Privacy Policy
'You are in control of the information you provide Discovering Ireland Vacation'
Discovering Ireland Vacation is committed to respecting and protecting your personal privacy. You are not required to provide any personal information to visit Discovering Ireland Vacation sites and browse our travel products and information. Only when an enquiry or transaction takes place does personal information become necessary. Any feedback you'd like to provide to help us better meet your expectations in this area is welcomed.
Information Collection and Use
Discovering Ireland Vacation is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways other than disclosed in this statement. Discovering Ireland Vacation collects information from our Guests at several different points on our website.
Enquiries
We request information from the Guest on our enquiry form. Here a Guest must provide contact information (such as name, country, email address). This information is used initially to contact the Guest regarding itineraries, quotes, etc. and later for billing purposes.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the Guest's hard drive containing information about the Guest. Discovering Ireland Vacation does not use cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site, track Guests' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We use UPS, an outside shipping company, to ship tickets, and a credit card processing company (either Mastercard, Visa or American Express) to bill Guests for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
When you reserve or purchase travel services through Discovering Ireland Vacation, we provide information about you to the airline, car rental agency, hotel, travel agency or other involved third party to ensure the successful fulfilment of your travel arrangements.
We do not sell individual Guests' names or other private profile information to third parties and will not do so in the future. Occasionally, Discovering Ireland Vacation will hire a third party to act on our behalf for projects such as market research surveys and contest entry processing and will provide information to these third parties specifically for use in connection with these projects. The information we provide to such third parties is protected by a confidentiality agreement and is to be used solely for completing the specific project.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we at Discovering Ireland Vacation are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our Guests to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.
Newsletter
If a Guest wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. This information like all other information we collect will not be sold, shared or rented in any way contrary to the terms disclosed in this statement.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from Guests via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the Guest therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Refer-a-Page
If a Guest elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address, as well as their own name and email address. Discovering Ireland Vacation will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site and send the Guest a confirmation email. Discovering Ireland Vacation stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
Supplementation of Information
We do not supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a Guest's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a Guest no longer desires our service, we will endeavour to provide a way to correct, update or remove that Guest's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by emailing our Privacy Support.
Choice/Opt out
Guests who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt out of receiving these communications by unsubscribing on our homepage.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so our Guests are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify Guests by way of an email. Guests will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
