| Privacy Philosophy
Carlson Wagonlit B.V., doing business as Macy's Travel,
wants to make your experience online satisfying and
safe. We want to provide you with the means to control
your privacy and give you a way to voice questions
or concerns you may have.
Information is collected from you to make it easier
and more rewarding for you to use our services. We
use this information to design initiatives that are
designed as a platform to deliver a broad range of
personalised products and services to our customers
across a variety of different consumer brands. By
knowing customer preferences, services and special
offerings can be tailored to eliminate hassles and
provide superior levels of convenience on a one-to-one
basis. Depending on the service you are accessing,
you could be asked at various times to provide information
such as your name, e-mail address or information about
what you like and do not like. On other occasions
when we provide items for purchase online, we may
request your credit card number to conclude the transaction
or your mailing address to insure proper delivery.
We recognise that the value of our brands rests in
customer relationships and we strongly support the
rights of consumers to maintain privacy of personal
data.
Who is collecting the information
Carlson Wagonlit B.V. collects the information that
you provide. This company will hold ownership of any
information you provide us. We will not sell ownership
of this data to any other company or organisation.
Our commitments to your family
Like you, we have children of our own and are concerned
about their safety when they use the Internet. We
want you and your family to be safe while visiting
our Internet sites. That is why, consistent with the
Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from children.
What information do we collect
We collect information in several different ways.
We collect the domain name of visitors to our Web
pages, the e-mail addresses of those visitors who
volunteer them, user-specific information on the pages
visitors access, and information such as survey information,
postal address, telephone numbers and site registrations
that you provide voluntarily. Like many other commercial
Websites, our Websites may employ a standard technology
called a "cookie" to collect information
about how our site is used.
How the information is used
We use the information that we collect to understand
your preferences and history. With this information
we can tailor our services and special offerings to
provide superior levels of convenience and service
on a one-to-one basis. We also use the collected information
to improve the design of our Web pages.
We will not transfer information to competitors.
Information about your preferences is only used to
help us understand the products and services that
might be attractive to you. Based on information you
provide us, combinations of travel and hospitality
might be something that would interest you but the
information will always be held by the one Company
to which it was given.
If you provide us with your e-mail address, we may
occasionally send you e-mail offers, informing you
about products and services. If you provide us with
your postal address, you may receive periodic mailings
from us with information on new products and services
or upcoming events. These offers may be based on information
you provided us in your responses to our surveys and
on your history with us as a customer.
Our ability to provide enhanced services and content
may occasionally depend on our ability to provide
targeted advertising for our partners and clients.
This allows us to review the actions of our visitors
to determine what they want and do not want; provide
advertisements from time to time that support our
customers' specific requests; develop summary reports
for our advertisers that contain raw numbers or statistics
(but never tell them who it was that saw or clicked
on their advertisements unless you have agreed); and
send customers e-mail communications on information
we think they will find useful, including information
about new products and services from our selected
partners. It is our policy to never send messages
to members who have asked us not to do so, either
at initial registration or later through an unsubscribe
process.
Information distribution
If you are providing personal information within a
registration page, it will only be used within our
domain unless you choose to allow third party data
sharing.
Although unlikely, we may be required by law enforcement
or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable
information to the appropriate governmental authorities.
If requested as part of a legal proceeding, we will
provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate
documentation.
Other companies that place advertising on our site
may collect information about you when you view or
click on their advertising or content through the
use of cookies. Due to the way the Internet technically
operates, we cannot control this collection of information.
You should contact these advertisers or content providers
if you have any questions about their use of the information
they collect.
There will be links that will let you leave our site.
We do not control the links or their sites and we
are not responsible for the contents of any linked
site or any link contained in a linked site. The inclusion
of any link does not imply endorsement of the site.
The use and/or privacy provided by the operator of
a linked site as to any information you provide in
accessing a linked site is in no way subject to our
privacy policy. Each linked site may have its own
policy that could differ considerably from our policy,
or the linked site may not display any privacy policy
at all. In any case, even though a linked site is
accessed through our site, we cannot be responsible
for any use that a linked site may make of your information.
