
We may receive and retain transaction-related information such as:
-
Customer name
-
Contact information
-
Billing information
-
Invoice number
-
Services purchased
-
Transaction amount
-
Payment method or provider
-
Payment status
-
Transaction date
-
Refund or dispute information
-
Other records necessary for accounting, customer service, tax, contractual, or legal purposes
Payment providers may independently collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
10. Travel-Advisor Services
The Site provides a way to request or schedule an initial travel consultation with Ryan through Wix's booking functionality.
The Site's role in this process is primarily to facilitate the initial inquiry and appointment scheduling.
If you proceed with travel-advisory services, those services may be provided separately through Roybal Hawk Travel LLC in connection with its relationship with Fora Travel.
After the initial consultation or referral:
-
Travel-advisor communications may occur through separate Fora-related credentials or systems.
-
Additional traveler information may be collected through Fora Travel or other travel-industry systems.
-
Travel suppliers, hotels, airlines, tour operators, insurance providers, payment providers, and other travel companies may separately process your information.
-
Their respective privacy policies and terms may apply.
Happy Trails Media does not use the general roybaltravels.com booking form as the primary system for collecting passport information or other sensitive travel documentation.
This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy policies or terms applicable to Fora Travel or independent travel suppliers.
11. How We Share Personal Information
We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately.
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:
Website and Technology Providers
Including Wix, website infrastructure providers, hosting services, communications providers, consent-management services, analytics services, security providers, and other technology vendors.
Payment Providers
Including payment processors, digital-wallet providers, banks, payment networks, and financial-services providers involved in processing or administering transactions.
Advertising and Marketing Providers
Including Meta and other advertising, marketing, attribution, or campaign-measurement providers that we choose to use.
Professional Service Providers
Including accountants, attorneys, tax professionals, insurers, consultants, contractors, and other professional advisers when reasonably necessary.
Travel-Related Providers
For visitors who request travel-advisory services, relevant information may be provided to Roybal Hawk Travel LLC, Fora Travel, or applicable travel providers as necessary to continue the requested relationship.
Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
-
Comply with law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process
-
Respond to lawful government requests
-
Enforce agreements
-
Investigate fraud or misconduct
-
Protect our rights or property
-
Protect the safety or security of our clients, users, business, or others
Business Transactions
If Happy Trails Media is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
12. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Happy Trails Media does not sell personal information for money.
Certain privacy laws, however, define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” broadly enough that the use of certain advertising technologies may qualify even when no money is exchanged for personal information.
Because we use advertising technologies such as the Meta Pixel, some disclosures of online identifiers or activity information may be treated as targeted advertising, sharing, or a sale under certain applicable privacy laws.
Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of this type of processing, you may exercise available choices through our Cookie Settings or contact us using the information below.
We do not rent customer lists or intentionally provide personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent direct-marketing use.
13. Email Marketing
If you subscribe to a newsletter, request marketing communications, or otherwise consent to receive promotional communications, we may use your contact information to send information about:
-
Happy Trails Media
-
Creative projects
-
Media services
-
New services
-
Content
-
Events
-
Promotions
-
Relevant business updates
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing messages will not prevent us from sending non-promotional communications that are necessary for an existing business relationship, booking, transaction, contract, payment, or other service you requested.
14. Telephone and Text Communications
Telephone numbers submitted through the Site are primarily used for individual communications related to inquiries, bookings, consultations, projects, client services, or other requested communications.
We do not currently use telephone numbers collected through the Site for automated promotional SMS or mass text-message marketing.
If that practice changes, we will obtain any consent required by applicable law before sending such communications.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Retention periods may depend on factors such as:
-
The nature of the information
-
The purpose for which it was collected
-
Whether you are an active or prospective client
-
The duration of a contractual or business relationship
-
Accounting and tax requirements
-
Legal limitation periods
-
Fraud prevention and security needs
-
Dispute resolution
-
Legal or regulatory requirements
Certain transaction, accounting, contract, invoice, and tax records may need to be retained after the conclusion of a customer relationship.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our operational practices.
16. International Visitors and Data Transfers
Happy Trails Media is based in the United States, and the Site is operated from the United States.
The Site may be accessed worldwide, and we may provide services to clients in locations outside the United States where legally permitted.
If you access the Site from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries in which our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will use lawful transfer mechanisms or safeguards made available through our service providers or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
17. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and which laws apply to our processing, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to:
-
Request information about personal data we process about you
-
Access personal information
-
Correct inaccurate information
-
Request deletion of certain personal information
-
Obtain a portable copy of certain information
-
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
-
Object to certain processing

Restrict certain processing

Opt out of certain targeted advertising
-
Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information
-
Opt out of certain profiling where applicable
-
Appeal certain decisions involving a privacy request where applicable
-
Lodge a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority
Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy request. We may also deny or limit a request where permitted or required by applicable law, including where information must be retained for legal, contractual, security, tax, accounting, or other legitimate purposes.
Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf, although we may require appropriate proof of authority and identity verification.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Submitting a Privacy Request
To submit a privacy request, contact:
Please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line and provide enough information for us to understand and respond to your request.
Do not send highly sensitive identifying documents by ordinary email unless we specifically request an appropriate verification method.
18. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Our service providers may also maintain security measures applicable to the systems they operate on our behalf.
However, no website, network, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should therefore use reasonable care when transmitting information online and should not submit highly sensitive information through general website forms.
19. Children's Privacy
The Site and our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where parental consent or another legal basis was required, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us at:
20. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site may contain links to or integrations with websites, platforms, social networks, payment providers, travel providers, or other services that we do not own or control.
Examples may include:
-
Meta / Facebook / Instagram
-
PayPal
-
Apple Pay
-
Google Pay
-
Wix
-
Fora Travel
-
Travel suppliers
-
Other external websites or platforms
When you interact with a third-party service, that provider may independently collect or process information.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the independent privacy practices of third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of services you choose to use.
