Rising Tide AI, Inc.
Last updated: May 2026
1. Introduction
Rising Tide AI, Inc. ("Rising Tide AI," "we," "us," or "our") is a Delaware corporation that provides AI-powered dynamic pricing software and related services for tour and activity operators. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit rtideai.com (the "Website"), use either of our software-as-a-service platforms (the "Service"), or otherwise interact with and provide data to us.
By using the Website or Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or Service.
2. Who This Policy Applies To
This Policy applies to:
- Visitors to our Website
- Paid, Trial, and Beta customers who provide access to their sales data
- Customers (tour and activity operators) who subscribe to the Service
- Authorized users who access the Service on behalf of a Customer
- End consumers whose booking and pricing data is processed through our Service on behalf of our Customers
For end-consumer data processed on behalf of our Customers, Rising Tide AI generally acts as a data processor (or "service provider" under California law). The Customer is the controller of that data and their privacy policy governs the consumer relationship.
