Welcome
This is the official website of ABC Destinations. Your privacy
is very important to us. We value the online security of all
transactions, and of all information inquiries directed to us.
Information Collection and Use
ABC Destinations may collect information from the users of this
website at several different points on our website, except as
set forth below, ABC Destinations will not share user
information with anyone other than its affiliates.
Registration
In order to use certain areas of this website, a user must first
complete a registration form. During registration a user is
required to give their contact information (such as name and
email address). This information is used to contact the user
about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order forms. Here a
user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an
order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in
no way linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our
site, the user would not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects
the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to
this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of
our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Sharing
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not have our permission to retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes. We may partner with others to provide
specific services, for example travel insurance.When the user
signs up for these services, we will share names, or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to
provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use
personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that neither we nor our affiliates are responsible for the
privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to
be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely
to information collected by this website.
Surveys
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys and/or trip evaluations. Participation in these surveys
and/or trip evaluations is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information; the user may simply opt out of participating in the
survey. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code, age level). Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site, as well as for other purposes.
Security
When users are requested to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with what we believe to be the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the
site and our services to an individual, we may combine
information regarding travel related aspects of the user, for
example, the time, fare and passport number and use this
information for providing travel relate services on behalf of
the user. Correction/Updating Personal Information: If a user's
personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will
endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at
the customer information page or by emailing our Customer
Support Department.
Choice/Opt-out
ABC Destinations may use your email address to deliver to you
occasional news of new product offerings or special
developments. If you prefer not to receive email from us, let us
know us by sending a clearly stated message to
info@ABCdestinations.com. We will be glad to honor your
request.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our website so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users
by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or
not we use their information in this different manner. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
