Privacy Policy
1.Privacy commitment
The Prudenttravels website is owned
and operated by Prudent Travels. We are committed to safeguarding
your privacy online. Please read this Privacy Policy to understand
how your personal information will be treated. This policy may
change from time to time so please check it periodically.
2.Information collected
A). If you wish to subscribe
to Prudenttravels, we ask for some personal details. These details
include your name, e-mail, job title and company (which we use to
build up a profile of our readership) and your day time telephone
number (so we can speak to you should any problems arise with your
subscription).
B) We may also ask you whether
you would like to receive promotional emails and mailings from us
about our other products or services or from other companies about
their products and services which may be of interest to you.
C). We will only pass on your
details to other companies if you have indicated that you would like
to receive further information from them. If you would like to
revise the information provided to us, or feel what we currently
have on record is incorrect, you may update the information by
emailing info@prudenttravels.com
D). We may from time to time
ask you for further information in order to update our records or
for particular purposes. We will always tell you how we will use any
further information received from you. We may share aggregate data,
based on users' demographics, interests, and behaviour with our
advertisers or business partners but this aggregate data will not
contain identifiable personal data.
3.Log files
A). Every time someone visits
our web site a log file is generated on our computer. This contains
information such as the user's IP (Internet Protocol) address, how
long that user spent on the site and which parts of it they looked
at. We collect this information to help us diagnose problems and
administer our systems, to report aggregate information to our
advertisers, and to audit the use of our site (e.g. what part of the
world users are connecting from, or what ISPs are being used).
B). We do not normally link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that you
remain anonymous even though we include your IP address in our
aggregate information. However, we can and will attempt to use IP
addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce
compliance with our terms and conditions, or to protect our services
and other users.
4.Cookies
A). Cookies are small pieces
of information that are stored on and retrieved from your computer
by websites for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an
industry standard and you will find them in use at most major
websites.
B). We use cookies in a
variety of ways. For example:
a). Cookies are the simplest way for
us to track user trends and patterns, such as how many people use
different parts of the website. This helps us better understand
which parts of our service users find valuable, and know what areas
to improve;
b). We use cookies to recognize you
when you visit our website, and to save you time when logging in. We
also use them to keep track of your personal preferences so you
don't have to keep reminding us of them.
c). Cookies may be used to help match
advertising to particular interests. Some of the advertising
displayed on the website may be provided by outside companies and
may contain additional cookies belonging to our advertisers but
these cookies will not contain any personal identifiable information
about you.
d). Most computers are set up to
automatically accept cookies. However, you can reset your browser
settings to refuse cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being sent
so you can choose whether or not to accept it. Unfortunately, if you
choose to refuse our cookies, some parts of our service may be
slower or not function properly.
5.Use and disclosure of personal
information
A) If you contact us we may
keep a record of that correspondence and incorporate the information
it contains into our database.
B). If we are requested by the
police or a regulatory or government authority investigating illegal
activities to provide information concerning your activities whilst
using the network we shall do so. Similarly, we will disclose your
personal data as part of a transaction whereby our company or
business assets are transferred to a third party or if we are
compelled to do so by law.
6.How we protect information
A). We take every precaution
to protect your information. To this end all personal information
stored by us is kept on a server in a secure environment. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
B). There are areas of our
website where you may be asked to transmit credit card information
in order to complete a purchase transaction or for verification
purposes. Any time we ask for a credit card number, it will be
transmitted in an encrypted format using industry-standard, SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption.
7.How you can help us protect your
information
A). Please keep in mind that
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online in
non-protected environments - for example on message boards, through
email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used
by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is
accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from
other parties in return.
B). Also remember to close
your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to
ensure that others cannot access your personal information and
correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are
using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
We cannot 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.
8.Surveys, Competitions and
Promotions
From time to time we may conduct
surveys, competitions and promotions and may request information
from you as part of these. Participation in these is entirely
voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose
any information which might be required.
9.Email Newsletters
A). You have the option to
receive various email services we might offer and in this regard we
present the option to not receive these types of communications.
B). From time to time we need
to send you site and service announcement updates.
10.Correction/Updating Personal
Information
If your personal information changes
or if you no longer wish to subscribe, we will endeavor to correct,
update or remove the personal data provided to us as speedily as
possible. This can be done by emailing us at info@prudenttravels.com
