Travelport has partnered with Softvoyage, Inc. ("Softvoyage") and its licensees (collectively referred to as "we" or "our" or "us") to provide this Galileo Vacations website to you. We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of personal data or personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") about the users and visitors of our website. The following Privacy Policy discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. Please note, however, that we may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We want to give you an understanding about how we collect your information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.
By using our website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, alter or update this portion of our Privacy Policy at any time. Such modifications, alterations, and updates shall be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of this Galileo Vacations website following the posting of a modified, altered, or updated Privacy Policy will mean you accept those modifications, alterations or updates. Privacy Policy changes will apply to Personal Information that you submit to us about you through your use of our website ("Website Personal Information") collected after the date we post the revised Privacy Policy, as well as to existing Website Personal Information held by us.
This website will permit you to link to other websites that may or may not be affiliated with us. The other linked websites may have different privacy policies that are not the same as our Privacy Policy, or may not have privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies (if any) for all such websites as they may differ from this Privacy Policy. Your use of such linked websites through links provided on this website is governed by the terms and privacy policies of those sites, not this website.
We gather two types of information about you: (1) Website Personal Information that users provide through optional, voluntary features of our website, and (2) data that we gather through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying web pages that are viewed by users throughout our website.
The provision of your Website Personal Information is voluntary. If you do not provide us with the required Website Personal Information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you requested.
We collect information when we request it from you and when you provide it to us voluntarily. Generally this occurs when you register at the website or request information or a service from us. Usually, we and our business partners use your information to operate the website and to deliver products and/or services. We also use your information to inform you about other products and/or services available from us and our business partners.
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses: An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the computers, known as "web servers", that "serve up" web pages. This allows us to identify and gather general information and data about you, such as the web pages you view. When users request web pages from our website, our web servers log the user's IP address. For example, we collect and track the home server domain name, the type of computer, and the type of web browser used by you to access this website. We will use this information to further identify you when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our website Terms of Use or to protect our service, site, users, or others.
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer for record-keeping purposes. This information is stored in a file on your computer's hard drive. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our website when you return to the website. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find that most major websites use them. By showing how and when users use the website, cookies help us see which areas of the website are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the website are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of our services will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences.
We have two primary uses for cookies. First, we use them to specify a user's preferences. Second, we use cookies to track website usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our users' needs better and improve areas of our website. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling or refusing the cookies via your web browser preferences. We also use cookies or similar technologies to track when you open the emails we send you. If you do not agree with our use of such technologies, you may opt out of receiving messages from us.
