Privacy Policy Expedix Travels has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practice for the Expedix Travels Web site (www.expedixtravels.com). Using the Internet should be a fun experience and we want to help you make it so.
When you reserve or purchase travel services through Expedix Travels, we will ask you to provide us with personal information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, credit card information and other personal identifying information. We need this information in order to process your travel arrangements and need to share this personal information with the relevant car rental agency, hotel, travel agency and/or other involved third party. Credit card information is not stored by the Expedix Travels Web site.
As a user of Expedix Travels, you have the option to engage in certain additional activities on the site, or receiving our e-mail alerts. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Expedix Travels may require you to provide us with personal information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and other personal identifying information. Expedix Travels needs to collect this personal information for various reasons, which may include: (i) disseminating our e-mail; (ii) aggregating statistical information; and (iii) tracking and verifying compliance with Expedix Travels policies and international, federal, state and local laws.
Expedix Travels recognizes and respects the importance of responsible use of your personal information. If you do not want the information you provide to Expedix Travels to be used to inform you of other products and special offers from Expedix Travels, and you indicate this preference when you provide the information, Expedix Travels will honor your preference. In case you change your mind or some personal information may change (such as your zip code), we provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this at the member information page or by contacting our Customer Support.
OPTING-OUT To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications directed to you, we allow you to opt-out of receiving certain communications from Expedix Travels about new features or services. If a guest objects to such use for any reason, you may stop that use, either by e-mail request to Expedix Travels Customer Support or by modifying your member information online.
Information provided when reserving or purchasing travel services through Expedix Travels, may be used for marketing and promotional purposes and is subject to the opt-out processes described on, or linked to, each order form.
USE OF TRAFFIC DATA Each time a visitor comes to our Web site, we collect some information to improve the overall quality of the online experience. At the Web site, we collect the visitor's domain name (i.e., where the user is logged on, such as from Yahoo.com, etc.), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to the Expedix Travels Web site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). We collect visitor information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. We also count, track, and aggregate all visitors' activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g., tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the Expedix Travels properties, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about you into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but Expedix Travels will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When Expedix Travels does present aggregated information to outside companies, no one is able to identify you or contact you.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the big computers that 'serve up' web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
Expedix Travels collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate, or combined, information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from the Expedix Travels Web site, our servers log the user's IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
USE OF Email DATA Expedix Travels will use your e-mail address to send correspondence about reservation confirmations, important updates about your travel plans and newsletters. Members who sign up to receive Expedix Travels' newsletter and notifications of travel specials, will receive a Expedix Travels content newsletter delivered either on a monthly basis, as well as occasional product-related announcements.
Users can choose to unsubscribe from Expedix Travels newsletters or product-related announcements at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions found in each e-mail or by contacting our Customer Support organization.
SECURITY Expedix Travels has taken strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. 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, Expedix Travels can not 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. When credit card information is transmitted we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. SSL is a coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble data before you send it to us.
Unfortunately, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Therefore, although we will endeavour to protect your privacy as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private.
Your Expedix Travels account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to the account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Expedix Travels will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS By using this site, you signify your assent to the Expedix Travels Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the Expedix Travels Web site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Any such change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon posting to the Expedix Travels Web site.
CONTACTING THE WEB SITE If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this Web site, you may contact Expedix Travels Customer Support via email.
