TravelTrac Principles
We build TravelTrac domains to make it easy to share information with your family, friends, and the people you encounter. We understand you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on our domains; that is why we give you control of your information. Our default privacy settings limit the information displayed in your profile to your networks and other reasonable network limitations that we tell you about.

TravelTrac domains adhere to these core principles:
  • You have control over your personal information.
    TravelTrac domains help you share information with your friends and people around you. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, mapping and location information, pictures, video, journal entries, special interests, and networks you may choose to join. You control with whom you share that information through the privacy settingsavailable on the My Profile and My Friends pages.

  • You have access to the information others want to share.
    There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and you may want to know what relates to you, your friends, and people around you. We want to help you easily get to that information. Sharing information should be easy. And we want to provide you with the privacy tools necessary to control how and with whom you share that information. If you have questions or ideas, please send them to Contact Us.

TravelTrac's Privacy Policy
TravelTrac's Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using TravelTrac domains or web sites.

By using or accessing TravelTrac domains, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

TravelTrac and its domains are a licensee of the TRUSTe (pending) Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to build user's trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices. This privacy statement covers the site www.traveltrac.com and it's affiliate domains. Because this Web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.

The Information We Collect
When you visit TravelTrac domains you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and Web Site use information collected by us as you interact with our web sites and domains.

When you register with TravelTrac and any of its affiliate domains, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

You post User Content (as defined in all TravelTrac domains universal Terms of Service acknowledgement at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on TravelTrac domains is a violation of the Traveltrac Terms of Service and should be reported to Contact Us.

If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. TravelTrac domains store this information to send this one-time email, to register a friend's connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us to request that we remove this information from our database.

TravelTrac domains may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the TravelTrac domain services through the operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

By using TravelTrac domains you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Children Under Age 12
TravelTrac domains do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 12 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 12, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 12 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on TravelTrac domains. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 12 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 12, please Contact Us.

Children Between the Ages of 12 and 18
We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

Use of Information Obtained by TravelTrac
When you register with any TravelTrac domain, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, mapping, email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on Traveltrac domains. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by TravelTrac that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by TravelTrac domains primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting to your Profile Page), other TravelTrac domainusers may be able to supplement your profile.

Profile information you submit to TravelTrac domains will be available to users of TravelTrac who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings. Your name, network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the TravelTrac domain networks and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless they have a relationship to you (friend, friend of friend, member of your networks, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.

TravelTrac and its affiliated domains will send you only service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or a request to be admitted to your network you will receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

TravelTrac may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put select Sailtrac for your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting marine related products. But we don't tell the company who you are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services and other users of TravelTrac domains, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo links).

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
TravelTrac domains are about sharing information with others - friends and people in your networks - while providing you with controls that restrict other third parties from accessing your information without permission. We allow you to choose the information you provide to friends and networks through the various TravelTrac domains. Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is:

  1. reasonably necessary to offer the service;
  2. legally required; or,
  3. permitted by you.

We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about TravelTrac domains and services, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the TravelTrac-specified purposes.

  • We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into the TravelTrac world. Such accounts have only limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse.

  • We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the TravelTrac networks or using the TravelTrac domain names, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

  • We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.

  • We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on TravelTrac domains. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on TravelTrac domains, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.

  • If the ownership of all or substantially all of the TravelTrac business, or individual business units owned by TravelTrac LLC., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

Links
All TravelTrac domains may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by TravelTrac domains.

Third Party Advertising
Advertisements that appear on TravelTrac domains are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. TravelTrac does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on TravelTrac unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by TravelTrac domains and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Changing or Removing Information
Access and control over most personal information on TravelTrac domains is readily available through the profile editing tools. TravelTrac users may modify or remove any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their TravelTrac account may do so on the My Profile page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of TravelTrac.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on TravelTrac, however, (e.g., posting a message to another account) you generally cannot remove such communications.

Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions
If you choose to visit TravelTrac domains, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of, and application of law of the state of Delaware. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
