Policy
InCreditCards.com Privacy Statement Introduction: InCreditCards.com
has a strong commitment to providing excellent service to all of our customers,
including respecting their concerns about privacy. We understand that visitors
to our website may have questions about how this website collects and uses
information. We have prepared this statement to inform you of the privacy
principles that govern InCreditCards.com
This statement contains numerous general and technical details about the
steps we take to respect your privacy concerns. The bottom line is that meeting
your needs and expectations form the foundation of everything we do - including
protecting your privacy. This website does not collect personally identifiable
information from your computer when you browse the site. This means that, unless
you voluntarily and knowingly provide us with personally identifiable
information, we will not know your name, your e-mail address, or any other
personally identifiable information. Internet Protocol (IP) Address: An IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you
browse the Internet. When users request a page from our site, our servers log
the user's current IP address. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems. We
do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information about you.
Cookies: Our website uses "cookie" technology. "Cookies" are strings of text
that a website may store on a user's computer. Our website uses cookies but only
requires them in the online reservation process. Cookies enable our website to
keep track of your preferences and activities relating to the website. Our
website creates session cookies for each visit in order to facilitate your
visit.
Use of Cookies for Advertising - we use third party service providers
to serve and host our advertisements. These third parties use persistent cookies
to track the number of times our site is accessed and whether the site was
accessed from the advertisement. The cookies generated from the advertisements
do not contain personally identifiable information and may remain on your hard
drive three or more years unless deleted by you.
To track the effectiveness of InCreditCards.com advertisements on other
sites, as well as the effectiveness of our advertising for other sites,
InCreditCards.com uses pixel tags (also known as "clear gifs", "beacon gifs",
"1-by-1 gifs", or "web bugs"). Pixel tags are not visible to the user of the
site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. If you are visiting
InCreditCards.com from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag
references the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The
pixel tag then registers this activity with the third party advertising company
to allow us to count the number of times an advertisement is accessed. In
addition, we also measure the amount of traffic generated from a particular ad.
At no time is personally identifiable information about you or your reservation
collected by the third party advertising company, nor is any tracking
information generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used by them for any
other purpose other than to report web site activity to us or allow us to better
target future interactive advertising. Our third party service providers may use
pixel tags in InCreditCards.com marketing e-mails that help us send the e-mail
in a format you can read, to allow us to know which e-mails you act upon and to
better target the content of future e-mails. In addition, we track the aggregate
number of e-mails read and whether any of the links in the e-mail were accessed.
No other information is collected or used from pixel tags. Information We
Collect: When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you,
we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need.
Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information: All credit card
applications listed with InCreditCards.com use a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL)
line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This ensures that your information is encrypted
as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such
information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure
mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of
the computer screen appears in the locked position. You will usually only see
this icon only when you are filling out an application. In addition, when
accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change
from "http" to "https."
InCreditCards.com Privacy Statement Changes: In the future, we may
need to change the privacy statement for InCreditCards.com. All changes will be
made here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might
use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
