WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

You may browse the Site and search travel advisories without providing us with any personal information about yourself. However, when you sign up to create an account on the Site and submit your own safety ratings or other information, we request or may request that you provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, birth date, and any other information from which your identity is discernible. We may also collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, travel preferences, gender, and interests. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.

We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of the Site, such as what areas you visit and what services you use. Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by us. This information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses, but is not linked to your personal information. This data is used to manage the Site, track usage and improve the Site services.

SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.

We share your information with each other, our contractors, and others we choose to work with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we share your information with other third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is: 1) Reasonably necessary to offer the Site; 2) Legally required; or 3) Permitted by you. For example:

  • 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 Site at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Isitsafetovisit.com, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, 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 Isitsafetovisit.com specified purposes.
  • 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 the law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Site or using the Isitsafetovisit.com name, 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 products or provide services jointly with other companies on Isitsafetovisit.com. You can tell when another company is involved in any product or service provided on Isitsafetovisit.com, and we may share user information with that company in connection with your use of that product or service.
  • If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Isitsafetovisit.com business, or individual business units owned by the Companies, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the Site 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.

    • CHATROOMS, WEBLOGS, MESSAGE BOARDS, CLASSIFIEDS AND PUBLIC FORUMS

    Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily post public information to any chatrooms, weblogs, message boards, or any other public forums on the Site, that information can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by those people to send you unsolicited communications.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computers tied to information about the user. Cookies can only track information provided to the site itself. They are not “spyware” but only store information you have provided in personally identifiable form, or some of your Isitsafetovisit.com activities. This information includes your user name and password, to avoid your having to retype it every time you return to the Site. Cookie information is stored on your computer, not ours. Your browser and other security applications can be set to prompt you when a website is setting a cookie or to reject all cookies. Unless you accept our cookies, you will not be able to use our website effectively, and many site sections and applications will not function properly or at all. Please note that Isitsafetovisit.com allows third party advertisers that are presenting advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on your computer.

    THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

    Advertisements that appear on Isitsafetovisit.com 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. Isitsafetovisit.com 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 Isitsafetovisit.com unless you choose to share it with them.
