(Effective January 1, 2003)
asaptickets.com Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy while you are visiting our Site.
In order to provide the best in customer service, we may ask you to
share "personal information" -- such as your name, address, e-mail
address, and phone number. First, we want you to understand our policy
regarding the collection and use of your personal information.
The Personal Information Collected
You may visit our Site or call our Travel Professionals to search for
great travel deals without providing us with any personal information.
Membership Information
Membership offers you the flexibility and freedom to complete a travel
purchase on our Site at any time, and becoming a member is so easy to
do. When you register to become a member, you will be asked to share
with us certain basic personal information, such as your name, e-mail
address, and password. Should you choose to do so, you can supplement
the basics with your credit card number, frequent flyer number, travel
preferences, and more. After becoming a member, you can visit or update
the personal information in your travel profile at any time. By
completing and updating your personal information, you help us tailor
our services to better meet your needs.
Transaction Information
In order to complete a travel purchase, you will be asked to share with
us information required to complete the transaction successfully, such
as billing and shipping addresses, credit card number and expiration
date, etc.
Subscription Information
Even if you`re not a member, you have the opportunity to receive our
special travel offers via e-mail. When you sign up for this service,
you will be asked to provide us with your e-mail address.
Contests/Sweepstakes Participation
You may participate in our contests or sweepstakes without becoming a
member, completing a purchase, or subscribing to receive our e-mails.
When you enter a contest or sweepstakes, you will be asked to share
with us certain personal information.
How Personal Information Is Used
We will use your personal information in the following ways:
When you purchase travel products or services, your personal
information will be shared with the third parties necessary to
successfully complete the transaction -- including the vendors you have
selected (for example, airlines, hotels, travel insurance providers,
etc.) and others who facilitate the transaction (for example, your
credit card company).
As a member or guest, from time to time, you may receive communications
from us or third parties performing services on our behalf, which
include: (i) specific information we want to communicate to you
regarding your travel requests or arrangements, such as any
notification of a flight cancellation; (ii) notifications regarding
updates or modifications to our Site; and (iii) details regarding any
special offers sponsored by us, such as rewards, rebates, sweepstakes,
and gift promotions.
As a member or subscriber, you may also choose to receive from us, or
trustworthy third parties acting on our behalf, special promotions that
we believe will be valuable to you, including, without limitation,
e-mails promoting special travel deals, sponsored by us or third-party
vendors. If you participate in a contest or sweepstakes, your personal
information may be used by us, or trustworthy third parties acting on
our behalf, to process your entry and fulfill any prize awarded to you.
From time to time, in an effort to improve our service, we may ask
third parties to conduct marketing-research analyses on our behalf and,
as such, the information we provide to them is restricted to
marketing-research analyses only. Any personal information we provide
to such third parties is protected under confidentiality agreements.
We may disclose your personal information (i) if you violate our Terms
of Use or any law, rule, or regulation, or (ii) if required by law or
regulatory authority (for example, court order or subpoena).
In the event that our Company or this Site or certain of our assets are
acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred
assets. Use of your personal information by third parties distributing
promotions on our behalf shall be subject to our Privacy Policy.
What We Won`t Do With Personal Information
We will not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties.
Security
Security of our customers` personal information is important to us.
As a member, your personal information is password-protected. If you
ever forget your password, we will help you create a new one. Remember
to log out of your account and close your browser window when you have
finished visiting our Site in order to ensure that others cannot access
your personal information.
To protect personal information transmitted to us, we use a security
system that includes firewall technologies, intrusion detection
systems, logical network segmentation, restricted access to stored
profile information, and security restrictions to our databases and
systems.
We permit authorized personnel only to access personal information.
We use industry-standard, secure-socket-layer (SSL) technology, which
is utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft
Explorer, to encrypt (or convert into code) your personal information
before it is transferred across the Internet. To further safeguard your
most sensitive credit card information, we transfer such information
across the Internet in an encrypted format and then store such
information in our secure database.
Since we do not control transmissions over the Internet, via commercial
Internet service providers, and/or the security of your personal
computer, we cannot guarantee 100 percent secure transmission via the
Internet. Use of the Internet is at your own risk. Also, it is
important that you take steps to protect yourself against unauthorized
access to your computer and your password.
Other, Non-Personal Information Collected
Like many other Internet sites, we automatically collect non-personal
information regarding our visitors, such as software client information
(for example, IP addresses, browser versions and operating systems) and
aggregate information (for example, number of pages accessed) in order
to analyze Web traffic and usage trends. Information of this nature
does not pertain to your specific identity and is not associated with
your personal information.
To enhance your experience on our Site, we and our third-party
advertiser(s) commonly employ Internet technologies, such as "cookies,"
to collect and store non-personal information about our visitors.
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are transferred by a
website and stored by your Web browser on your computer`s hard drive.
With most browsers, you can set the preferences to show a warning each
time a cookie request is received. You can also set the browser not to
accept cookies at all; however, we won`t be able to personalize your
experience if we cannot recognize you.
Cookies and Web beacons (also called "pixel tags") may be used by us or
our third-party advertiser(s) to determine how you reached our Site, to
track your usage patterns once you are on our Site, and to target our
Internet banner advertisements on our Site and other websites. For more
information about our third-party advertiser(s), cookies, and how to
opt out, please click here.

Except as covered above, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the
practices or policies of any companies or entities that we do not own
or control, including links to sites that are not maintained by us, or
to people that we do not employ or manage. Because these companies or
entities may have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy
(or no privacy policy at all), please be sure to review their
respective privacy policies before providing them with any personal
information.

our homepage. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy
Policy in order to keep apprised of our current privacy practices.
