Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information, as well as aggregated
information regarding number and length of visits with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person. We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes. These parties are not allowed
to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these
services. When reserving a vacation or cruise we may be required to share
personal information such as name and address with our travel suppliers (airlines,
cruise lines, land package vendors etc.). This information is used for the sole
purpose of securing a reservation and assigning particular flights, ship cabins,
hotel rooms etc.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both
online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are
just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, contact our customer service department.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-
protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must
re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do
to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we
store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked door. If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to our customer service department.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to
use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a
choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected. |
