Privacy
Wentrip is committed to
respecting your privacy. We have designed our websites and booking engines so
that you may visit them without identifying yourself or revealing any personal
information, unless you opt to do so. Once you opt to provide personally
identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified such as
name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit card number), it will
only be used to support your customer relationship with us and for our own
internal purposes, including marketing and research, customization of our
websites and improving the content of our websites.
This Online Privacy Statement regarding the privacy of the information you
provide online covers the following main areas: Awareness, What we Collect,
Information Sharing, Choice, Access & Accuracy, Security, Oversight, and Right
to Change.
Awareness
Wentrip provides this Online Privacy Statement to inform you about our privacy
policy and the practices and choices you can make about the way your information
is collected and used. This notice may be accessed from any area of Wentrips
websites and our online proprietary booking engines.
What we collect
When making a reservation:
When you make a reservation online or by phone through our customer support
center, you will be asked for your name, address, phone number, e-mail address
and credit card information. This information is used to contact you for
customer service, to guaranty your reservation with our travel suppliers and/or
to bill you for your travel purchase. We may also ask you for other personal
information, such as your frequent traveler numbers. During the booking process
you can choose not to receive our newsletter or travel reminders by unchecking
the appropriate boxes on the online form. Thereafter, if you would rather not
receive them, please click on the "unsubscribe" link or follow the instructions
in each e-mail message.
Third-party vendors:
Some of Wentrips online booking engines are powered by third-party vendors. You
should note that these vendors may have privacy policies and practices that
differ from those of Wentrip. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy
policies of these vendors when using their websites.
E-Postcards:
Wentrip provides electronic postcards cards via our websites and our affiliate
websites for you to send to a friend. We store the e-mail address of all
recipients, the message you want to send and the URL for locating the greeting
card. We do not sell, distribute, or license in anyway the use of recipient
e-mail addresses. We use them solely for the purposes of notifying recipients on
your behalf that a card is waiting for them at the designated URL. After 30
days, all information pertaining to your postcard is deleted.
About Cookies
Many websites, including those owned by Wentrip, use cookie technology to help
users navigate efficiently. The cookie is a small text file that resides on your
hard drive. From time to time, our site(s) will request the cookie from your
browser so that we can retrieve the stored information. This allows you to avoid
making the same selections over and over again. Wentrip does not use cookies to
store personal information, such as credit-card numbers.
An example of how cookies are used is as follows: When you conduct a search
using our booking engine for hotels in Orlando, a cookie will be set recording
the city of Orlando as the parameter of your search. When you return to the
search form to narrow or change your search, Orlando will automatically be
entered into the city field in the search form.
Please note that with most browsers, a user can set the preferences to show a
warning each time a cookie request is received. You can also usually set the
browser not to accept cookies at all. However, to make your experience using our
booking engines as convenient as possible, we suggest that you allow your
browser to accept cookies.
Information Sharing
Wentrip will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information
to third parties. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will
only share the personal data you provide online with other third-party vendors
that are acting to complete reservation services. We do not knowingly permit the
site to be used by any person under the age of eighteen and we do not knowingly
collect any personal information from children (meaning those younger than
thirteen years of age). We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
Choice
Wentrip will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided
to us online in ways unrelated to the purposes described above without letting
you know and offering you a choice. Please be aware that our website and those
of our affiliates may contain links to other websites, and that the privacy
practices of these other websites may differ from those of Wentrip. This Online
Privacy Policy does not apply to other websites. We encourage you to read the
privacy policies of all other websites you visit.
Access & Accuracy
Wentrip strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. We
make every effort to provide you with online access to your registration data so
that you may update or correct your information. To protect your privacy and
security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before
granting you access or enabling you to make corrections to your user account.
Security
Wentrip is committed to protecting the security of your information. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of
information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use
encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card
information.
Oversight

[email protected]
Your use of our website is subject to our User Agreement.
Right to Change
We review our Privacy Policy from time to time, and may make changes to the
policy pursuant to such review. Please periodically review this page to make
sure you have the current version. Regardless of changes, we will abide by the
privacy practices described to you in this Privacy Policy at the time you
provided us with your personal information. The foregoing Privacy Policy was
