We are committed to respecting your
privacy. We have designed our websites and booking engines so that
you may visit them without identifying yourself or revealing any
personal information, unless you opt to do so. Once you opt to
provide personally identifiable information (any information by
which you can be identified), it will only be used to support your
customer relationship with us and for our own internal purposes,
including marketing and research, customization of our websites and
improving the content of our websites.
This Online Privacy Statement regarding
the privacy of the information you provide online covers the
following main areas: Awareness, What we Collect, Information
Sharing, Choice, Access & Accuracy, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness
We provide 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 our 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 guarantee your
reservation with our travel suppliers and/or to bill you for your
travel purchase. During the booking or request for quote 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 our 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 ours. Nevertheless, we
strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of these vendors
when using their websites.
About Cookies
Many websites, including those we use
for online booking, 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. We do 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 Orlando, a cookie will be set recording the city of
Orlando as the parameter of your search. When you return to the
search form to narrow or change your search, Orlando 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
We 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
We 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 Anytime
Vacations. 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
We strive 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
We are 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.
Oversight
If you have comments or questions about
our privacy policy, e-mail:
sales@anytimevacations.com
Your use of our website is subject to our User Agreement.
Right to Change
Anytime Vacations reserves the 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 7/13/2005.
