2. Links to non-TRAVITEK websites
The TRAVITEK websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the TRAVITEK website. TRAVITEK does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from TRAVITEK’s. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the TRAVITEK Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information. Some third-party companies may choose to share their personal data with TRAVITEK; that sharing is governed by that third-party company’s privacy policy.

The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include name, address, phone number, e-mail address, billing and transaction information, credit card information and contact preferences. |
Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with a specific personal identity. TRAVITEK collects and analyzes non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use the TRAVITEK websites.
Non-personal data we collect may include the pages visited on the TRAVITEK websites, unique URLs (1) visited within TRAVITEK.com, browser type and IP (2) address. Most non-personal data is collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. TRAVITEK.com Web pages use cookies, Web beacons and other technologies for data analysis and personalization services. TRAVITEK also places ads on other websites that may use cookies.
4. Children’s privacy
TRAVITEK is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. TRAVITEK does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and TRAVITEK does not target its websites to children under 13.
5. How we use your information
TRAVITEK uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some TRAVITEK websites. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding TRAVITEK products or services. We will give you the opportunity to choose your privacy preferences regarding such communications (see section 8, “Opting out of Subscription Services”). Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. Sensitive personal information is collected only to facilitate our financial service providers’ credit decisions and will be shared with them only with your permission. Credit card information and sensitive personal data are not used for any other purpose by our financial services providers or TRAVITEK and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases.
Personal data collected online may also be combined with information you provide TRAVITEK through other sources such as product registration, call centers or public events such as trade shows or seminars.
Personal data given to TRAVITEK may be transferred across state and country borders for the purposes of data consolidation, storage and simplified customer information management.
Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about TRAVITEK website usability, performance and effectiveness. It is used to improve the customer experience, usability and site content.
6. Who we share your information with
TRAVITEK will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. TRAVITEK will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information. TRAVITEK shares customer information across TRAVITEK-owned business entities and companies working on our behalf, but only as described above in “How we use your information.”
TRAVITEK contracts with third-party service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions described in “How we use your information.” Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of TRAVITEK and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for TRAVITEK. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers. TRAVITEK will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless required by law enforcement action, subpoena, or local law.
7. Your choices
TRAVITEK gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product and service-specific information and TRAVITEK-wide marketing communications. TRAVITEK-wide communications may include new product information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market research.
8. Opting out of Subscription Services
To opt-out of receiving communications you have expressly requested (such as e-mail newsletters, software updates, etc.):
Select the e-mail “opt-out” or “unsubscribe” link, or follow the opt-out instructions included in each subscription
communication.
9. Keeping your information secure
TRAVITEK is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, TRAVITEK has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, TRAVITEK subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and TRAVITEK an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud to protect your financial data.
10. Changes to this Statement
If there are updates to the terms of TRAVITEK’s Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have.

(1) A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.
(2) An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
