SpecialityCruises Respects your privacy
SpecialityCruises and its subsidiaries respect your privacy and are
committed to protecting it. SpecialityCruises provides this Privacy
Statement to inform you of our Privacy Policy and practices and of the
choices you can make about the way your information is collected online
and how that information is used. We've structured our websites so that,
in general, you can visit SpecialityCruises on the Web without
identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. We make this
notice readily available on our home page and at the bottom of every
SpecialityCruises Web page.
Sites covered by this Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement applies to all SpecialityCruises-owned websites
and domains, and our wholly owned subsidiaries.
Links to non-SpecialityCruises websites
The SpecialityCruises websites may provide links to third-party websites
for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you
will leave the SpecialityCruises website. SpecialityCruises does not
control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from
SpecialityCruises's. We do not endorse or make any representations about
third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated
third parties is not covered by the SpecialityCruises Privacy Statement.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before
submitting your personal information. Some third-party companies may
choose to share their personal data with SpecialityCruises; that sharing
is governed by that third-party company's privacy policy.
Types of information we collect
This Privacy Statement covers personal information, non-personal data
collection and aggregate reporting.
Personal information
is information that is associated with your name or personal identity.
SpecialityCruises uses personal information to understand better your
needs and interests and to provide you with better service. Once you
choose to provide us with personal information, you can be assured it
will be used only to support your customer relationship with
SpecialityCruises. We take seriously the trust you place in us.
SpecialityCruises will not sell, rent or lease your personal information
to others.
On some SpecialityCruises websites, you can order products or services,
apply for instant credit, request information, subscribe to marketing or
support materials, register yourself or your SpecialityCruises products,
or apply for a job at SpecialityCruises. The types of personal
information you provide to us on these pages may include name, address,
phone number, e-mail address, user IDs and passwords, billing and
transaction information, credit card information, contact preferences,
educational and employment background, and job interest data. If you
apply for instant credit, we will ask you to provide additional
information such as salary, social security number and banking
information. This information will be used by our financial services
providers in determining whether to extend you credit.
To personalize our websites, services or communications and improve our
products and services, we may also ask you to provide us with
information regarding your personal or professional interests,
demographics, and experiences with our products or services. Providing
this additional information is optional.
SpecialityCruises may also provide a Web-based business card e-service.
If you choose to use it, you supply the personal and business contact
information of your choice and can set each element as public or
private. Information you designate as public is available to any viewer
who looks up your card. Ecardfile.com is not a customer registration
service.
Non-personal information
is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with a
specific personal identity. SpecialityCruises collects and analyzes
non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use the
SpecialityCruises websites.
Non-personal data we collect may include the pages visited on the
SpecialityCruises websites, unique URLs visited within
SpecialityCruises.com and browser type. Most non-personal data is
collected via cookies or other analysis technologies.
SpecialityCruises.com Web pages use cookies, Web beacons and other
technologies for data analysis and personalization services.
SpecialityCruises also places ads on other websites that may use
cookies.
Children's privacy
SpecialityCruises is committed to protecting the privacy needs of
children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role
in their children's online activities and interests. SpecialityCruises
does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13
and SpecialityCruises does not target its websites to children under 13.
How we use your information
SpecialityCruises uses your personal information to provide you with
services and to help us better understand your needs and interests.
Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction
or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to
update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers
and to personalize some SpecialityCruises websites. Occasionally we may
also use your information to contact you for market research regarding
SpecialityCruises products or services. We will give you the opportunity
to choose your privacy preferences regarding such communications. Credit
card information is used only for payment processing and fraud
prevention. Sensitive personal information is collected only to
facilitate our financial service providers' credit decisions and will be
shared with them only with your permission. Credit card information and
sensitive personal data are not used for any other purpose by our
financial services providers or SpecialityCruises and will not be kept
longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to
retain your credit card information for future purchases.
Personal data collected online may also be combined with information you
provide SpecialityCruises through other sources such as product
registration, call centers or public events such as trade shows or
seminars.
Personal data given to SpecialityCruises may be transferred across state
and country borders for the purposes of data consolidation, storage and
simplified customer information management.
Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about SpecialityCruises
website usability, performance and effectiveness. It is used to improve
the customer experience, usability and site content.
Who we share your information with
SpecialityCruises will not sell, rent or lease your personal information
to others. SpecialityCruises will not share your personal information
with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or
services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your
information. SpecialityCruises shares customer information across
SpecialityCruises-owned business entities and companies working on our
behalf, but only as described above in "How we use your information."
SpecialityCruises contracts with third-party service providers and
suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions
described in "How we use your information." Suppliers and service
providers are required to keep confidential the information received on
behalf of SpecialityCruises and may not use it for any purpose other
than to carry out the services they are performing for
SpecialityCruises. These service providers may change or we may contract
with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers.
SpecialityCruises will not share personal information with any other
third parties without your permission, unless required by law
enforcement action, subpoena, or local law.
SpecialityCruises or its related entities could merge with or be
acquired by another business entity or some or all of their respective
assets could be acquired. If such a combination or acquisition occurs,
SpecialityCruises will make every reasonable effort to notify you in the
event we share with the merging or acquiring entity some or all of your
personal information to continue serving you.
Your choices
SpecialityCruises gives you the choice of receiving a variety of
information that complements our products and services. You can
subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information
and SpecialityCruises-wide marketing communications.
SpecialityCruises-wide communications may include new product
information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market
research. We give you a choice regarding delivery of
SpecialityCruises-wide communications by postal mail, e-mail and
telephone. We will make every effort to honor your preferences. This
option does not apply to communications for the purpose of administering
order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings or driver
updates.
Your privacy preferences and opting out
Non-subscription services
SpecialityCruises will not use your personal information for a different
purpose than the one stated when you provided your data. Examples of
unrelated uses include sending communications about special offers,
product information, and marketing messages.
Subscription services
To opt-out of receiving communications you have expressly requested
(such as e-mail newsletters, software updates, etc.), use any of the
following methods:
Select the e-mail "opt-out" or "unsubscribe" link, or follow the opt-out
instructions included in each subscription communication.
Return to the Web page(s) where you originally registered your
preferences and follow the opt-out instructions.
Write to the Webmaster - be sure to provide your name, e-mail and postal
address, and relevant information about your SpecialityCruises
subscriptions and registrations.
Your information and third-party companies
Certain SpecialityCruises services are linked with those from unrelated
third-party companies, some which offer you the option to share with
both SpecialityCruises and the third party personal data you provide.
Examples include the ability to register software products from multiple
vendors from a single SpecialityCruises Web page, to request
communications from SpecialityCruises marketing or solution partners, or
to enable order completion through a reseller. We will not share your
personal information with those third-party companies unless you make
that choice.
Access to and accuracy of your information
SpecialityCruises strives to keep your personal information accurate. We
have implemented technology, management processes and policies to
maintain customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to your
information, including making reasonable effort to provide you with
online access and the opportunity to change your information. To protect
your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify
your identity, such as a password and user ID, before granting access to
your data. Certain areas of SpecialityCruises's websites may limit
access to specific individuals through the use of passwords and other
personal identifiers.
The most effective way to view and change your personal information is
to return to the Web page where you originally submitted your data and
follow the instructions on that Web page.
Keeping your information secure
SpecialityCruises is committed to protecting the information you provide
us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data
accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information,
SpecialityCruises has in place appropriate physical and managerial
procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or
transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL
encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but
us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of
an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom
of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not
used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing,
SpecialityCruises subscribes to a fraud management service. This service
gives you and SpecialityCruises an extra level of security to guard
against credit card fraud to protect your financial data.
Changes to this Statement
If there are updates to the terms of SpecialityCruises's Online Privacy
Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in
this document, so you will always know what information we collect
online, how we use it, and what choices you have. For material changes
to this Statement, SpecialityCruises will provide notification to
affected customers.
Contacting us
We value your opinions. If you have comments or questions about our
privacy policy, please send them to the Webmaster. |
