Information Sharing and Disclosure
- The Hotel Booking Network does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you
with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products
or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under
the following circumstances:
- We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf
of or with The Hotel Booking Network under confidentiality agreements. These companies
may use your personal information to help The Hotel Booking Network communicate with
you about offers from The Hotel Booking Network and our marketing partners. However,
these companies do not have any independent right to share this
information.
- We have a parent's permission to share the information if the
user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing
The Hotel Booking Network to collect and use their child's information without consenting
to The Hotel Booking Network sharing of this information with people and companies
who may use this information for their own purposes;

- We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected
fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety
of any person, violations of The Hotel Booking Network's terms of use, or as otherwise
required by law.

merged with another company. In this event, The Hotel Booking Network will notify you
before information about you is transferred and becomes subject
to a different privacy policy.
- The Hotel Booking Network displays targeted advertisements based on personal information.
Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people
who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting
criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic
area.
- The Hotel Booking Network does not provide any personal information to the advertiser
when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting
with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that
the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting
criteria used to display the ad.

banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and
non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software
companies).
Cookies

our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies'
use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this
one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to The Hotel Booking Network's
cookies.
Confidentiality and Security
- We limit access to personal information about you to employees who
we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information
to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
- We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply
with international regulations to protect personal information about
you.
