By visiting or otherwise using any of our Websites, Apps, or Services, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms and Conditions.

PERSONAL INFORMATIONPersonal Information We May Collect

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

  • Name
  • Postal addresses
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • Credit and debit card number and related information
  • Social media account ID
  • Passport number
  • Number assigned by a transportation agency, such as a Transportation Security Administration known traveler number

  • Demographic information
  • Analytics/Advertising Data (such as where tied to a user/device ID)
  • Inferences about you

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.

How We May Collect Personal Information

We and other third parties may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:

  • Through the Services: We may collect Personal Information through the Services (e.g., when you provide it to us or where such information is collected automatically), such as when you make a booking, register for a promotion, or provide a preferred means of communication or special travel requests (e.g., in connection with a disability or dietary restriction).
  • Offline: We may collect Personal Information from you offline, such as when you contact customer service.
  • From Other Sources: We may receive your Personal Information from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (including from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected), and other third parties, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Analytics/Advertising Data

As is true of many digital properties, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect or process information you provide to us and information about your device and visit/use of the Services. The type of information may include the following (collectively, “Analytics/Advertising Data”):

  • Browser and device information (e.g., IP address, device or other digital user IDs, browser or device type and version, other user agent string data, geolocation information).
  • Services usage data (path taken to, through, or when exiting our Services, what page you are on or have visited, links clicked, videos or other content viewed, email open rates, mouse movements, scrolls, clicks, keystroke activity, browsing, search, or purchasing behavior, chat function usage).

In some cases, the above may not be by itself considered “Personal Information” under applicable law and we will use such data as we see fit subject to applicable law. However, we may combine Analytics/Advertising Data with Personal Information and then shall treat such combined information as Personal Information subject to this Privacy Policy.

How We May Collect Analytics/Advertising Data

We and our third-party service providers may collect Analytics/Advertising Data in a variety of ways, including:

  • Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (e.g., Windows or Mac), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version, and the name and version of the Services (such as the App) you are using.
  • Through your use of the Websites or Apps: When you download and use an App or Website, we and our third-party partners may track and collect App/Website usage data, such as the date and time the App/Website on your device accesses our servers, and what information and files have been downloaded to or from the App/Website based on your device.
  • Using cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using.

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with the Services.
  • IP Address: Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the pages that were visited.
