Dubai Hotels Privacy Policy
Dubai Hotel Reservations is committed to respecting
your privacy. We have designed our websites and booking engines so
that you may visit them 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 for our own internal purposes, including
marketing and research, customization of our websites and improving
the content of our websites.
This Online Privacy Statement regarding the privacy
of the information you provide online covers the following main areas:
Awareness, What we Collect, Information Sharing, Choice, Access &
Accuracy, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness
Dubai Hotel Reservations provides this Online
Privacy Statement 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 Dubai
Hotel Reservation's websites and our online booking engines.
What 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
guaranty 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 Dubai Hotel Reservation's online booking
engines are powered by third-party vendors. Our goal is to work only
with reputable and reliable vendors. You should note that these
vendors may have privacy policies and practices that may differ from
those of Dubai Hotel Reservations. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage
you to read the privacy policies of these vendors when using their
websites.
E-Postcards:
Dubai Hotel Reservations provides electronic
postcards cards 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 those owned by Dubai Hotel
Reservations, use cookie technology to help users navigate
efficiently. The 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.
Dubai Hotel Reservations 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 using our hotel-booking
engine as convenient as possible, we suggest that you allow your
browser to accept cookies.
Information Sharing
Dubai Hotel Reservations will not sell, rent, or
lease your personally identifiable information to third parties.
Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only
share the personal data you provide online with other third-party
vendors that are acting on our behalf to complete the activities
described above. We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
Choice
Dubai Hotel Reservations will not use or share the
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
Dubai Hotel Reservations. 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
Dubai Hotel Reservations 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.
Security
Dubai Hotel Reservations is committed to protecting
the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such
as credit card information.
