Gocruising.ca PRIVACY POLICY
- Privacy
Philosophy
CruiseHolidays wants to make your
experience online satisfying and safe. We want to
provide you with the means to control your privacy and
give you a way to voice questions or concerns you may
have.
Information is collected from you to make it easier and
more rewarding for you to use our services. We use this
information to design initiatives that are designed as
a platform to deliver a broad range of personalized
products and services to our customers across a variety
of different consumer brands. By knowing customer
preferences, services and special offerings can be
tailored to eliminate hassles and provide superior
levels of convenience on a one-to-one basis.
Depending on the service you are accessing,
you could be asked at various times to provide
information such as your name, email address or
information about what you like and do not like. On
other occasions when we provide items for purchase
online, we may request your credit card number to
conclude the transaction or your mailing address to
insure proper delivery. We recognize that the value of
our brands rests in customer relationships and we
strongly support the rights of consumers to maintain
privacy of personal data.
- Who Is
Collecting the Information
The information
that you provide is collected by Precision Sales which is a franchisee of the "Cruise
Holidays" brand of independently owned and operated
travel agencies.
Ownership of any information you provide us will be
held by this Company alone. We will not sell ownership
of this data to any other company or organization
- Our
Commitments to Your Family
Like you, we have
children of our own and are concerned about their
safety when they use the Internet. We want you and your
family to be safe while visiting our Internet sites.
That is why, consistent with the Federal
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from children.
- What
Information Do We Collect?
We collect information in several different ways. We
collect the domain name of visitors to our Web pages,
the e-mail addresses of those visitors who volunteer
them, user-specific information on the pages visitors
access, and information such as survey information,
postal address, telephone numbers and site
registrations that you provide voluntarily. Like many
other commercial websites, our websites may employ a
standard technology called a "cookie" to collect
information about how our site is used.
- How the
Information Is Used
We use the information
that we collect to understand your preferences and
history. With this information we can tailor our
services and special offerings to provide superior
levels of convenience and service on a one-to-one
basis. We also use the collected information to improve
the design of our Web pages.
We will not transfer information to competitors.
Information about your preferences is only used to help
us understand the products and services that might be
attractive to you. Based on information you provide us,
combinations of travel and hospitality might be
something that would interest you but the information
will always be held by the one Company to which it was
given.
If you provide us with your e-mail address, we may
occasionally send you e-mail offers, informing you
about products and services. If you provide us with
your postal address, you may receive periodic mailings
from us with information on new products and services
or upcoming events. These offers may be based on
information you provided us in your responses to our
surveys and on your history with us as a
customer.
Our ability to provide enhanced services and content
may occasionally depend on our ability to provide
targeted advertising for our partners and clients. This
allows us to review the actions of our visitors to
determine what they want and do not want; provide
advertisements from time to time that support our
customers' specific requests; develop summary
reports for our advertisers that contain raw numbers or
statistics (but never tell them who it was that saw or
clicked on their advertisements unless you have
agreed); and send customers e-mail communications on
information we think they will find useful, including
information about new products and services from our
selected partners. It is our policy to never send
messages to members who have asked us not to do so,
either at initial registration or later through an
unsubscribe process.
- Information Distribution
If you
are providing personal information within a
registration page, it will only be used within our
domain unless you choose to allow third party data
sharing.
Although unlikely, we may be required by law
enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
personally identifiable information to the appropriate
governmental authorities. If requested as part of a
legal proceeding, we will provide this information upon
receipt of the appropriate documentation.
Other companies which place advertising on our site may
collect information about you when you view or click on
their advertising or content through the use of cookies
(using the same techniques described in Paragraph 4).
Due to the way the Internet technically operates, we
cannot control this collection of information. You
should contact these advertisers or content providers
if you have any questions about their use of the
information they collect.
There will be links that will let you leave our site.
We do not control the links or their sites and we are
not responsible for the contents of any linked site or
any link contained in a linked site. The inclusion of
any link does not imply endorsement of the site. The
use and/or privacy provided by the operator of a linked
site as to any information you provide in accessing a
linked site is in no way subject to our privacy policy.
Each linked site may have its own policy that could
differ considerably from our policy, or the linked site
may not display any privacy policy at all. In any case,
even though a linked site is accessed through our site,
we cannot be responsible for any use that a linked site
may make of your information.
- Declining
Offers
If you do not want to receive posted or
e-mail offers from us or from our partners, please let
us know by sending us an e-mail message to
info@gocruising.ca
telling us that you do not want to receive offers. Our
e-mailed offers include instructions for unsubscribing
from e-mailed offers. If you want to be removed from
our postal mailing list, please provide us with your
complete name and address.
- What Kind
of Security Procedures Are in Place to Protect the
Loss, Misuse or Alteration of Information Under the
Company's Control
We operate secure data
networks protected by industry standard firewall and
password protection systems. Our security and privacy
policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers. Any
particularly sensitive information, such as a
customer's credit card number, is encrypted prior
to transmission.
- How You
Can Correct Any Inaccuracies in the
Information
You have the ability to access and
edit the personal information that you have provided to
us. To update the information retained about you, or to
deactivate your account, please send an e-mail message
to
info@gocruising.ca
- Your
Acceptance of These Terms
By using this site,
you agree to our Privacy Policy. We may also change the
Policy from time to time, so please be sure to visit
this site often to see if anything has changed. If we
post changes and you continue to use the site, you will
be deemed to have agreed to the changes.
