Privacy Policy
At our core, we prioritize your
privacy and are committed to safeguarding your data. We want you to know that
we won't inundate you with unsolicited emails, messages, or calls. Our Privacy
Policy outlines our approach to collecting, using, and protecting your personal
information. Personal information, encompassing details like name, address,
contact number, email address, financial information, and IP address, is
treated with the utmost care. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to
understand how we handle your data. Importantly, we want to assure you that we
do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
Information Collection
We collect personal data,
encompassing identifiable information like names, addresses, dates of birth,
passwords, and payment details, which can be linked to an individual. This
excludes anonymized or de-identified data. Personally identifiable information
is gathered in the following scenarios:
Reservation and Package
Selection
When you make reservations or
choose packages via our Website, App, or customer service.
Registration and Interactions:
During registration, information requests, newsletter subscriptions, feedback
sharing, or any other interaction related to availed holiday packages.
Online and Offline Engagement:
Involvement in online/offline events, expressing interest on third-party
platforms, or voluntary provision of details for promotions.
Mandatory Registration:
Certain activities, like placing orders, require mandatory registration for
full access to our Website.
We utilize your contact
information to send offers, payment reminders, travel vouchers, and travel
sector updates via newsletters. If you prefer not to receive such information,
an unsubscribe option is available in the email messages you receive.
Information Sharing Practices
When you reserve or purchase
travel services through us, we share specific personal information with
airlines, hotels, suppliers, or other relevant third parties to ensure the
successful fulfillment of your travel arrangements. Importantly, we do not sell
or rent individual customer names or personal information to third parties.
We use non-personally identifiable
information in aggregate form to enhance the quality of our online services.
This involves statistical analysis of customer and visitor characteristics and
behavior. Aggregate data, devoid of personal identifiers, may be shared with
suppliers, advertisers, affiliates, and other business partners. This
information may also be used to inform third parties about the visibility and
engagement levels of links to their websites.
On occasion, we may enlist a third
party for projects like market research surveys or contest-entry processing.
Information shared with these third parties is protected by confidentiality
agreements and is intended solely for the completion of the specified project.
Data Retention Policy
We retain your personal data only
for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
This includes meeting legal, accounting, or statutory reporting requirements.
The determination of the appropriate retention period takes into account
factors such as the type, quantity, and sensitivity of the personal data, the
potential risks associated with unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes of
processing the data, alternative means of achieving those purposes, and
relevant legal requirements.
Certain information may be
retained even after the closure of your account if it is essential to fulfill
legal obligations, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or
defend/enforce our rights. Our data retention practices are designed to ensure
compliance with legal standards while safeguarding your privacy.
Opting Out of Promotional
Communications
As a member or participant in
promotions/sweepstakes, you may receive periodic email and SMS updates about
fare sales, special deals, newsletters, new services, and other relevant
offerings. To tailor your communication preferences, you have the option to
unsubscribe. Simply click on the "unsubscribe" link or follow the
instructions in each email message. If you prefer, you can also send us an
email expressing your choice.
We respect your decision, and you
won't receive promotional communications if you opt out. However, please note
that we reserve the right to limit membership to those who accept emails, and
members will be notified via email before any such actions are taken.
Additional Privacy Information
External Links:
Our website may contain links to other sites. Clicking on these links
directs you to external websites for which we bear no responsibility. We
strongly advise reading the privacy statements of these external sites, as
their policies may significantly differ from ours.
Password Security:
You are solely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of your
passwords. Exercise caution and responsibility, especially when online.
Legal Disclosures:
In addition to the scenarios mentioned earlier, we may disclose information
about our site members if compelled by law, court order, government or law
enforcement request. This may also occur in situations where we believe, in
good faith, that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or properties of
Tripsandtrade.com, its affiliates, associates, employees, directors, or
officers. This includes instances where disclosure is deemed necessary to
identify, contact, or take legal action against individuals causing
interference with our rights or properties, intentionally or otherwise, or if
harm could be inflicted on others by such activities.
