Cookies: A Cookie is a small computer file that our computer sends to your computer, and that your computer sends back to us each time you make a request from our site. Cookies help us recognize you when you visit our site again. We use cookies on our site to collect session data for several purposes to personalize and improve your individual viewing experiences on our site. For example, we use cookies to keep track of your use of our site, gather data to improve the content of our site, provide information that may be of interest to you and improve the security of your experience with us. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie from the sites you visit. If you decide not to accept our cookies, you will still be able to access those parts of our site that are available to the general public, but you will not be able to view some information on our site, use some features designed to enhance your experience at our site, or access many of the services offered at our site.

When You Decide to Register With Us

Personal Information:  If you decide to Register with us, we will collect Personal Information about you that you voluntarily share with us. We collect Personal Information that is necessary for us to provide you with the services offered on our site. As mentioned, this Personal Information includes things like your name, e-mail, mailing address, and telephone numbers. You will provide an e-mail address as your User ID and select a Password that will be required to gain access to portions of our site.

Other Information:  You may decide to share other information ("Other Information") with us about yourself (for example, demographic information like your age and gender) and your travel preferences and experiences (for example, seat selection, participation in airline/hotel/car-rental loyalty or awards programs and applicable membership numbers, meal requests, and ticketing options). If you share Other Information with us, we will use it to automatically record your travel preferences in reservations you make, tailor your experience at our site to your interests, and make more appropriate travel recommendations to you. You may still use our site to search for and purchase travel services even if you choose not to share this type of information with us.

Traveler Profile:  We combine your Personal Information and Other Information you voluntarily share with us in what we call your "Traveler Profile". We also add your session data to your Traveler Profile. We collect and use all of the information in your Traveler Profile to improve the quality of our service to you and your experience with us. For example, we may use the combination of information in your Traveler Profile to
(a) personalize the service we provide to you,
(b) communicate with you about changes to your travel plans, service updates and new features or outages on our site, and
(c) allocate the resources of our systems so that your experience with our site is as efficient as possible.

Payment Information and Travel History:  If you register with us, you will be able to book, purchase travel services, reserve hotel accommodations and car rentals, purchase travel insurance, etc. To do so, you must provide payment information to us (for example, your credit card specifics like card number, issuing bank, expiration date, cardholder name, and billing address). For your protection and safety, we store and encrypt your personal credit card information. You will need to know the credit card number to edit this information. We will keep a history of all your reservations, bookings, and purchases of travel services and accommodations through our site in your Traveler Profile, unless you choose to edit your Traveler Profile as described below in this policy (Changing and Removing Personal Information and Other Information).

Sharing of Personal Information:  Generally, we only disclose your Personal Information to those travel providers that you decide to make arrangements with through our site. For example, when you purchase an airline ticket or reserve a rental car or hotel room, we will provide the airline, car rental agency or hotel, as the case may be, with the Personal Information needed to process your transaction. We use our reasonable efforts to ensure that these travel providers will also protect your Personal Information. We contract with other companies to perform various functions necessary to operate our business (for example, to deliver tickets, ship items, and process credit cards). We will share with these other companies only that Personal Information they require to fulfill your orders. These companies agree that they will not use or disclose that Personal Information for any other purpose. Other than as explained in this policy, we will not disclose any Personal Information we collect from you to others without your permission, except in certain limited circumstances:
(a) to protect the security of our site and our rights under our Terms and Conditions of Use;
(b) to protect ourselves against liability;
(c) in response to legal process,
(d) if we believe in good faith that the law requires it; or
(e) in connection with a sale of our business or company.
Please note that if we receive a formal request to disclose your Personal Information in connection with a legal action, we will attempt to tell you about it at least ten (10) days before we respond to that request, if permitted by law, via the e-mail address you provided during registration.
