How we

How we use
cookies
When you
access our website, we, or companies we hire to track how our website is used,
may place small data files called "cookies" on your computer.
We send a
"session cookie" to your computer when you log in to your account. This type of
cookie helps us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages on our site during
the same session, so that we don’t need to ask you for your password on each
page. Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer
has any effect.
We also
use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to display your e-mail
address on our sign-in form, so that you don't need to retype the e-mail address
each time you log in to your account.
You are
free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere
with your use of our website. We may also collect information about your
computer or other access device to mitigate risk and for fraud prevention
purposes.
How we
protect and store personal information
Throughout
this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that
can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that
person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has
been anonymized so that it does not identify a specific user.
We store
and process your personal information on our computers in the US, and we protect
it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance
with applicable US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards
such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to
our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only
for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.
How we use
the personal information we collect
Our
primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a
secure, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal
information to:
-
provide
the services and customer support you request;
-
process
transactions and send notices about your transactions
-
resolve
disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
-
prevent
potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement;
-
customize,
measure, and improve our services and the content and layout of our website;
-
send you
targeted marketing, service update notices, and promotional offers based on your
communication preferences;
-
compare
information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.
How we
share personal information with other PayPal users

booking reservations with our services, we may provide the lodging establishment
with your confirmed billing information to help complete your transaction with
the lodging establishment. The lodging establishment is not allowed to use this
information to market their services to you unless you have agreed to it.
How we
share personal information with other parties
We may
share your personal information with:
-
Service
providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations; (fraud
prevention, bill collection, marketing, technology services). Our contracts
dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection
with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
-
Credit
bureaus to report account information, as permitted by law.
-
Companies
that we plan to merge with or be acquired by. (Should such a combination occur,
we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with
respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used
contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
-
Law
enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when
-
we are
compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure
-
we need to
do so to comply with law

we believe
in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to
prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity,
or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.

Other
third parties with your consent or direction to do so.
ReservationTrack will not sell or rent any of your personal information to third
parties for their marketing purposes and only shares your personal information
with third parties as described in this policy.
