Effective Date: Nov 1, 2016
To review material modifications and their effective dates scroll to the bottom of the page.
1. Privacy Statement; Collection of Personal Information.
1.1 "The Travel Agent Next Door" owns and operates this website business. All references to "we", "us", this "website" or this "site" shall be construed to mean The Travel Agent Next Door.
1.2 We understand that visitors to this website are concerned about the privacy of information. The following describes our privacy policy regarding information, including personal information, which we collect through this website.
2. Modification of Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and
without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy that is
always accessible by clicking on the "Privacy Policy" link
on this site's home page. Your continued use of this site
indicates your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. You should
check the Privacy Policy through this link periodically for
modifications by clicking on the link provided near the top of the
Privacy Policy for a listing of material modifications and their
effective dates. Regarding personal information, if any modifications
are materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of the
personal information previously disclosed by you, we will obtain your
consent before implementing such revisions with respect to such
information.
3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information.
We reserve the right to monitor your use of this site. As you
navigate through this site, certain anonymous information may be
passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing
the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet
tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files,
server logs, clickstream). The following is a listing and a brief
explanation of passive information collection methodologies which we
may use from time to time to better understand how this site is being
used.
3.1 A "cookie" is a text file that this site sends to your browser in the form of a text file the information generated by the cookie about your use of this site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but they usually can be modified to decline cookies if you prefer; however, certain features of this site might not work without cookies.
3.2 "Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the site "remembers" previous entries of country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
3.3 "Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided, helping to determine what areas of the site you may find most valuable, and customizing the site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site in your computer do not hold personal information.
3.4 You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences, please search for "cookie" in the "Help" portion of your browser.
3.5 An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in many cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the site.
3.6 "Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) tell the website server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.
3.7 "Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information
This site may make full use of passively collected anonymous
information, including without limitation the right to use such
information to provide better service to site visitors, customize the
site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and
trends, and otherwise administer and improve this site for your use.
We reserve the right to share this anonymous, passive information in
aggregated form.
5. 1st Party Behavioral Ads
We reserve the right to use anonymous, passive information about
your visits to this and other websites (not including your name,
address, email address or telephone number) for purposes of serving
our ads that are targeted to your interests ("1st Party
Behavioral Ads"). We do not share anonymous, passive information
collected on this site with third parties for purposes of serving 1st
Behavioral Ads.
These 1st Behavioral Ads do not identify you personally. Instead, they associate your behavioral data on visited sites with your IP address, so that the ads your computer sees on this site are more likely to be relevant to your interests. 1st Party Behavioral Ads require that that you be served with a cookie containing a tracking code. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this site.
6. Use of 3rd Party Cookies
We reserve the right to use web analytics services provided by
third parties. These services use 3rd party cookies to collect
anonymous, passive information about your use of this site (see
explanation of cookies in Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information
above). We use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use
of this site, compiling reports on website activity, and providing
other services. These web analytics services may also transfer this
information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where
such third parties process the information on the service's
behalf.
7. Collection of Personal Information; Categories.
7.1 We will ask you for personal information when you sign up for any specific benefit or purpose that requires registration. Personal information that we collect may vary with each registration, and it may include one or more of the following categories: name, physical address, an email address, phone number, and credit card information including credit card number, expiration date, and billing address.
7.2 We reserve the right to tie or link your personal information to anonymous, passive information with persistent identifiers, as follows:
link your email address (personal information) with information collected by a cookie regarding the length of time you visit our site (anonymous, passive information). In these cases, the anonymous, passive information will be considered personal information, and our policies discussed below regarding our use and sharing of personal information will apply.
8. Use and Sharing of Personal Information

exceptions listed below) is that we will use your personal information

10. Security of Personal Information
We follow reasonable and appropriate industry standards to
protect your personal information and data. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet or method of data storage can be
guaranteed 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your
personal information by following generally accepted industry
standards, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any
information you transmit to us or archive at this site.
11. Changing and Updating Personal Information
Upon request, we will permit you to request or make changes or

request identification prior to approving such requests. We reserve

administrative personnel, or undermine the privacy rights of others.
