The protection of your privacy is of great importance to us. Our Privacy Statement describes our commitment to protecting your privacy. In order to fully understand your rights related to privacy issues, we encourage you to read this Privacy Statement and to consult our Terms of Use. As our services evolve, we may from time to time amend this Privacy Statement. Please revisit it periodically and, if you have questions regarding either this Privacy Statement or our Terms of Use, contact us at privacy@thetripdoor.com.
Section 1: Collecting Personal Information
We collect two basic types of information on our site: personally identifiable and aggregate. The former is directly associated with information collected during registration including first name, last name, email address, age, hometown, current location, or information about activities that are directly linked to that person.. The latter is associated with anonymous demographic information such as country of origin, citizenship, ZIP code, age, gender, preferences and survey information. It is helps us understand trends and our user's needs so that we can better consider new features and continuously improve The TripDoor’s offerings.
In addition, The TripDoor logs Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from members and visitors for security, monitoring, and maintenance purposes. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, Web servers can identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, Web servers may be able to identify the type of browser you are using or even the type of computer. We collect IP addresses and related information for the purposes of system administration, to assess the traffic to our Web site and to maintain and improve our Web site.
Section 2: Cookies
We use "cookies" to track and store your preferences in order to personalize our site for you, estimate our audience size, and generally improve your The TripDoor experience. A cookie is a data file that is sent to your browser and is stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. A cookie assigns a random, unique number to your computer. Cookies allow us to recognize members and guides when they come to our Web-site after they initially register. Cookies also make your experience easier by saving your preferences and passwords. For example, if you choose "Remember Me" during sign in, we will store a scrambled version of your member ID in a permanent cookie file on your hard drive so that we can track your personalized services and preferences from one visit to the next. The TripDoor does not use cookies to retrieve any information from your hard drive. You can reject cookies by turning them off in your browser. However, if you choose to disable this function, your The TripDoor experience may be diminished and some features may not work as they were intended.
Section 3: Third Party Links and Ad Servers
We provide links to services provided by third party websites, which may, or may not, use cookies, pixel tags and web tags. We also allow other companies, called third-party ad servers, to display advertisements on The TripDoor. Ad servers may compile information about you, including but not limited to where you saw their advertisements and which ads you clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to members and visitors. It is important to emphasize that we are not responsible for, or have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party websites and ad servers. If you click through an advertisement or link to a third party’s website, you will be subject to that advertiser’s or third party’s privacy policy, which you should review. The The TripDoor Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the website and/or through the service. The TripDoor does not assume responsibility or liability for any third party’s policies or actions.
Section 4: Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies, except when we have your consent to do so, is as necessary to complete a transaction you have requested, when required by law, or when permitted to protect our rights or property. We will use, or supply to others, aggregated data (independent of any personal identifiers) for research and commercial purposes, such as describing our services, members and guides to prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties. These data are pooled and stripped of personal identifying information and cannot be traced to you specifically. Specific uses of personal information that vary from this Privacy Statement may be found in the privacy statement applicable to a specific service provided by our website. For instance, if you opt into our survey service, you give us permission to share personal and aggregate information with our partners. This information will be used to improve their services and products to you and you will be rewarded for your time. Please look for privacy statements and terms of use that apply to the services in which you participate.
We will transfer information about you if The TripDoor is acquired by or merged with another company. In such event, The TripDoor will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
Section 5: Children's Policy
The TripDoor is intended solely for use by persons 13 years of age or older. All persons under 13 years of age are prohibited from registering on the service or using the website. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personally identifying information from a child under the age of 13, such as full name, home address, e-mail address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child, we will promptly delete that data from our systems.
Section 6: Security
The TripDoor uses industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Although we make good faith efforts to store the information collected on the website in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use of The TripDoor, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time. While we will take appropriate security measures to protect the privacy of your personal information, no protection is foolproof, and transmissions made over the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. It may be possible for third parties to intercept and access private information you transmit through the Service. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. Your account information is accessible online only through the use of a password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of our web site by any person using your password.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement at any time without prior notice.
