USA is
committed to protecting your privacy online.
Visitors
to USA's website are not required to provide personal information.
If you request information or forms from us we ask for information
such as your name, address, e-mail address, birth date, gender,
and school you attend or teach at. Any information collected from
you for such purposes is voluntary.
USA is
required to collect personal information about you when you register
for travel on our website. We need information such as your name,
address, e-mail address, birth date, gender, school you attend or
teach at, and credit card information in order to register you for
travel. USA may also use that information to contact you about other
information, services or products related to the trip, such as cancellation
insurance, in which you might be interested. Only you can make changes
to your personal information. If you would like to correct any information
that has been inaccurately provided to us or that has changed, or
to delete your name and other personal information from this website
after your travel has been completed, please hit the "Contact
Us" button of the appropriate USA program and send us clear instructions
to that effect.
Upon registration,
you will be provided with a travel identification number with which
you can access your individual travel profile. You are responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of the travel identification
number, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur
with respect to your travel identification number. You agree to
immediately notify USA of any unauthorized use of your travel identification
number.
Because
our travel services are offered in conjunction with the services
of other companies such as airlines, hotels, and other tour operators,
USA will be sharing your personal information with those companies.
See Terms of Service regarding how your personal information may
be shared. USA may disclose information about you, such as your
name or address to companies unrelated to the travel services to
be rendered, unless you inform us that you do not wish such personal
information to be sold or otherwise distributed. See Privacy Policy,
Sale or Distribution of Information.
If USA
believes that you are violating USA's Terms of Service or are causing
injury through interference or otherwise, USA will disclose personal
information necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action,
or when USA is legally required to disclose such information.
USA's
website does contain links to other websites that may collect personal
information about you, and we have no control over the privacy issues
of those websites. You must contact such websites for their own
privacy policies, if any. See Terms of Service regarding Links/Third
Party Websites.
When you
provide us with credit card information in order to complete a purchase
transaction or for verification purposes, we transmit that credit
card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption. However, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we
can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
When children
under the age of 13 attempt to register with USA, we ask for a parent
or guardian to provide consent before we collect any registration
information. Children should always ask a parent for permission
before sending personal information to anyone online. Any privacy
policy changes will be posted here. Questions regarding USA's privacy
statement can be directed to webmaster@usatravelgroup.com.
