PRIVACY POLICY

 

We want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose Personal Information (as defined below). This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with Personal Information that we collect through websites operated by us or our affiliates from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (the “Websites”), through the software applications made available by us for use on or through computers and mobile devices (the “Apps”), through our social media pages and apps, if any, through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you that link to this Privacy Policy, as well as through your offline interactions with us where notice is legally required (collectively, including the Websites, Apps, Social Media Pages and offline interactions, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION

“Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual, including:

• Name
• Postal address (including billing and shipping addresses)
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Credit and debit card number
• Profile picture
• Social media account ID
• Travel information, including trip flight information
• Date of birth

• Through the Services:  We may collect Personal Information through the Services, e.g., when you sign up for a newsletter or make a purchase.

We may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Services.  If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information may be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy.  We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information. 
If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Uses and Disclosures of Other Information
