identifiable information while on our site. Our Web site
requires the use of cookies purely for programming

provide aggregate statistics to third parties but these
statistics will never ever identify any single user.
Sharing of Personal Information
Generally, we only disclose your Personal Information to those
travel providers that you decide to make arrangements
with through our site. For example, when you purchase an
airline ticket or book a hotel room, or reserve a tour
package, we will provide the airline, hotel, or tour
operator as the case may be, with the Personal
Information needed to process your transaction. We use
our reasonable efforts to ensure that these travel
providers will also protect your Personal Information.
We contract with other companies to perform various functions
necessary to operate our business - for example, to
deliver tickets, ship items and process credit cards. We
will share with these other companies only that Personal
Information they require to fulfill your orders. These
companies agree that they will not use or disclose that
Personal Information for any other purpose.
Other than as explained in this policy, we will not disclose any
Personal Information we collect from you to others
without your permission, except in certain limited
circumstances: (a) to protect the security of our site
and our rights under our Terms and Conditions of Use;
(b) to protect ourselves against liability; (c) in
response to legal process, (d) if we believe in good
faith that the law requires it; or (e) in connection
with a sale of our business or company. Please note that
if we receive a formal request to disclose your Personal
Information in connection with a legal action, we will
attempt to tell you about it at least ten (10) days
before we respond to that request, if permitted by law,
via the e-mail address you provided during registration.

accommodations for other travelers using your Member

about these other travelers. You will need to make sure
that each of these other travelers agrees, in advance,
that you can disclose their Personal Information to us.

change this policy in a material way (for example, a
change regarding disclosure of Personal Information), we
will post notice of the change on our site and notify
you via e-mail at the address you have provided to us
before putting the change into effect. If any proposed
change is unacceptable to you, you may, as discussed in
