Hotel-Reservationz.com 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
Hotel-Reservationz.com 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 Hotel-Reservationz.com'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 Hotel-Reservationz.com'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
Hotel-Reservationz.com. We strongly encourage
you to read the privacy policies of these
vendors when using their websites.
E-Postcards:
Hotel-Reservationz.com
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
Hotel-Reservationz.com, 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.
Hotel-Reservationz.com 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
Hotel-Reservationz.com 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
Hotel-Reservationz.com will not use or share the
personally identifiable information provided to

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 Hotel-Reservationz.com. This
Online Privacy Policy does not apply to other
websites. We encourage you to read the privacy
policies of all other websites you visit.
