WHEN
YOU ARE “JUST LOOKING”
We encourage you to visit our site often, even if you’re
“just looking”. We are creating the most dynamic camping
lifestyle destination on the World Wide Web. Our content changes
frequently and we’re always adding new and exciting experiences,
therefore we hope you’ll visit often. When you’re
“just looking,” you won’t be asked to reveal
who you are or provide any Personal Information. When you visit
our site we do collect usage information, but it is anonymous
and is not linked to you as an individual. We use this data to
better understand things like how our site is navigated, how many
visitors arrive at specific pages, the length and frequency of
stays at our site, the variety of searches of our site's database,
the types of browsers and computer operating systems used by our
visitors and the Internet Protocol addresses from which our visitors
connect to our site. We use this information to improve our site
content and ease of use.
Cookies and Pixel Tags
We, or a third-party advertiser acting on our behalf, may place
a "cookie" or "pixel tag" on your personal
computer when you come to the site or visit a site on which we
advertise. These devices are small computer files that our computer
sends to your computer and that your computer sends back to us
each time you make a request from our site. We use these devices
to collect data to help us personalize and improve your experiences
on our site. The data on your use of our site may be linked to
the Personal Information you have chosen to share with us when
you register. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies.
However, you can instruct your browser, by editing its options,
to stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie
from the sites you visit. If you decide not to accept our cookies,
your ability to use some features on our site may be impaired.
Third-party Advertisers
We work with Internet marketing companies to advertise Campsitewizard.com
on the Internet, and we have third-party advertisers on our site.
Third-party advertisers may use cookies and pixel tags to gather
information about the ads you have seen and the types of things
that you appear interested in. We do not share any Personal Information
about you with these advertisers unless you give us specific permission
to do so, separate from any permission you provide during the
registration process. These advertisers may use combined information
about your visits to our site and other sites in order to provide
advertisements about related goods and services that you may be
interested in. This privacy policy does not cover the policies
or practices of these third-party advertisers.
In addition, we may use the services of a marketing company to
help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors
use our site. To do this, we use pixel tags and cookies provided
by our marketing company on this site. The information we collect
helps us learn things like what kinds of customers our site attracts,
which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds
of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing company
logs the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control
how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to help
us learn how to improve our site, products, offers and marketing
strategy, you can "opt-out" of this web-site analysis
tool by clicking here.

to operate our business. We will share with these other companies
only that Personal Information they require to fulfill your orders.
These companies agree that they will not use or disclose that
Personal Information for any other purpose. Other than as explained

legal process, (d) if we believe in good faith that the law requires
it; or (e) in connection with a sale of our business or company.

Sharing of Personal Information
We partner with a 3rd party provider for our on-line store. We
also contract with other companies to perform various functions

Links to Other Sites
Our site provides
links to other sites. When you click on one of these links, you
are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not
control and for which we cannot be responsible. You should carefully
review the privacy statements or policies on any other site that
you visit because those privacy statements or policies will apply
to your visit to that site and may be very different from our
policy. This privacy policy will not cover the use of your Personal
Information by these other companies. We encourage you to read
each other company's privacy policy before signing up for any
of its products or services.
Camping Profile
We combine
your Personal Information and other information you voluntarily
share with us in what we call your "Camping Profile".
We also add the data about how you use our site to your Camping
Profile. We may also collect information about you from outside
sources and add it to your Camping Profile.
We collect
and use all of the information in your Camping Profile to improve
the quality of our service to you and your experience with us.
For example, we may use the combination of information in your
Camping Profile to (a) personalize the service we provide to you,
(b) communicate with you about changes to our site, service updates
and new features or outages on our site, and (c) allocate the
resources of our systems so that your experience with our site
is as efficient as possible.
Opt-out
As part of
the registration process, we give you two important choices ("opt-out")
about receiving advertisements, updates and promotions via e-mail.
We hope you will find these items interesting and informative.
In fact, we will use the information you tell us about your travel
preferences and experiences to share customized advertisements,
updates and promotions with you that include our recommendations
to you about travel specials. Nonetheless, you will let us know
if you do not want us to use your e-mail addresses to deliver
to you: (1) updates highlighting campgrounds, recreation, promotions,
contests, sweepstakes and other camping and travel opportunities
available on our site and/or sponsored by our travel service providers
and advertisers; and/or (2) our newsletter highlighting specials,
promotions, contests, sweepstakes and other camping and travel
opportunities available on our site and/or sponsored by our partners.
We use an email delivery and marketing company to send the emails
that you have agreed to receive. Pixel tags and cookies are used
in those email messages and at our website to help us measure
the effectiveness of our advertising and to study how visitors
use our site.
Online Surveys and Contests
We value your
comments and opinions. From time to time, we will invite you,
as a registered user of our site, to participate in online surveys,
but the choice will be yours. Your participation in these surveys
is on an anonymous basis, unless you provide permission to the
contrary. We may offer you the chance to win a variety of camping
related prizes by sponsoring contests. You choose to participate
in these contests or not. If you choose to participate in these
contests, you will share certain of your Personal Information
with us, like your full name, e-mail address and mailing address.
Participation in these contests may include participation in an
online survey. We will only use your Personal Information to notify
you if you win a contest.
Changing and Removing Personal Information and Other Information
We are committed
to giving you control over your Personal Information. You can
change your password and any of the Personal Information or Other
Information in your Camping Profile, by logging into your account
using your username and password. If at any time you want to view
the Personal Information or Other Information in your Traveler
Profile, your Personal Information changes, you want to change
the preferences associated with your account, or would like us
to remove some or all of the Personal Information or Other Information
stored in your Camping Profile, you can correct, update, or remove
the information and preferences you have shared with us by logging
into your account using your username and password. If you request
that we remove all of the Personal Information and Other Information
stored in your Camping Profile, then we will promptly do so. If
we remove your Personal Information you will not be able to use
the services available on our site unless you re-register. Similarly,
we will remove all of your travel records within six (6) months
after receiving a request to do so. This six (6) month period
is necessary to ensure that arrangements made through our site
are properly accounted for. We may not be able to honor your request
to remove your Personal Information or travel records if we are
legally obligated to retain that information or those records.
You will not have the ability to view, change or remove session
data or information that we have gathered from third parties from
your Camping Profile.
Notification
of Changes
We may change this policy from time to time. If we decide to change
this policy in a material way (for example, a change regarding
disclosure of Personal Information), we will post notice of the
change on our site and notify you via e-mail at the address you
have provided to us or pop-up screen at least thirty (30) days
before putting the change into effect. If we decide to change
our policy in a less significant way, we will simply post notice
of the change on our site at least thirty (30) days before putting
the change into effect. If any proposed change is unacceptable
to you, you may, as discussed in the section above (Changing and
Removing Personal and Other Information), request that we remove
your Personal Information from our records.
Combined Non-Personal Information
We may also combine anonymous information supplied by you and
other users during registration on our site with information about
your use and others' use of our site. We will use this combined
information to describe our user base, without reference to any
specific individual, to potential partners, investors and advertisers.
We will not share your Personal Information with any other users
of our site, but we may use information we collect about your
travel preferences and experiences to make recommendations to
other users of our site. We may also share aggregated statistical
information about users of our site and our service and product
offerings with others, including our vendors and partners. We
will not link this statistical information to any Personal Information
that can identify you as an individual.
How
We Protect Your Information
Your Privacy
is very important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
We protect your account information by placing it on the secure
portion of our website. Our servers have been enabled with Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to prevent unauthorized parties
from viewing your nonpublic personal information that you give
or access during a secure session. This is why you must enter
a unique User Name and Password each time you access your account
information online. In addition, we employ VeriSign's digital
certificate services to authenticate that you are transacting
with Campsitewizard.com or one of our other internet portals.
You can take
steps to maximize your security online and protect your confidential
information. Never share your Password with anyone, and change
it periodically. You can change your User Name and Passwords at
any time through the Set Passwords & Features link under the
User Profile tab.
CHILDREN
Children -
in fact minors (individuals under 18 years of age) - are not eligible
to register for or use the services available on our site. We
believe that parents should play a central role in their child's
online activities and should monitor those activities to ensure
that sites visited by their child are respecting their child's
privacy. For additional information on protecting children's privacy,
visit the Federal Trade Commission's "Kid'z Privacy"
page at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html.
