What is "personal information"?
As used in this Policy, the term "personal information" means information that identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us.
What personal information do we collect about you?
We believe that in order to make your experience pleasing and comfortable, we must strive to anticipate your needs. There are several ways we collect your personal information when you visit our Sites or use our services:
* Information You Provide. If you're making a reservation on one of our Web sites, we'll ask for your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and credit-card number, which we need to secure your reservation. We'll save that number to facilitate future reservations. If you choose to create an online profile your credit card information may be shared with a travel agent for purchases requested on your behalf. If you provide us comments through the "Email Us" features on our Web sites, we'll provide a way for you to include your contact information, but you can also choose to provide anonymous comments. If you establish a Web site account with us, we'll ask for your basic contact information to facilitate future online reservations. Another way we try to anticipate your needs is by conducting market research. We will occasionally invite our past customers to participate in surveys or focus groups where we will ask for your opinions about your experience with us or about new services we are considering. Your participation in our market research is always on a voluntary basis.
Information Provided by Companies Outside Travel Leaders. We may, from time to time, obtain information about our customers from other companies, but only if these companies have the right to share that information with us. For example, if we do not have your current e-mail address, we may obtain that information from another company so that we can keep your account up-to-date, but only if the other company has the right to share that information with us.
Information Sent To Us By Your Browser. Like most commercial Web sites, we collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser when you access our Sites. This information typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the type of your operating system, and the type of your browser. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our Sites and make it more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. However, we may review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network. If we suspect criminal activity, we might share our server logs - which contain visitors' IP addresses - with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals. In addition, if you access this site through an e-mail we have sent you, or if you've created a "user profile" during one of your visits, we may link the information provided by your browser to information in our records that identifies you personally.
How can you access and update your personal information?
To access your personal information for the purpose of updating it or correcting inaccuracies, use the Sign In link found in the upper right-hand corner of the Web page header, and log in. If already signed in, navigate to the My Profile section of the Web site. Once logged in, click on the "Edit My Profile" link, and your current profile data will display for review or editing purposes.
If you have additional questions regarding your personal information, please contact us. We will respond promptly within the time limits established by applicable law. For your protection, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. In most cases, we will provide the access you request and correct or delete any inaccurate information you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so.
You may update or correct key information relating to your account at any time by visiting your online profile or contacting us. In addition, from time to time, we may invite you to review and update key information relating to your account. We may also try to ensure that our customer addresses remain current by checking them against national change-of-address lists that postal services make available.
We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized alteration. If you become aware that any of the personal information in our records is inaccurate or has been altered, please contact us.
Law Enforcement.
There are other, limited circumstances in which we or the companies with which we share your personal information may share or transfer your personal information to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to a third party when we believe it is necessary to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to comply with a court order or subpoena; to comply with a legal requirement; to protect your vital interests; or in connection with a sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, financing, liquidation, dissolution, or similar event. When we disclose information under these or similar circumstances, we'll take appropriate steps to limit use and protect the confidentiality of your personal information.
Does our Site use spyware?
Our Site does not use spyware. The term "spyware" refers to a software program that, when installed on your computer, changes settings, displays advertising, or tracks your Internet behavior and reports information back to a central database. Spyware is usually installed on your computer without your knowledge and can be very difficult to remove.
How long do we keep your personal information?
We keep your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was collected, or to which you have consented, or as permitted by applicable law.
Do we transfer your personal information outside your country of residence?
Travel Leaders Corporate, its travel brands, and Travel Leaders Group are all U.S. corporations. This Site may be hosted on Web servers located in the United States or other countries. Our data and call centers are located in the United States, although we may at times use supplemental facilities located outside of these countries. We share the personal information we collect with third-party service providers, our Partners, and others around the world as described in this Policy.
How do we protect your personal information?
We maintain appropriate physical, technological, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, our data networks are protected by firewalls and intrusion-detection sensors. Only those who have a "need-to-know" are authorized to access member accounts, and only after they've been trained on our security procedures.
Although we use reasonable measures to help protect your personal information and comply with applicable data security laws, it's important that you understand that no Web site or database is completely secure, or "hacker proof." You can protect yourself and help us prevent computer crime by carefully guarding your password. If you believe the security of your account has been breached, contact us.
What about links to other Web sites?
Our Sites contain links to Web sites operated by other companies, including Web sites operated by our third-party service providers, other members of Travel Leaders Corporate, and unrelated third parties. This privacy policy does not apply to any of these other Web sites. When you access other websites through a link on this Site, please take a few minutes to review their terms of use and privacy statements. How do we enforce our privacy promises? We communicate our privacy promises to our employees and train employees handling member information on their roles and responsibilities in protecting your privacy. We regularly assess the privacy and security practices of our Web sites, databases, and other member-information systems to identify ways we can improve our data practices. This privacy statement covers the Web site www.travelleaderscorp.com.
How do we make notification of changes to this Policy?
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time. The level of notice we'll provide when we change this Policy will depend on the nature of the change. In any event, changes to this Policy may affect our use of personal information that you provided us prior to the effective date of the changes.
Minor Changes. If we make only minor changes to this Policy, we'll replace this Policy with the new Policy and change the "effective" date at the top of this Policy. We will also provide a notice at the top of this Policy for at least 30 days after the new effective date. Your continued participation in the Program or use of this Site following a minor change to this Policy will indicate your acceptance of the revised Policy. Minor changes include, for example, changes to the list of members of Travel Leaders Group and changes to our contact information.
