Privacy Statement
Protecting your information while you visit our website is important to us. We protect your Personal Information by restricting access to those employees who need to know. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard your Personal Information.
We collect Personal Information to provide travel products and services to you. You are not required to provide any Personal Information when browsing our site unless and until you make a purchase or sign-up for our e-mail newsletters or other services described below. A valid payment card is required to make a purchase on our site. Personal Information is collected when you voluntarily and specifically provide it. Our site is intended for use by persons 18 years of age or older and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors (those under 18 years of age). When you purchase travel arrangements for someone else through our site, we will request Personal Information about that individual. You should obtain the consent of other individuals prior to providing us with their Personal Information. We may also request information about your travel preferences such as frequent flyer/hotel program information, airline choice or cabin options.
We may also indirectly gather information about your online visit including your Internet service provider, Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device ID, geolocation, mobile device type, browser type, operating system, the date and time the website that referred you and the pages you visit while at our site. We may also use Session Replay scripts to learn how you interact with our website. These scripts track your online movements to learn how you navigate and interact with our site and can be used to improve our website by identifying and correcting confusing and non-functioning parts of a web page. We restrict employee access to such scripts, keep these scripts for only a limited time and redact the display of Personal Information within the scripts in order to protect your information.
A valid payment card is required to make a purchase. To purchase travel and related services, you must provide your full name including middle name or initial, gender, date of birth (as well as the full names, gender and date of birth of others accompanying you), residence street address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, TSA Redress Number (if any), travel agency identification number and payment card information including card number, card type, cardholder name, expiration date and card verification number. You must obtain the consent of other individuals who may accompany you prior to providing their names, as they may be unable to view, change, cancel or modify any information you provide on their behalf. We may also request the name of the travel provider (e.g., airline) you will use, airline flight numbers, frequent flyer programs and other frequent program numbers. We require this information so that we can process, fulfill and confirm your reservations and transactions. When you purchase travel with us, you will receive confirmation of your travel itinerary via e-mail.

Privacy Notice (as required under 49 U.S.C. § 1560.13): The Transportation Security Administration of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires us to collect information from you for purposes of watch list screening, under the authority of 49 U.S.C. section 114, and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Providing this information is voluntary; however, if it is not provided, you may be subject to additional screening or denied transport or authorization to enter a sterile area. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice.

How We Use Information We Collect
We use the Personal Information we collect for many purposes including completing your travel purchase; sending you special travel promotions, travel tips and general information; communicating with you about your travel plans; notifying you in the event of itinerary changes; providing travel documents; sending you e-mails; preventing prohibited or illegal activities; enforcing company policies and agreements including Terms and Conditions of Sale and User Agreement; providing you with information about our other travel brands; for employment purposes; improving your overall experience when visiting our site for our own internal purposes and for conducting business with travel agency and affiliate partners.
To process and provide the travel services you request and purchase, we may share your Personal Information with our third-party travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, ground transportation, cruise, activity and travel protection plan providers, who fulfill your travel reservations on our behalf. These third-party travel providers may need information about your profile to process and facilitate your travel reservation. Personal Information shared may include full name including middle name or initial, gender, date of birth (as well as the full names, gender and date of birth of others accompanying you) and TSA Redress Number (if any). We do not place limitations on their use or disclosure of your Personal Information. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any such travel provider whose products you consider purchasing through our site. We may also share Personal Information among our affiliated companies.
When you visit our site, we may assign a “cookie” (a small, unique identifier text file) and a web beacon (a small transparent image file) which is very common on the Internet. You do not provide this information, as it is collected automatically and used in a variety of ways to optimize visits to our site, including the use of third-party services for improving the user’s overall site experience. The cookie and web beacon do not contain any Personal Information, but collect your IP address. You have the ability not to receive a cookie file and to disable a web beacon by enabling your Web Browser to refuse cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie. The vast majority of visitors to our site leave their cookies enabled, and those refusing to accept cookies may not have access to certain tools, services and/or features offered by our site. You may also manually delete cookie files from your computer’s hard drive.
We do not respond to a web browser's "Do Not Track" signal. Such a signal enables a person to opt out from having information about their web browsing activities monitored and collected; however, since there is not uniform industry agreement as to how to respond, we do not currently honor such a request.
Starting January 1, 2020 California consumers have new privacy rights to their personal information (PI) including the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights. You can request:
- a copy of your PI (subject to statutory exceptions) that we collected in the past 12 months including a disclosure of the categories of PI collected, sold and shared for a business purpose;
- to delete PI we collected from you unless we need to keep it for certain reasons. For example, if you are traveling we need your PI and itinerary information to provide the services you purchased.
- to opt-out of the sale of your PI if we sell it (which we do not).
