Travel Online is part of BTI New Zealand, one of the largest travel management companies in New Zealand. We are committed to respecting your on-line privacy and recognise your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us.

Travel Online has established this On-line Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information. Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an e-mail address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Travel Online's web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself, until such time as you choose to book on-line.

If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within Travel Online or BTI New Zealand, or to our third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. This is because in order to fulfil your on-line booking requests, Travel Online has to rely on other third parties with your information. Whilst Travel Online cannot provide total guarantees with information once with the third-party service providers, you can be rest assured that Travel Online is very confident about its third-party service providers' abilities to uphold the privacy of our customers' data.

The foregoing policies are currently in effect, however Travel Online or BTI New Zealand reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Some of our Web pages utilise "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example to collect information about Web site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; click stream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. Travel Online reserves the right to perform statistical analysis of user behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Travel Online will provide only aggregated data from this analysis to third parties. We may also analyse information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

Third Party Services

Third parties provide certain services available on travelonline.co.nz, on behalf of Travel Online. Travel Online may provide information, including Personal Information that we collect on the Web to third-party service providers to help us deliver programmes, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means by which Travel Online maintains its Web site and mailing lists. Travel Online will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on Travel Online's behalf.

Also, users should be aware that Travel Online may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through the Travel Online or BTI New Zealand sites. Travel Online is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.

Travel Online does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Travel Online's behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against Travel Online's policy to sell Personal Information collected on-line without consent.

Children's Privacy

Travel Online is not structured to attract children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.

Commitment

Travel Online is committed to privacy and supports current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy rights on the Internet. Protecting your privacy on-line is an evolving area, and the travelonline.co.nz website will be constantly evolving to meet these demands.

If you have any comments or questions regarding our On-line Privacy Policy, please contact us at webmaster@travelonline.co.nz

Whilst we cannot guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the best of our abilities as soon as possible.
