We understand that booking online involves significant trust on your part. We value your trust, and make it a high priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide to us. Please read this policy to learn about our privacy practices. By visiting this Website, you are accepting the practices described herein.
What information we collect from you
In General
We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us in any other way. This includes information that can identify you ("Personal Details"), including your given and family name, telephone number, postal and email addresses, fax number, and billing information (such as credit card number, cardholder name, and expiration date). We may also request information about your travel preferences such as hotel room and meal preferences. You can choose not to provide information to us, but in general, some information about you is required in order for you to register as a member, book travel, complete a traveller profile, participate in a survey or contest, ask us a question, or initiate other transactions on our Website.
Travel Companion Information
When you make a reservation for someone else through this Website, we will request personal details and travel preferences about that individual. You should obtain the consent of other individuals prior to providing us with their personal details and travel preferences, as any access to view or change their information will be available only through your account.
Information from Other Sources
We may obtain both personal and non-personal information about you from affiliated entities, business partners and other independent third-party sources and add it to our account information and member database. Examples of information we may receive include updated personal details, purchase history, and demographic information
Automatic Information
We automatically collect some information about your computer when you visit this Website. For example, we will collect your IP address, Web browser software (such as Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer), and referring website. We may also collect information about your online activity, such as trips made to our Website and bookings made. Our goals in collecting this automatic information include helping to customise your user experience. For more information, please see "Cookies" below.
How we use your information
We use sensitive billing information (such as cardholder name, credit card number, and expiration date) for the purpose of completing the travel bookings you conduct on our Website. We may use other information about you for the following purposes: provide you with the products and services you request; provide you with travel confirmation and updates; manage your account, including processing bills and providing travel notifications; communicate with you in general; respond to your questions and comments; notify you about special promotions that may be of interest to you; participate in any lucky draw; solicit information from you through surveys; resolve disputes, collect fees, or troubleshoot problems; prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; enforce our Terms of Use; and as otherwise described to you at the point of collection.
Email Communications
We want to make it easy for you to take advantage of travel-related opportunities on our Website. One way we do this is by sending you email messages or e-newsletter broadcasts that contain information about your apparent travel-related interests or our travel promotions. For example, if you search for a flight to Hong Kong on our Website and did not opt out to receive our e-newsletter, we may send you an email message in the form of an e-newsletter from time to time. We believe these email messages will provide you with useful information about travel-related special offers available through our Website. Please note that you will have the opportunity to choose not to receive these email messages.
Please review "How you can control the collection and use of your information" below.
Who we share your information with
This Website may share your information with the following entities:
Suppliers, such as hotel, airline, car rental, and overseas tour operators, who fulfill your travel reservations. We do not share your email address with these suppliers unless they need it to fulfill the travel reservation you have made on our Website, and we restrict their use of this information to that purpose. We do not place limitations on our suppliers' use or disclosure of your other personal details. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any travel supplier whose products you purchase through this Website. Please note that these suppliers also may contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about you, facilitate your travel reservation, or respond to a review you may submit.
Third party vendors who provide services or functions on our behalf, including credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, distribution of surveys or lucky draws, and fraud prevention. We may also authorise third party vendors to collect information on our behalf, including as necessary to operate features of our Website or to facilitate the delivery of online advertising tailored to your interests. Third party vendors have access to and may collect information only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.
Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services, or whose products or services may be offered on our Website. In most cases, you can tell when a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear somewhere on the relevant web page, either alone or with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we may share information about you, including your personal details, with those partners. Please note that we do not control the privacy practices of these third party business partners.
Referring websites
If you were referred to this Website from another site (for example, through a link you clicked on another site that directed you to this one), we may share some information about you with that referring website. We have not placed limitations on the referring websites' use of your personal details and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website that referred you here.
Companies within our corporate family
We may share your personal details with our corporate affiliates. This sharing enables us to provide you with more information about our products and services. To the extent that our corporate affiliates have access to your information, they will follow practices that are at least as restrictive as the practices described in this Privacy Policy. At a minimum, they will give you an opportunity to choose not to receive email messages in the form of e- newsletters in the future.
We also may share your information
In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law
