The Effortless Vacations Privacy Policy

Effective Date of Current Policy: September 1, 2006

OUR MISSION

At Effortless Vacations, we are dedicated to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personally identifiable information. The Effortless Vacations mission is to continually exceed our clients’ expectations in terms of the products and services we provide to our clients. We strive to create experiences that anticipate and that are responsive to our clients’ needs by using the information you provide us with responsibly. Effortless Vacations is committed to respecting your privacy and adhering to the principles of applicable data protection and privacy laws throughout the world.

We have provided this Privacy Policy as an explanation of the information we collect, how we use it, and how the use of this information can benefit your experience on an Effortless Vacation trip, on our Web site and throughout your relationship with us. We wish to help you make informed decisions, so please take a moment to read the sections below.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Effortless Vacations collects two types of information during your visits to our Site.

First, we collect non-personally identifiable information. When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages of the Site were visited, the order in which they were visited and which links were “clicked.” Collecting such information involves logging the IP addresses, operating system and browser software used by each visitor to the Site. Although such information is not personally identifiable, it may be possible to determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity.

We also use “cookies” and other tracking technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information regarding you. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies make it possible for us to recognize your browser when you visit our Site. By doing this, we can personalize your return visits. Your browser must be set to accept cookies in order for you to enjoy these benefits.

Second, we collect personally identifiable information. In general, our Site uses a request for information form so that you can request information on products and services from us. These forms require that you provide us with personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number).

As a prospect or client we also collect information about your vacation habits (e.g. where you like to vacation, who you travel with, how often you travel, etc.) and preferences (e.g. airlines you like to fly, frequent flyer numbers, types of food you like to eat, etc.) so that we can better serve you on your vacation. As a client, we will collect billing information such as credit card numbers, billing addresses and expiration dates, etc. so that we can book your travel facilities and vacation activities as well as bill you for your Effortless Vacations services.

We attempt to identify when information is required and when it is optional. At any point, you are not required to provide information that you do not prefer to provide. However, your lack of information sharing may hinder our ability to provide services to you and respond to your requests.

All information collected via email, in person and over the telephone also adheres to the same rules as this Privacy Policy.

HOW WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION

HOW INFORMATION IS STORED

Effortless Vacations seeks to use reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personally identifiable information that is under our control. Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result of the foregoing, while we seek to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and the Effortless Vacations servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with the Site. You provide all such information at your own risk.
