CheapVacationHomes.com Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the information collection practices that Cheap Vacation Homes and its respective subsidiaries (“CheapVacationHomes.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” if not explicitly referring to one company) follow when handling Personal Information (defined below) that we collect or receive in conducting our business, including through our services, content, websites, and user applications (the “Sites”), as further explained below. Employment data is not subject to this Privacy Policy, but will be covered under separate policies and procedures of, and agreements among, the various CheapVacationHomes.com companies. If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), you may have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Information, as outlined below.  For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, references to the EU also include the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area countries Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Website Terms of Use.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, your choice is to not use our Sites.

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use the term “Personal Information” to mean any information relating to an identified individual, or to an individual who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to such information.  For clarity, information that is anonymized in such a way that the data subject is not or is no longer identifiable is not Personal Information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OR ABOUT YOU

First and last name

Information necessary to process a credit card transaction, such as the credit card type, number, and expiration date.

Usage Information We Collect. In addition to Personal Information that you choose to submit to us, whenever you visit or interact with our Sites, we may collect or store information about your interaction with our Sites and Services (“Usage Information”). This Usage Information may include : your IP address or any other unique identifier assigned to the device that you use to access our Sites, your username, user and endpoint activity, browser window titles, the functionality and characteristics of your device, including type of browser, operating system and hardware, mobile network information, and in some cases location information, the URL that referred you to our Sites, if any, your activities on our Sites, such as which web pages you visit, what terms you searched within our Sites, and which links within our Sites that you click on, the time of day that you visited our Sites and how long your visit lasted

Information We Receive From Third Parties . We may receive Personal Information about you from third parties who recommend or suggest that we contact you for business purposes. This includes basic contact information about you, such as your name, company name, title, address, phone number, fax number, and email address. It may also include information on the content, products, or services you have shown interest in or may be interested in purchasing from us, as well as information on other companies or individuals with whom you do business. We may also obtain Personal Information about you from third parties in connection with business transactions you initiate with us, such as through credit verification or other processes related to the transaction.  Finally, if you interact with a third party service when using our Sites, such as if you use a third party service to log-in to our Sites (e.g., Facebook Connect, Google Sign-In, or Twitter OAuth), or if you share content from our Sites through a third party social media service, the third party service will send us information about you, such as information from your public profile, if the third party service and your account settings allow such sharing. All Personal Information received from third parties will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

ANALYTIC TECHNOLOGIES 

We use certain common methods and technologies to collect and store Usage Information about your interaction with our Sites (“Analytic Technologies”). These Analytic Technologies may be downloaded to the personal computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone that you use to access the Sites (“Your Device”). The specific Analytic Technologies that we use are as follows:

Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on Your Device when you visit our Sites. We use cookies only to facilitate the use and navigation of our Sites and to remember you and your preferences in case you revisit our Sites in the future and to conduct range measurement. Many browsers allow blocking of cookies in their entirety, removal of existing cookies, or warning to prevent the placing of a cookie. Please note that blocking of cookies might impede your use of our Sites. If you are a resident of the EU or other jurisdiction that requires us to obtain your consent to use cookies on our Sites, then you will have an opportunity to manage your cookie preferences on such Sites; except that certain cookies are essential to enable core site functionality, and you cannot choose to disable those cookies.

Web Beacons. A web beacon, including tracking pixels, is a small graphic image or other web programming code, also known as “1×1 GIF” or “clear GIF.” We may download web beacons to Your Device when you access our Sites or through email messages that we send to you. Web beacons are used to improve your experience on our Sites. Web beacons also help us to understand whether users read email messages and click on the links contained within those messages so that we can deliver relevant content and messages. Our web beacons may collect certain of your contact information (e.g., the email address associated with an email message that contains a web beacon).

Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with our Sites, such as which links within our Sites you click on, which type of browser or device you use (e.g. mobile or desktop version). We use such information to enhance the user experience. This code is downloaded onto Your Device when you access our Sites and is deactivated or deleted when you leave our Sites. Identification of the user does not take place.

Analytics. We use analytics applications, including “Google Analytics” and “Heap Analytics”, to collect information about use of our Sites. These applications collect information such as how often users visit a website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they visited prior to coming to a website. We use the information obtained from these applications only to improve our Sites and our product and service offerings. The information generated about your use of our Sites will be transferred and saved to the vendor’s server in the United States. For Google Analytics, within Member States of the European Union or other signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Google will first shorten your IP address. In exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the United States to be shortened there. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. Likewise, Heap Analytics’ ability to use and share information collected by their application about your visits to the Sites is restricted by the Heap Analytics Terms of Use and the Heap Analytics Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track Policy. Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Sites. Just like any other Usage Information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Sites and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Sites do not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Sites and after you leave our Sites.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Business Use. We use your Personal Information primarily to facilitate our ongoing and proposed business dealings with you (“Business Use”). This includes to: (1) process business transactions with us that you initiate, including without limitation orders of  services and the creation of user profiles; (2) establish and maintain customer accounts so that we may provide  services of ours requested by you or your company; (3) register you as a user of these services so that you may access them through our Sites or otherwise; (4) communicate with you about updates, maintenance, outages, or other technical matters concerning these  services; (5) notify you about changes to any of the policies and procedures for use of these  services; (6) verify the accuracy of account and technical contact information we have on file for you and your company in relation to these  services; (7) respond to questions or inquiries that you or your company may have about our  services. We also may use your Personal Information as required for us to comply with laws and regulations relating to the  services that we provide in any of the jurisdictions in which we or our affiliated companies operate, including the United States; and (10) we may use Usage Information internally within CheapVacationHomes.com to help us improve our services, or to develop new services.

We may also use your Personal Information to personalize the content of the Sites and communications based on your preferences, and to comply with our legal or contractual obligations and to resolve disputes. Additionally, we may use your Personal Information to protect against or deter fraudulent, illegal, or harmful actions and to enforce our terms and conditions of use (depending on which product or service you are using).

Marketing Purposes. With your consent or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may use your Personal Information for purposes relating to the marketing of our content, , and services, or those of our business partners (“Marketing Purposes”). This includes to : (1) send you newsletters, press releases, event announcements, and other similar communications regarding the  services that we offer; (2) market or promote our services to you, including by offering you trial or limited access to certain of our services; (3) either directly or through third-party services, solicit input from you regarding improvement of our services, including but not limited to, beta programs, product ratings and reviews, and interviews; (4) inform you of third-party offerings that we think you or your company may be interested in which relate to our  services; (5) send you announcements or requests on behalf of other customers of ours who believe you would benefit from use of our  services; and (6) other purposes that we disclose to you at the time we obtain your consent.

Referrals . From time to time, we may receive Personal Information about you from third parties who recommend or suggest that we contact you for business purposes. We receive such Personal Information because you have consented towards the third party that they might share your Personal Information. If we use that information to contact you, it will only be to see if you are interested in our  services, or those of our business partners. We will not use this information for other purposes without your consent. In addition, if you inform us that you are not interested in these  services, we will stop using the information to contact you.

Data Integrity. You are responsible for the accuracy of all Personal Information that you provide to us. We will use reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy and integrity of your Personal Information, and to update that information as appropriate. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we collect from you is relevant to its intended use, and that it is used only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise authorized by you.

Automated Decision Making.  We do not use any personal data provided by you for the purpose of automated decision-making.

RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to retain your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

WITH WHOM WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION

Within CheapVacationHomes.com. CheapVacationHomes.com is a company that transacts business across national borders. Accordingly, from time-to-time and subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy governing “CHOICE AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION AND PREFERENCES” (see below), we may share your Personal Information within CheapVacationHomes.com (i.e., between and among CheapVacationHomes.com and its subsidiaries). Such information may be used by each CheapVacationHomes.com entity for internal business and operational purposes, as well as for purposes consistent with the purpose for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you.

Outside of CheapVacationHomes.com. We may share your Personal Information with “Data Processors” as described below, and with other third parties for purposes disclosed to you at the time you provided the information, or as subsequently authorized by you. From time to time, we also may offer you the option of sharing your Personal Information with third parties in order to receive information and/or marketing offers from them or other persons. If you consent to the sharing of your Personal Information for these purposes, it will be subject to the privacy policies and business practices of those third parties. If you later decide that you no longer want us to share Personal Information with such third parties, please contact us as indicated below under the section “CHOICE AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION AND PREFERENCES.” We will process your request in a reasonable period of time. Note, however, that if you no longer wish to receive communications from a third party which has already received your Personal Information from us, you will need to contact that third party directly to inform them of this.

Data Processors. We may, from time to time, employ Data Processors to perform services on our behalf, such as: (1) hosting our Sites and other applications; (2) designing and/or operating certain features available through our Sites; (3) sending emails and other communications relating to our services; (4) fulfilling and processing orders for our services; (5) assisting with promotions and conferences relating to our  services, or those of our business partners; (6) providing analytic services, such as in relation to the tracking of usage of our Sites; or (7) performing other administrative services for us.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, prior to allowing our Data Processors to access your Personal Information, we will enter into a data protection agreement or addendum (“DPA”) with them to ensure that they handle and process the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law as instructed by us.

Site Hosting. Our Sites and the servers on which they are hosted are operated in various countries around the world in which we conduct our business . Thus, your Personal Information associated with our Sites may be transferred to and/or processed in a country other than that from which it was collected. The data protection laws in those countries may differ from those of the country in which you are located. The servers may be operated by third party hosted service providers.  If you are a resident of the EU, any such transfers will be made in accordance with applicable laws.

Links to Other Websites and Applications. The Sites may contain various links to, as well as plug-ins or widgets from, social media and other third-party websites or applications, which may provide additional information, goods, services, and/or promotions. These third-party websites or applications are owned and operated independently of CheapVacationHomes.com, and may have their own separate privacy and data collection practices.

Community Forums. Our Sites may offer message boards, chat rooms, blogs, and other public areas (“Community Forums”) where you can interact with our employees, other customers, post images, data, requests, questions, comments, suggestions, or other content, including your Personal Information (“User Submissions”). To participate in Community Forums, you may be asked to select a user name and password and/or provide us with your email-address, and to agree to the terms of participation for those Community Forums. We use this information to identify you and to contact you, if needed, for the provision of those Community Forums. You are able to change your email preferences or discontinue your participation in the Community Forums at any time. Your password and your email-address will not be visible to other users or shared with third parties. You should be aware that any User Submissions you post to a Community Forum, as well as your user name, may be viewed by other members of that forum. If you choose to voluntarily post User Submissions to a Community Forum, be aware that such information is viewable by anyone else on that Community Forum. Think carefully before you post and use caution before disclosing any Personal Information in a Community Forum. We are not responsible for the accuracy, use, or misuse of any User Submission that you disclose or receive through a Community Forum. We might also delete User Submissions without further notice if they include harmful or inappropriate content (e.g., pornographic material, content encouraging vandalism, crime, terrorism, racism, violence, or cruelty), or infringe any third party’s rights or applicable law.

Promotions. We may offer various promotions (“Promotions”) through the Sites or elsewhere that may require registration with your Personal Information. If you choose to enter or otherwise participate in a Promotion, your Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties in connection with administration of the Promotion, such as in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as otherwise required by law. By entering into a Promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice, and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials.
