Last updated: August 17, 2026

I.Program Description

HIPQUALITY.TRAVEL ("we," "us," or "our") is a boutique luxury travel agency and bespoke vacation planning service based in the Coachella Valley, California. We offer SMS text messaging as a channel to communicate with clients and prospective clients regarding our travel planning services.

Our SMS program is used to send the following types of messages:

  • Booking confirmations — confirmation of vacation planning sessions, service bookings, and itinerary milestones
  • Travel updates — time-sensitive information about your upcoming trip, including schedule changes, destination advisories, and pre-departure reminders
  • Consultation reminders — appointment reminders for scheduled calls or in-person planning sessions with your travel advisor
  • Exclusive offers — curated promotions, limited-availability packages, and special offers relevant to your travel interests (sent only to clients who have opted in to marketing messages)
  • Service communications — responses to inquiries submitted through our website contact form or booking system
  • Account notifications — alerts related to your HIPQUALITY.TRAVEL client account, including password resets and security notices

Message frequency varies based on your interactions with us and the nature of your travel arrangements. Clients with active bookings or upcoming travel may receive more frequent messages during the planning and pre-departure period.
