"With your permission, we will collect content from the device you use to access our online Services, such as photos from your device camera roll and camera and the contacts from your address book.

"You may control location tracking by adjusting your location services options on the 'Settings' app on your mobile device. We may continue to approximate your location based on your IP address when you access the Services through a computer or device. The Child's location data on the ship will be shared with the parent and approved members of the booking party."

Carnival tracks user location through device location services and continues to approximate location via IP address even when location services are disabled. They also track and share children's location data onboard.

"We may modify or update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect the changes in our business and practices, and you should review this page periodically. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided. Continuing to use our Services after we publish changes to this Privacy Notice means that you are consenting to the changes."

Carnival can modify the privacy notice at any time and treats continued use of services as consent to the new terms, placing the burden on users to monitor changes.

"We allow third-party advertising networks, social media companies, and other services to collect information about how you use our Sites. They use this information to show you ads on our Sites, other websites, apps, and devices you use. This information is usually collected through tracking technologies that recognize your device and gather details like what you click on, your browser type, the time and date you visited, your device ID, rough location, and other data."

Carnival allows third-party advertising networks and social media companies to directly collect user data through tracking technologies embedded in their sites, enabling cross-platform targeted advertising.

"We will only store your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose of collection as set out in this Privacy Notice in accordance with our data retention policies, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law. We delete facial recognition data after the trip, but keep linked photos for up to two years so you can buy them later."

Carnival's retention policy is vaguely defined as 'as long as necessary' without specific timelines for most data categories, and they retain email addresses on a blacklist even after unsubscribing.

"We may share a common account identifier (like a hashed email or user ID) with third-party partners who use tracking technologies to find potential marketing audiences. These partners may use this information and combine it with data they collect or get from other sources, both online and offline. This helps them recognize you on different devices and platforms, like computers, mobile devices, and smart TVs."

Carnival shares hashed identifiers with partners who combine data from multiple online and offline sources to track and recognize users across different devices and platforms including computers, phones, and smart TVs.

"For your convenience, a 'Service Gratuity' will be automatically added to the onboard account for each guest, except for children under the age of 2, to recognize the efforts of a wide variety of crewmembers. Service Gratuities, which are subject to adjustment at your discretion, are pooled and distributed in the form of added wages, bonuses and/or crew benefits. A Service Charge will be automatically added to optional purchases for beverages, specialty dining and other voluntary purchases during the cruise."

Carnival automatically adds service gratuities and service charges to guest accounts by default, framing them as 'for your convenience' while requiring guests to take action to adjust or remove them.
