Travel Inn believes that customer who books or looks for any services at www.travelinn.in
has the right to know about the privacy policy that is followed by us. For the trust
the client has on Travel Inn, we value the right to your privacy.
The idea of this policy is to educate the user as to what personal information is
being captured by us and where the same is being used. It describes the principles
and practices that apply to Personal Information (defined below) collected from
users of our services ("you") on our Site, in telephone or e-mail communications,
or in interviews, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or raffles.
In short
1. We will not collect Personal Information without your knowledge and permission;
2. We will not knowingly disclose your Personal Information to third parties, except
as provided in this Privacy Policy;
3. We will take reasonable steps to protect the security of the Personal Information
we collect from you.
For unregistered users
We encourage you to register with us in order to book services on our website and
to take advantage of our customization features. However, you may choose not to
register and take advantage of any feature of our site where registration is not
required.
If you do not register, then the information we collect from you is limited.
We log your IP address in order to help diagnose problems with our server, administer
our Web site and track usage statistics.
Your IP address may vary each time you visit, or it may be the same, depending on
whether you access our site through an always-on type of Internet connection (e.g.,
cable modem or DSL), or through a dial-up connection (e.g., VSNL, MTNL etc). Either
way, it would be extremely difficult for us to identify you through your IP address,
and we make no attempt to do so.
If you reached our site by clicking on a link or advertisement on another site,
then we also log that information. This helps us to maximize our Internet exposure,
and to understand the interests of our users. All of this information is collected
and used only in the aggregate; that is, it is entered into our database, where
we can use it to generate overall reports on our visitors, but not reports about
individual visitors.
We also place a small file known as a "cookie" on your computer's hard
drive. A cookie may contain information that allows us to track your path through
our Web site and to determine whether you have visited us before. However, unless
you register with us, it contains no personally identifiable information that would
allow us to identify you. Cookies cannot be used to read data off of your hard drive,
and cannot retrieve information from any other cookies created by other Web sites.
We use cookies in this manner to help us understand how visitors use our site, and
to help us to improve our site. You may refuse to accept a cookie from us by following
the procedures specific to your Web browser. Although you may do so, you may find
that your browser reacts strangely when visiting not only our Web site, but other
Web sites as well. Since cookies don't provide us with any information from which
we can identify you, we suggest you allow us to place one on your computer. If you
are visiting a site where you will be accessing your confidential account information,
you will be required to accept cookies as it is essential for site administration
and security.
If you visit our site by "clicking-through" from a site operated by one
of our partners, and you have registered with that partner, then certain information
about you that you have provided to that partner may be transmitted to us. You should
review the privacy policy of the Web site from which you reached our site in order
to determine what information was collected and how you agreed that our partner
could use that information. Regardless of what information was transmitted to us,
however, we don't keep it unless you register with us.
Registered Users
All users who choose to register themselves on our site www.travelinn.in will be
able to do online transactions with us. You will be able to purchase services like
Flights, Hotels, Car Rentals, Packages, Cruises etc. available on our site.
If you register with us, we will collect personal information from you in addition
to the non-personal information described above. That personal information may include
your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, travel preferences,
passport number, user name and password. The information we collect may vary, but
we only collect the information that you manually enter into our forms. We may store
all or some of that information in a cookie file on your hard drive, so that our
system will recognize you each time you visit our site. In that way, we can save
your preferences from visit to visit and present you with a customized Web site,
without requiring you to log into our site every time you visit. To improve services
and enhance personalization, we may periodically obtain information about you from
other independent third-party sources and add it to your registration information.
Additionally, authorized Travel Inn personnel may update your registration information
to accurately reflect any new information included in communications received from
you.
How we use the personal information we collect.
We use the personal information we collect to help both of us! As we mentioned above,
registering with us allows you to personalize our Web site so that it is most useful
to you. It also allows you to log into our site automatically each time you visit,
rather than manually typing your user name and password every time. By registering
you can also track your history of transactions that you have done on our site which
is available in the form of a Dossier. We may also use this information to periodically
contact you with news or important information from Travel Inn or to request your
feedback on our site. In addition to these periodic updates, we may email you additional
materials, but only if you specifically request them. These might include opt-in
newsletters and other materials that you proactively request from Travel Inn.
In addition to these communications, if you have provided an email address, we may
use your personal information to send you notifications about special offers or
to tell you about opportunities available from our partners. You may opt-out of
any or all marketing communications from Travel Inn in any commercial e-mail we
send or at any time, as well as access and update your personal information, by
visiting www.travelinn.in
Disclosure of your personal information.
Travel Inn does not sell or rent any personal information to any third party, other
than our partners, as discussed in this policy. We may aggregate personal information
from all of our users and provide that information in the aggregate to other parties,
including advertisers, for marketing and promotional purposes. However, if we do
so, that information will not be in a form that will allow any third party to identify
you personally.
Steps we take to protect your personal information.
Travel Inn has implemented security procedures to help protect the personal information
stored in our systems. For example, we limit access to personal information about
you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information.

termination) to protect against unauthorized access to your personal information.

document management, retention and destruction policy and applicable laws. This
period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us, but it will be only
as long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any
issues that may arise later. For example, we may need or be required to retain information
to allow you to obtain credit for trip your Purchased but had to cancel. We may
also need the retain certain information to prevent fraudulent activity; to protect
ourselves against liability, permit us to pursue available remedies or limit any
damages that we may sustain; or if we believe in good faith that a law, regulation,
rule or guideline requires it.

by Travel Inn, located either at our offices, or at the offices of our service providers.
