At Worldwide Holidays Club, we give the highest importance to your privacy concerns and rights. This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

When Do We Collect Information?

We collect information from you when you register on our site, subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form or enter information on our site in order to avail of our services. This is strictly limited to information that is volunteered by you, the consumer, in response to survey information and/or site inquiries and requests initiated by you.

How Do We Use Your Information?

The information we collect is used to provide services, if any, that are requested by you; to assist our travel professionals in contacting you (specifically at your request); to assist members of the Customer Relationship Cell for marketing purposes; or to improve the content of our website.

We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards. We only provide articles and information. We use regular Malware Scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

We never ask for credit card numbers. Any payments to be collected from you are either processed through the usual banking channels and remitted directly to our bank account or processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Do We Use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow it) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use cookies to:

• Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being placed or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You would normally do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is different, check your browser’s “Help Menu” to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

If you turn off cookies off, It won’t affect ‘user experience’ entirely.

Third-party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ to outside parties.

However, from time to time, we make our customer e-mail list available to our travel partners whose products or services we think you might find interesting. If you do not want us to share your e-mail address with our collaborating companies, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at the given address, calling us at the mentioned telephone number, or writing to us at the address given.

Third-party Links

Ad Servers:
We DO NOT partner with, nor have special relationships with any and all ‘ad server’ companies.

We use ‘cookies’ for SEO:
We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers, to generate the necessary reports to help with website SEO efforts.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the US to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website specifying exactly:
(a) the information being collected, and
(b) those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

According to the CalOPPA guidelines, we agree to the following:

• That users can visit our site anonymously.
• That the link to our ‘Privacy Policy’ page will be displayed on our home page; or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.
• You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes: On our Privacy Policy Page.
• You may change your personal information: By emailing us.

How Does Our Site Handle “Do Not Track” Signals?

We honor ‘Do Not Track’ signals and do not track or plant cookies when a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. As stated above, we DO NOT partner with ‘ad server’ companies nor allow third party advertising on our site.

Does Our Site Allow Third-Party Behavioural Tracking?

We do not allow third-party behavioural tracking.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

• We will notify you via email: within 7 business days

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law.

This principle requires: not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We may request you for your email address in order to:

• Send information, respond to inquiries and/or other requests or queries
• Process orders/bookings and to send information and updates pertaining to your orders/bookings

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

• To not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way
• Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you may inform us at:

• contact@worldwideholidaysclub.com

And we shall promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

Privacy Statement Amendments

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, un-anticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our website to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses.
