Wentrip is 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 such as name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit
card number), 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, Oversight,
and Right to Change.
Awareness
Wentrip provides 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 Wentrip's websites and our online proprietary
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 guaranty your reservation
with our travel suppliers and/or to bill you for your
travel purchase. We may also ask you for other personal
information, such as your frequent traveler numbers.
During the booking process you can choose not to receive
our newsletter or travel reminders by unchecking the
appropriate boxes on the online form. Thereafter, if you
would rather not receive them, please click on the
"unsubscribe" link or follow the instructions in each
e-mail message.
Third-party vendors:
Some of Wentrip's online booking engines are powered by
third-party vendors. You should note that these vendors
may have privacy policies and practices that differ from
those of Wentrip. We strongly encourage you to read
the privacy policies of these vendors when using their
websites.
E-Postcards:
Wentrip provides electronic postcards cards via our
websites and our affiliate websites for you to send to a
friend. We store the e-mail address of all recipients,
the message you want to send and the URL for locating
the greeting card. We do not sell, distribute, or
license in anyway the use of recipient e-mail addresses.
We use them solely for the purposes of notifying
recipients on your behalf that a card is waiting for
them at the designated URL. After 30 days, all
information pertaining to your postcard is deleted.
About Cookies
Many websites, including those owned by Wentrip, 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 allows you to avoid making the
same selections over and over again. Wentrip does 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 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 booking engines as convenient as possible, we
suggest that you allow your browser to accept cookies.
Information Sharing
Wentrip 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 to complete
reservation services. We do not knowingly permit the
site to be used by any person under the age of eighteen
and we do not knowingly collect any personal information
from children (meaning those younger than thirteen years
of age). We will cooperate with law enforcement
authorities.
Choice
Wentrip 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 Wentrip. This Online Privacy Policy does not apply to
other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy
policies of all other websites you visit.
Access & Accuracy
Wentrip strives 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. 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
Wentrip is 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 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. Click
