SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION 

We share your Personal Information with third parties only when necessary to help provide the services described in "How do we use our personal information" section above. For example, we share your information with travel providers such as airlines, hotels, car rental, activity providers, rail and cruise lines as required in order to make travel reservations on your behalf. We also may share your information with third-party vendors who provide services or functions on our behalf. 

We may share your Personal Information with business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services, or whose products or services may be offered on our Site. You can tell when a third-party business partner is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear, either alone or with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we will on occasions share information about you, including your personal information, with those partners. 

We share your Personal Information with third party services providers who provide data processing services to us (for example, to support the delivery of; provide functionality on; or help to enhance the security of our Online Services), or who otherwise process personal information for purposes such as credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, distribution of surveys or sweepstakes programs, and fraud prevention. Where third-party service providers have access to data they will only collect information as needed to perform their functions. They are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights. 

BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING 

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. Please note that we do not have access to or control over cookies or other technologies these third parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work . 

You can opt out of targeted advertising using the following links: 

FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads 
GOOGLE - https://www.google.com/settings/ads/anonymous 
   BING - https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/policies/personalized-ads 


Additionally, you can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at:  http://optout.aboutads.info/ . Note that if you choose not to receive tailored ads, you will still see online advertisements, but they will be more general and less relevant to you. 

DO NOT TRACK 

Certain browsers may offer you the option of providing notice to websites that you do not wish for your online activities to be tracked for preference-based advertising purposes (“DNT Notice”). Some browsers are, by default, set to provide a DNT Notice, whether or not that reflects your preference. Providing DNT Notice is often touted as a means to ensure that cookies, web beacons and similar technology are not used for preference-based advertising purposes – that is, to restrict the collection of information about your online activities for advertising purposes. Unfortunately, given how preference-based advertising works, DNT Notices may not effectively accomplish this goal. For this and a variety of other reasons, with respect to our Site, we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices based on browser based DNT Notices. Rather, if you do not wish to participate in preference-based advertising activities, you should follow the opt-out process identified above. 

YOUR RIGHTS 

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your information and mechanisms to opt out as described in each of the sections above. In addition to those, if at any point you believe the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, you want us to correct or delete that information, or you no longer want us to hold that information or contact you, please let us know through the means indicated in the “Contact Us” section below. 

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the means indicated in the “Contact Us” section below. 

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you, or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above.  Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States. 

You can also access or update certain personal information in the My Account section of our Site. You can request to deactivate your account at any time by contacting us through the contact information listed at the bottom of this policy.
