Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. At AndaluciaVillasDirect we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
- In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
AndaluciaVillasDirect operates several websites including AndaluciaVillasDirect.com. It is AndaluciaVillasDirect’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, AndaluciaVillasDirect collects non-personally-identifying
information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available,
such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and
time of each visitor request. AndaluciaVillasDirect’s purpose in collecting
non-personally identifying information is to better understand how AndaluciaVillasDirect’s
visitors use its website. From time to time, AndaluciaVillasDirect may release
non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a
report on trends in the usage of its website.
AndaluciaVillasDirect also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. AndaluciaVillasDirect does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to AndaluciaVillasDirect’s websites choose to interact
with AndaluciaVillasDirect in ways that require AndaluciaVillasDirect to gather
personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information
that AndaluciaVillasDirect gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
For example, we ask visitors who register for emails to
provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with
AndaluciaVillasDirect are asked to provide additional
information, including as necessary the personal and financial information
required to process those transactions. In each case, AndaluciaVillasDirect
collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to
fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with AndaluciaVillasDirect.
AndaluciaVillasDirect does not disclose personally-identifying information
other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply
personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent
them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
AndaluciaVillasDirect may collect statistics about the behavior of
visitors to its websites. AndaluciaVillasDirect may display
this information publicly or provide it to others. However, AndaluciaVillasDirect
does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
AndaluciaVillasDirect discloses potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors
and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order
to process it on AndaluciaVillasDirect’s behalf or to provide services
available at AndaluciaVillasDirect’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed
not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and
affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by
using AndaluciaVillasDirect’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such
information to them. AndaluciaVillasDirect will not rent or sell potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations,
as described above, AndaluciaVillasDirect discloses potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when
required to do so by law, or when AndaluciaVillasDirect believes in
good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property
or rights of AndaluciaVillasDirect, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of an AndaluciaVillasDirect website and
have supplied your email address, AndaluciaVillasDirect may occasionally send
you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or
just keep you up to date with what’s going on with AndaluciaVillasDirect
and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate
this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our
feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us
clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.
AndaluciaVillasDirect takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect
against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
