This Privacy Policy sets forth the policy with respect to the Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”) that is collected from users (“Users”) of the website located at www.letsgo.com (the “Site”), which site is operated and maintained by Travel Ad Network, Inc (“TAN”). By voluntarily providing us with your PII, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy including transfer of your PII to TAN and authorized third parties located in the United States and in other countries.
When you register or subscribe to our newsletters, and/or participate in activities on the Site such as forums, message boards, rating articles or completing questionnaires, TAN will collect PII including, for example, your full name, email address zip code, gender, age and similar information.
We collect Non-PII, such as IP addresses and web site usage information, from you when you visit the Site, using cookies and other technologies.
Cookies. Cookies are unique alphanumeric codes that web sites place on your web browser. We use cookies and the Non-PII collected to, among other things, facilitate our login processes; allow you to personalize and store your settings; collect usage information; determine our total audience size and traffic; and help us improve our Site by measuring which areas are of greatest interest to users. We may also permit third parties to use cookies on our Site.
Each time we display online advertisements to you, we also use cookies to recognize your computer. Since we share Non-PII with business partners, vendors and other third parties, and receive Non-PII from third party sources, we are able to compile Non-PII over time about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements we display. We use this Non-PII to make predictions about your characteristics, interests or preferences and to display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also associate this Non-PII with you during subsequent visits, purchases or other activity on this Site, or the websites operated by third parties, in order to determine the effectiveness of advertisements displayed on this Site or such other sites.
You can set the browser on your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent, block third party cookies or block all cookies. However, by blocking all cookies you may not have access to certain features on our Site.
We also use web beacons (invisible images often referred to as pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our Site in order to recognize users and assess traffic patterns, and we may include web beacons and cookies in our e-mail messages in order to count how many e-mail messages have been opened.
TAN may use your PII for the purposes for which you specifically provided it via the Site including, without limitation, enabling TAN to process and fulfill your subscription or other requests. In addition, TAN may use your PII to:
Integrating PII with Non-PII.We may combine the PII and Non-PII that we collect from you on the Site with other information that you provide to us in connection with your use of other products and services, and/or information we collect from third parties, and we reserve the right to license, rent, sell or otherwise use such combined information.
Third Party Site. As a service to our Users, the Site may include links to other sites (‘Third Party Site”). This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site and not to any Third Party Site. ONCE YOU LEAVE OUR SITES, WE ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE. We suggest contacting the Third Party Site directly for information on their privacy, security, data collection and distribution policies.
Unsolicited Information.This Privacy Policy does not apply to any unsolicited information that you voluntarily provide while visiting the Site. You may provide information while using certain features of the Site such as forums, message boards, chats, creating community profiles, and rating, tagging and commenting on articles. When you use these features you should be aware that any information you submit, including your name, location and e-mail address, is publicly available to any visitor to the applicable Site.
We are not responsible for any information you choose to submit through these interactive features. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. TAN cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.
When an individual chooses to post information that will be publicly disclosed, he or she is responsible for ensuring that such information conforms to all local data protection laws. We are not responsible under any data protection laws for User posted information.
Children. TAN does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 through the Site. If you are under thirteen, please do not give us any Personally Identifiable Information. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide Personally Identifiable Information on the Site without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personally Identifiable Information to TAN through the Site, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
Security. We take commercially reasonable steps to protect Personally Identifiable Information provided to the Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personally Identifiable Information to TAN or to any other party via the Internet.
You can also review and update your PII by contacting us at the email address provided below in the “How to contact us” section of this Privacy Policy.
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification.
From time to time we may revise this Privacy Policy. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII, those changes will be posted in this Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of the Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If you use the Site after we post changes to the Privacy Policy, you will be deemed to have accepted the modified Privacy Policy.
