Awareness
World
Choice Travel provides this Online Privacy Statement to inform you about
our privacy policy and the practices and choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used. This notice may be accessed
from any area of World Choice Travel’s websites and our online booking
engines.
What
We Collect
When making a reservation:
When you make a reservation online or by phone through our customer
support center, you will be asked for your name, address, phone number,
e-mail address and credit card information. This information is used
to contact you for customer service, to guaranty your reservation with
our travel suppliers and/or to bill you for your travel purchase. During
the booking process you can choose not to receive our newsletter or
travel reminders by unchecking the appropriate boxes on the online form.
Third-party
vendors:
Some of World Choice Travel's online booking engines are powered by
third-party vendors. Our goal is to work only with reputable and reliable
vendors. You should note that these vendors may have privacy policies
and practices that may differ from those of World Choice Travel. Nevertheless,
we strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of these vendors
when using their websites.
E-Postcards:
World Choice Travel provides electronic postcards cards via our websites
and our affiliate websites for you to send to a friend. We store the
e-mail address of all recipients, the message you want to send and the
URL for locating the greeting card. We do not sell, distribute, or license
in anyway the use of recipient e-mail addresses. We use them solely
for the purposes of notifying recipients on your behalf that a card
is waiting for them at the designated URL. After 30 days, all information
pertaining to your postcard is deleted.
About
Cookies
Many websites, including those owned by World Choice Travel, use cookie
technology to help users navigate efficiently. The cookie is a small
text file that resides on your hard drive. From time to time, our site(s)
will request the cookie from your browser so that we can retrieve the
stored information. This prevents you from making the same selections
over and over again. World Choice Travel does not use cookies to store
personal information, such as credit-card numbers.
An
example of how cookies are used is as follows: When you conduct a search
using our hotel-booking engine for hotels in Honolulu, a cookie will
be set recording the city of Honolulu
as the parameter of your search. When you return to the search form
to narrow or change your search, Honolulu
will automatically be entered into the city field in the search form.
Please
note that with most browsers, a user can set the preferences to show
a warning each time a cookie request is received. You can also usually
set the browser not to accept cookies at all. However, to make your
experience using our hotel-booking engine as convenient as possible,
we suggest that you allow your browser to accept cookies.
Information
Sharing
World Choice Travel will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable
information to third parties. Unless we have your permission or are
required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online
with other third-party vendors that are acting on our behalf to complete
the activities described above. We will cooperate with law enforcement
authorities.
Choice
World Choice Travel will not use or share the personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the purposes
described above without letting you know and offering you a choice.
Please
be aware that our website and those of our affiliates may contain links
to other websites, and that the privacy practices of these other websites
may differ from those of World Choice Travel. This Online Privacy Statement
does not apply to other websites. We encourage you to read the Privacy
Policies of all other websites you visit.
Access
& Accuracy
World Choice Travel strives to keep your personally identifiable information
accurate. We make every effort to provide you with online access to
your registration data so that you may update or correct your information
on the hotel-booking engine where it was submitted. To protect your
privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your
identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections
to your user account.
Security
World Choice Travel is committed to protecting the security of your
information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy,
and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption when
collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.

to our User Agreement.
Right
to Change

right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence
and location of the new or revised Privacy Policy. The foregoing Privacy
Policy was last updated on 7/16/2003.
