1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
We collect “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information we may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks. Personal Information includes your name, your email address, and (for businesses) your business license number, which you submit to us through the registration process of the Applications or through your purchase of our tours.
a. Information collected via Technology. In an effort to improve the quality of the Applications, we track information provided to us by your browser or by our software applications when you view or use the Applications, such as the website you came from (known as the “referring URL”), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Applications, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user’s browser from our servers and are stored on the user’s computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis. For example, GRS may use cookies to collect the following information:
Login status
Email address
GRS may use both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser.
b. Information you provide us by registering for an account or purchasing a tour. In addition to the information provided automatically by your browser when you visit the Application, to become a subscriber to the Application you will need to create an account. To purchase a tour, you will also need to provide us with certain information. By registering an account or purchasing a tour, you are authorizing us to collect, store and use your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFORMATION.
a. Personal Information. Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We do share Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for GRS, such as the servers for our email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from us. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
In general, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you and to facilitate your transactions via the Applications. For example, we use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, provide technical support, and inform users about promotional offers.
b. Non-Personal Information. In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Applications and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns in the Applications. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.
c. Change of Control. In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to the Applications and our website at http://guideresourceservices.com/privacy so that you may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check the Applications and our website periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.
3. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION. We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Applications, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
