Hotel Marketers


Privacy Policy

This privacy statement is applicable to Hotel-Marketers.com and any other site that the Hotel Marketers own and operate.




Children Under 18

Hotel Marketers does not intend to collect any personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you should not enter information on any Hotel Marketers website and should ask a parent to do so for you. If you are under 18, Hotel Marketers must have express written permission from a parent before you may use any Hotel Marketers site. The authorizing parent must email us at Just@Hotel-Marketers.com, certifying the parent's age and authority, and giving us express permission to acquire and retain any such personal information from you as we may normally obtain from users of any of our sites.



Information Collection

Hotel Marketers does not collect personally identifiable information about you in any of its domains except when you specifically provide this information on a voluntary basis. For example, we might ask for such information when we run a contest or when you register for subscription services. Hotel Marketers will make every effort to ensure that whatever information you provide will be maintained in a secure environment. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Hotel Marketers can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.



Information Sharing

Hotel Marketers will not sell or trade your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties.

However, we reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status, changes to the subscriber agreement, and any other matter that might affect your records.

Hotel Marketers may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Hotel Marketers' rights or property, other Hotel Marketers users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Hotel Marketers may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.



Information Use

You should be aware that Hotel Marketers may sometimes permit third parties to offer services through a Hotel Marketers site. Hotel Marketers is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties, and you should check the applicable privacy policy of any third party when providing personally identifiable information.

Hotel Marketers collects IP addresses for system administration, record keeping, and advertising reporting. Your IP address is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the World Wide Web. Hotel Marketers' servers record incoming IP addresses. The IP addresses are analyzed only in aggregate; no connection is made between you and your computer's IP address. By tracking IP addresses, we can determine which sites refer the most people to Hotel Marketers. (Think of an IP address like your zip code; it tells us in general terms where you're from.)

You should be very cautious when you voluntarily disclose personal information (for example, name or e-mail address) on bulletin boards, in chat areas, or the upload areas of any Hotel Marketers site. That information, along with any other information you may disclose in your posting, can be collected, correlated, and used by third parties, and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Hotel Marketers.



Cookies

You should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Hotel Marketers Internet servers or through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat users. Hotel Marketers uses cookies to recognize visitors and more quickly provide personalized content or grant you unimpeded access to registered areas of our websites. With cookies enabled, you will not need to fill in password or contact information, should areas of our sites ask for this information.

Information gathered through cookies also helps us measure use of our sites. Cookie data allow us to track usage behavior and compile data that we can use to improve the site and target advertising. This data will be used in aggregate form; no specific users will be tracked.

Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside of the website that he or she is visiting. Sometimes, advertisers or third parties hosting data for Hotel Marketers will issue cookies. Hotel Marketers cannot control the use of these cookies or the information that they gather.

You can easily turn off cookies. Most browsers have a feature that allows the user to refuse cookies or issues a warning when cookies are being sent. Remember, though, cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on Hotel Marketers' sites. Some areas of our sites may not function properly without cookies. Enabling cookies ensures a smooth, efficient visit to our sites.



Links to Other Sites

Hotel Marketers may offer links to other sites from sites within the Hotel Marketers domain. Hotel Marketers has no control over these external sites or their content, and cannot be held responsible for any actions they may take or any information they might collect. You may arrive at one of these sites through clicking on a banner advertisement, as part of a co-branding arrangement, or simply by selecting a link on a Hotel Marketers web page. These sites might issue their own cookies or collect data or personal information. Use caution when visiting an external site.



Hotel Marketers Security

Hotel Marketers is aware of your privacy concerns and strives to collect only as much data as is required to make your Internet and/or product use experience as efficient and satisfying as possible, in the most unobtrusive manner as possible.

The foregoing policies are effective as of 1 March, 2004. Hotel Marketers reserves the right to change this policy at any time. By using this site, you signify your assent to the Hotel Marketers Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the Hotel Marketers sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
