This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of our Terms of Use. This policy only addresses our activities from our servers. Other sites (including those that we link to and third party sites or services that we co-brand or link to us) may have their own policies, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed by this policy.
1. What personal information is collected?
You may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you: (a) register for the site, (b) register for free newsletters, (c) register for free email services, (d) book a reservation, (e) make an inquiry about a vacation rental property and related services; (f) send email messages, submit forms or send other information to us; and/or (g) subscribe to receive services. You may also be required to provide us with certain personal information of other person(s) staying with you at a property, and you must ensure that each of these other persons has authorized you to disclose their personal information to us. We may collect personal information from you at other points on our site that state that personal information is being collected. We may also receive certain personal information from some of our co-branded third party partners. In the event of a complaint, we may also receive personal information about you from other parties in our network or from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.
In addition, our servers automatically collect information about which sites users visit and which pages are viewed within the www.TheSociety.com website, but in these instances, we do not obtain personal information about you. We use a feature of your browser called a “cookie” to assign a User ID that automatically identifies your computer when you visit the site. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. We may also use clear GIFs on some pages within the www.TheSociety.com website. Clear GIFs and cookies make your internet experience quicker and more convenient. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly if you do so.
We do not knowingly permit the site to be used by any person under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from any person under the age of 13, although when taking a reservation we may request additional information regarding all occupants of a property, including age.
2. What organization is collecting the information?
The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts, a Delaware corporation, owns and operates the www.TheSociety.com website and is the company that collects personal information on our site. Our mailing address is 2930 Larimer Street, Denver, Colorado 80205, our telephone number is 866-789-8222, and our customer service email address is info[at]thesociety.com.
3. How the information is used and disclosed to third parties.
As a general practice, we do not provide your personally identifiable information to third parties. The major exception to this practice is that if you provide information to us in connection with a vacation property you wish to rent, we may share your information with the owner/manager of the property (“Property Manager”). This Privacy Policy does not address the activities or policies of any Property Manager or other third parties. We do not sell your email address or your name and personal demographic information to mass marketers, however, on particular pages where we ask for your personally identifiable information, we may explicitly tell you that the data we are collecting on that page will be shared with third parties, in which case those disclosures shall override anything to the contrary in this policy. For example, before you submit answers to questions we ask in an advertiser-sponsored promotion, we will tell you that your answers will be shared with that advertiser.
In some cases, we use your personally identifiable information to provide information to you, such as to send to you requested newsletters or to provide to you requested services.
In some situations, we share your personally identifiable information with third parties who provide services to our site in order to enhance the functionality available to you on our website, and to provide you with new products and services. We use third party vendors to conduct and/or facilitate a survey of our clients and customers to obtain information on our services.
We use your information on an aggregated basis to do such things as operate our site, enhance our site, and sell and deliver advertising. We also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to enhance your on-site experience by displaying content and marketing messages that we believe will be of interest to you.
We may use your information to notify you about information related to your inquiry or booking. We may also use your information to contact you about updates to our site and services, and to market vacation property inventory available from our Property Managers.
4. Controlling the collection, use and distribution of your information.
You can control the content of your personal information by following the instructions stated below in section 5.
Please note that if you provide any information on your own or directly to parties who provide service to our website or any other sites you encounter on the Internet (even if these sites are branded with our branding), different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing information to third parties.
5. How to correct, update or delete your personal information.
You can access and update your personal information, including changing your subscriptions to our email newsletters and opting out of receiving email about our services, by emailing us at info[at]thesociety.com Even if you delete or change some personal information in our registration database, it may still be stored on other databases (including those kept for archival purposes).
6. Our security procedures.
We have established and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personal information. “Perfect security,” however, does not exist on the Internet.
Although your privacy is very important to us, due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personal information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
We hope this policy clarifies our procedures regarding your personal information. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time, so please re-visit this page as often as you wish.
