Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy:
Waikiki .US is committed to respecting your privacy.
We have designed our website and booking engine so that
you may visit it without identifying yourself or revealing
any personal information, unless you opt to do so. Once
you opt to provide personally identifiable information
(any information by which you can be identified), it
will only be used to support your customer relationship
with us and to help us better serve the online community
by customizing our website and improving its contents.
This Waikiki.US privacy statement has been developed
to inform you about our privacy policy and the practices
and choices you can make about the way your information
is collected and used. This notice may be accessed from
any area of Waikiki.US.
The Information We Collect:
When making a reservation:
When you make a reservation online or by phone through
our customer support center, you will be asked for your
name, address, phone number, e-mail address and credit
card information. This information is used to contact
you for customer service, to guarantee your reservation
with our travel suppliers, and/or to bill you for your
travel purchase. During the booking process you can
choose not to receive our newsletter or travel reminders
by un-checking the appropriate boxes on the online form.
Third-party vendors:
Some of Waikiki.US's online booking engines are powered
by third-party vendors. Our aim is to work only with
reputable and reliable vendors. It should be noted that
these vendors may have privacy policies and practices
of their own, that may differ from those of Waikiki.US.
We, therefore, strongly encourage you to read the privacy
policies of these vendors when using their websites.
E-Postcards:
Waikiki.US provides electronic postcards via our websites
and our affiliate websites for you to send to a friend.
We store the e-mail address of all recipients, the message
you want to send, and the URL for locating the greeting
card. We do not sell, distribute, or license in anyway
the use of recipient e-mail addresses. We use them solely
for the purposes of notifying recipients on your behalf
that a card is waiting for them at the designated URL.
After 30 days, all information pertaining to your postcard
is deleted.
About Cookies:
Many websites, including Waikiki.US, use cookie technology
to help users navigate efficiently. A cookie is a small
text file that resides on your hard drive. From time
to time, our site(s) will request the cookie from your
browser so that we can retrieve the stored information.
This prevents you from making the same selections over
and over again. Waikiki.US does not use cookies to store
personal information, such as credit-card numbers.
An example of how cookies are used is as follows: When
you conduct a search using our hotel-booking engine
for hotels in Orlando, a cookie will be set recording
the city of Orlando as the parameter of your search.
When you return to the search form to narrow or change
your search, Orlando will automatically be entered into
the city field in the search form.
Please note that with most browsers, a user can set
the preferences to show a warning each time a cookie
request is received. You can also usually set the browser
not to accept cookies at all. However, to make your
experience in using our hotel-booking engine as convenient
as possible, we suggest that you allow your browser
to accept cookies.
Information Sharing:
Waikiki.US will not sell, rent, or lease your personally
identifiable information to third parties. We will only
share the personal data you provide online with third-party
vendors who are acting on our behalf to complete the
activities described above, only if we have your permission
to do so, or are required by law. We will cooperate
with law enforcement authorities.
Choice:
Waikiki.US will not use or share your personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated
to the purposes described above without letting you
know and offering you a choice. Please be aware that
our website and those of our affiliates may contain
links to other websites, and that the privacy practices
of these other websites may differ from those of Waikiki.US.
This Online Privacy Statement does not apply to other
websites. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policies
of all other websites you visit.
Access & Accuracy:
Waikiki.US strives to keep your personally identifiable
information accurate. We make every effort to provide
you with online access to your registration data so
that you may update or correct your information on the
hotel-booking engine where it was submitted. To protect
your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable
steps to verify your identity before granting you access,
or enabling you to make corrections to your user account.
If you have comments or questions about our privacy
policy, please e-mail:
privacy@wctravel.com
Waikiki.US and WorldChoiceTravel.com reserves the right
to change this policy at any time by notifying users
of the existence and location of the new or revised
Privacy Policy.
