Privacy Policy

TravelInsuranceRatings.com has created this Privacy Policy in order to set forth the principles governing our information-gathering and dissemination practices, including but not limited to such activities as forums/reviews, chat rooms, product reviews, article commentary, blogs, RSS feeds and newsletters, among other offerings. TravelInsuranceRatings.com has a strong commitment to the privacy of our users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through TravelInsuranceRatings.com and not to information collected offline or to information you may provide to any third-party sites to which TravelInsuranceRatings.com may link, except as expressly provided herein.

Information We Collect

There are two kinds of information that TravelInsuranceRatings.com can obtain about you: “Anonymous Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.”

“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, or information about your usage on TravelInsuranceRatings.com that is used for administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We may collect our users’ IP addresses for such purposes as to help diagnose problems with our servers and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on our behalf.

“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, street address, email address, or telephone number. We collect such information when, for example, you contact us through an online form, subscribe to our email newsletter, and participate in other interactive online activities such as reviews.

In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Use of “Cookies”

TravelInsuranceRatings.com uses “cookies” – data that is transferred from TravelInsuranceRatings.com to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes.

Disclosure of Information through Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the event that a portion or all of TravelInsuranceRatings.com’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

TravelInsuranceRatings.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party Web sites. Inclusion of any linked Web site on TravelInsuranceRatings.com does not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services provided on these Web sites.

Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a Web site via a link from one of our Sites, we encourage you to consult that Web site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information, and whenever interacting with any such Web site.

Please note that your email, like most, if not all, unencrypted Internet communications, may potentially be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, TravelInsuranceRatings.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived.

No information should be submitted to or posted on TravelInsuranceRatings.com by any minor (a person under 18 years of age) without the consent of a parent or guardian.
