The information collection, use, and dissemination practices of theworldwidetraveller. This policy applies to theworldwidetraveller’s collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by theworldwidetraveller on its (a) websites, including all its divisions, subsidiaries and related companies (collectively, the “Websites”), (b) on various third party websites, and (c) to theworldwidetraveller’s other information collection, including the purchase of customer lists from third parties. Theworldwidetraveller is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of third web sites or applications.
1.1 Survey Information. Theworldwidetraveller collects information from individuals by various methods, including, but not limited to, when an individual voluntarily completes a theworldwidetraveller survey, order form, or a registration page either online or offline, or by means of online or offline surveys, order forms, or registration pages operated by third parties (collectively, a “Survey”). (As used herein, “online” means using the Internet, including the Websites, and related technologies, and “offline” means by methods other than online, including in person, in the postal mail, using telephones and cell phones, and other similar means.) In the Surveys, theworldwidetraveller or a third party (a “Third Party”) may ask an individual to provide various information to theworldwidetraveller, which may include his or her name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital status, occupation, social security number, employment information, personal and online interests, and such other information as may be requested from time to time (together, “Survey Information”). Theworldwidetraveller may also collect information concerning an individual from another source and uses that information in combination with information provided from this web site. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary, and individuals are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to theworldwidetraveller or Third Party, but an individual may receive incentives from theworldwidetraveller or a Third Party in exchange for providing Survey Information to theworldwidetraveller.
1.2 Third Party List Information. Theworldwidetraveller collects information from individuals when an individual provides information to a third party and theworldwidetraveller subsequently purchases, licenses, or otherwise acquires the information from the third party (the “Seller”). Such purchased information may include, but is not limited to, an individual’s name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital status, occupation, industry of employment, personal and online interests, and such other information as the individual may have provided to the Seller (together, “Third Party List Information”). When acquiring Third Party List Information, theworldwidetraveller seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has a right to transfer the Third Party List Information to theworldwidetraveller and that the Seller has a right to provide offers from advertisers to the individuals whose personal information is included on the Seller’s list.
1.3 Other Information. Other occasions when theworldwidetraveller obtains information from individuals include (1) when an individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to redeem an incentive offered by theworldwidetraveller or by a third party, (2) when an individual requests assistance through theworldwidetraveller’s customer service department, and (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes to a theworldwidetraveller service or newsletter (together, “Other Information”).
1.4 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology. Theworldwidetraveller currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related information about an individual with information about the individual in our database. Additionally, theworldwidetraveller may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future (together, “Technology Information”).
(a) Cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual’s computer that allows theworldwidetraveller to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in theworldwidetraveller’s database. You may read more about cookies at https://cookiecentral.com. Individuals who use the Websites need to accept cookies in order to use all of the features and functionality of the Websites.
(b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer an individual’s unique user identification (often in the form of a cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows theworldwidetraveller to track certain web sites an individual visits online. Web beacons are used to determine products or services an individual may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes. For example, theworldwidetraveller might place, with the consent of a third party website, a web beacon on the third party’s website where fishing products are sold. When Joe, an individual listed in theworldwidetraveller’s database, visits the fishing website, theworldwidetraveller receives notice by means of the web beacon that Joe visited the fishing site, and theworldwidetraveller would then update Joe’s profile with the information that Joe is interested in fishing. Theworldwidetraveller may thereafter present offers of fishing related products and services to Joe. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, theworldwidetraveller also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in theworldwidetraveller’s database.
(c) New Technology. The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly evolving, as is theworldwidetraveller’s use of new and evolving technology. As a result, theworldwidetraveller strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of technology.
1.5 Outside Information. Theworldwidetraveller may receive information about individuals from third parties or from other sources of information outside of theworldwidetraveller including information located in public databases (“Outside Information”).
1.6 Individual Information. As used herein, Individual Information means Survey Information, Third Party List Information, Other Information, Technology Information, and Outside Information, and any other information theworldwidetraveller gathers or receives about individuals.
1.7 No Information Collected from Children. Theworldwidetraveller will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If theworldwidetraveller obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database. Because it does not collect such information, theworldwidetraveller has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties. Theworldwidetraveller has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
1.8 Credit Card Information. Theworldwidetraveller may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and related information, such as the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”) when an individual places an order from theworldwidetraveller. When the Credit Card Information is submitted, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. Theworldwidetraveller will use the Credit Card Information for purposes of processing and completing the purchase transaction, and the Credit Card Information will be disclosed to third parties only as necessary to complete the purchase transaction.

Theworldwidetraveller does not send unsolicited email messages. As a result, statutes requiring certain formatting for unsolicited email are not applicable to theworldwidetraveller’s email messages.
