ArabiaKnights.com is
committed to respecting your privacy. We have designed our
websites and booking engines so that you may visit them
without identifying yourself or revealing any personal
information, unless you opt to do so. Once you opt to
provide personally identifiable information (any information
by which you can be identified), it will only be used to
support your customer relationship with us and for our own
internal purposes, including marketing and research,
customization of our websites and improving the content of
our websites.
This Online Privacy Statement regarding the privacy of the
information you provide online covers the following main
areas: Awareness, What we Collect, Information Sharing,
Choice, Access & Accuracy, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness
ArabiaKnights.com provides this Online Privacy Statement to inform you about
our privacy policy and the practices and choices you can
make about the way your information is collected and used.
This notice may be accessed from any area of
ArabiaKnights.com websites
and our online booking engines.
What we collect
When making a reservation:
When you make a reservation online or by phone through our
customer support center, you will be asked for your name,
address, phone number, e-mail address and credit card
information. This information is used to contact you for
customer service, to guaranty your reservation with our
travel suppliers and/or to bill you for your travel
purchase. During the booking process you can choose not to
receive our newsletter or travel reminders by un-checking
the appropriate boxes on the online form.
Third-party vendors:
Some of ArabiaKnights.com
online booking engines are powered by third-party vendors.
Our goal is to work only with reputable and reliable
vendors. You should note that these vendors may have privacy
policies and practices that may differ from those of
ArabiaKnights.com.
Nevertheless, we strongly encourage you to read the privacy
policies of these vendors when using their websites.
E-Postcards:
ArabiaKnights.com
provides electronic postcards cards via our websites and our
affiliate websites for you to send to a friend. We store the
e-mail address of all recipients, the message you want to
send and the URL for locating the greeting card. We do not
sell, distribute, or license in anyway the use of recipient
e-mail addresses. We use them solely for the purposes of
notifying recipients on your behalf that a card is waiting
for them at the designated URL. After 30 days, all
information pertaining to your postcard is deleted.
About Cookies
Many websites, including those owned by
ArabiaKnights.com, use cookie
technology to help users navigate efficiently. The cookie is
a small text file that resides on your hard drive. From time
to time, our site(s) will request the cookie from your
browser so that we can retrieve the stored information. This
prevents you from making the same selections over and over
again. ArabiaKnights.com
does not use cookies to store personal information, such as
credit-card numbers.
An example of how cookies are used is as follows: When you
conduct a search using our hotel-booking engine for hotels
in Orlando, a cookie will be set recording the city of
Orlando as the parameter of your search. When you return to
the search form to narrow or change your search, Orlando
will automatically be entered into the city field in the
search form.
Please note that with most browsers, a user can set the
preferences to show a warning each time a cookie request is
received. You can also usually set the browser not to accept
cookies at all. However, to make your experience using our
hotel-booking engine as convenient as possible, we suggest
that you allow your browser to accept cookies.
Information Sharing
ArabiaKnights.com will
not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable
information to third parties. Unless we have your permission
or are required by law, we will only share the personal data
you provide online with other third-party vendors that are
acting on our behalf to complete the activities described
above. We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
Choice
ArabiaKnights.com will
not use or share the personally identifiable information
provided to us online in ways unrelated to the purposes
described above without letting you know and offering you a
choice. Please be aware that our website and those of our
affiliates may contain links to other websites, and that the
privacy practices of these other websites may differ from
those of Q8 Hotels. This Online Privacy Statement does not
apply to other websites. We encourage you to read the
Privacy Policies of all other websites you visit.
Access & Accuracy
ArabiaKnights.com strives
to keep your personally identifiable information accurate.
We make every effort to provide you with online access to
your registration data so that you may update or correct
your information on the hotel-booking engine where it was
submitted. To protect your privacy and security, we will
also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before
granting you access or enabling you to make corrections to
your user account.
Security
ArabiaKnights.com is
committed to protecting the security of your information. To
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and
ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in
place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect online. We use encryption when collecting or
transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
