2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a
standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What
Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after our Web site.
How Do We Use the
Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking,
we use personal information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing the products and services you
requested, to process your reservation,
to monitor the
use of the service,
our marketing and
promotional efforts
and
improve our
content and service offerings, and customize our site's content,
layout, services
and for other
lawful purposes.
These uses
improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such
information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis.
Personally identifiable information or business information will not
be shared with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may
also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Website, new services, and special offers we think
you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not
wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the link provided on

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text
document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When
you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for
permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive
specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but
(to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to
access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent
to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter
the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose
to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas
of our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the
users. A
cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass
on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect
from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site,
the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some
cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more
than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web
server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of
people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather
any personal information about you and we do not intentionally store
any personal information that your browser provided to us in your
cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your
computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP
address is a number that is used by computers on the network to
identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by
our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as
traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be
sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or
lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber
(such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to
the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide
services that you have requested.
What About
Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may
disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or
for the protection of our legal rights.
We may also
disclose account information when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of
Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to
Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the
practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site or
the information or content contained therein. Often links to other
Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics
that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that
when you use a link to go from our Website to another web site, our
Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction
on any other web site, including web sites, which have a link on our
Website, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to
our collection and use of your personal information as described in
this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this privacy
policy at any time with or without notice.
Our Commitment To
Data Security:
Please note that
your information will be stored and processed on our computers in
the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United
States may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of
residence or citizenship.
To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct
use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the
information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This
site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive
future messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the
particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
In the event that the
web site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your
information would be considered part of those assets, and may be
part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy
Modifications
We may
change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are
made to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us
permission to do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to
check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the personal
information you have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a
manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy,
without your prior consent.
