Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. We value the online security of all transactions, and of all information inquiries directed to us

Information Collection and Use    Europe By Choice may collect information from the users of this site at several different points, except as set forth below, Europe By Choice will not share user information with anyone other than its affiliates.

Registration    In order to use certain areas of this website, a user must first complete a registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.

Order    We request information from the user on our order forms. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

Cookies    A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

Sharing    We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not have our permission to retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We may partner with others to provide specific services, for example travel insurance. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Links    This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that neither we nor our affiliates are responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

Surveys    From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys and/or trip evaluations. Participation in these surveys and/or trip evaluations is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information; the user may simply opt out of participating in the survey. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, as well as for other purposes.

Security    When users are requested to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with what we believe to be the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.

Supplementation of Information    In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site and our services to an individual, we may combine information regarding travel related aspects of the user, for example, the time, fare and passport number and use this information for providing travel related services on behalf of the user. Correction/Updating Personal Information: If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the customer information page or by emailing our Customer Support Department.

Choice/Opt-out    Europe By Choice may use your email address to deliver to you occasional news of new product offerings or special developments. If you prefer not to receive email from Europe By Choice, simply send a clearly stated message    to info@europebychoice.com. We will be glad to honor your request.

Notification of Changes    If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and how/why disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
