The
Internet contains a wealth of information and it may also contain personal
details about you that you don't want everyone to know. At The Independent Traveler we strive to assist our
participants in protecting their privacy while using our web site.
We have adopted the following Principles of Privacy, which summarize
and clarify that commitment: how we safeguard your privacy and how we
treat personal information. We understand that for you to take full
advantage of our interactive medium, we must do everything we can to
ensure that your privacy is secure.
1. If we at any time ask for any personal information, we will not give
it out to anyone unless you tell us to do so. Also, if you choose to
subscribe to our newsletter or join our forums, The Independent Traveler
may send you information about updates to our site, invitations to special
events and promotions we feel may be of interest to you.
2. We do not give out to others information about where you personally
go on The Independent Traveler.
3. The Independent Traveler welcomes the participation of all age groups
at our web site. Thus, we take extra steps to protect the safety and
privacy of children and teens: we will never knowingly collect any information
from children or teens. Also, all content on our web site will be suitable
for children and teenagers.
4. Participants should be aware that when you are on any web site, you
could be directed to other sites when you click on an advertising banner.
Clicking on an ad banner may take you off our online site. The Independent
Traveler wants you to be aware that other sites may send their own cookies
to participants, collect data or solicit personal information over which
we have no control.
5. We will keep you informed, clearly and prominently, about what we
do with any personal information you may supply to us, and we will advise
you if we change our policy.
6. Information Collected by Third Parties. Third parties, such as vendors,
advertising entities, and business partners, may use cookies and other technologies
to collect information about your online activities. The purposes for collecting
this information include: to measure usage of our site; to analyze, modify, and
personalize advertising content on this and other sites; and to provide ads
about goods and services that may be of interest to you. We do not have
access to or control over cookies or other features these third parties may use,
and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this
Privacy Policy. Some of these third parties may be third-party network
advertisers that offer you the option of not having this information collected.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of 11/12/2008.
