At MLS-Caribbean.com ("MLS-Caribbean") we want you to
know exactly how and when we collect and use information that can
specifically identify you, such as your name, mailing address, phone
number, and email address ("personal information").
We do not require that you provide, nor do we collect, any personal
information if you are just browsing the Site. We also may offer
at the Site non-transactional and transactional services ("Service(s)")
in which, subject to applicable terms and availability, you may
participate (e.g. submitting reviews, trip reports, contributing
to the message forums, or posting a listing). In order to provide
you with the Services you requested, MLS-Caribbean may require
that you first provide certain personal information, which we determine
is reasonably necessary in order for us to fulfill your request.
If you indicate an interest in participating in a Service, we will
identify what specific personal information you must provide prior
to collecting such information. Any personal information which we
collect from you will only be used for the purposes identified in
this Privacy Statement, the MLS-Caribbean Terms of Use and your
applicable Member Agreement with MLS-Caribbean, and as may indicated
at the time the information is collected.
MLS-Caribbean will not disclose your personal information to any
third party unless: 1) it is necessary in order for MLS-Caribbean
to disclose your personal information in order to provide you with
a particular service you have requested; 2) disclosure is required
of MLS-Caribbean in order to comply with a legal process (e.g.,
court order, subpoena, search warrant, law enforcement request);
3) MLS-Caribbean determines, in its sole discretion, that disclosure
is necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of MLS-Caribbean, its subsidiaries, affiliates, co-brand partners or other partners,
our users, or others; or 4) you have provided such data through
a partner's private-level shopping comparison site maintained by
MLS-Caribbean, in which case MLS-Caribbean may provide your personal
data to that partner (MLS-Caribbean is not responsible for its
partners' privacy policies).
In certain instances, MLS-Caribbean may request that you provide
secondary information (e.g., demographic information), which we
may use to, for example, learn more about out customers and to develop
and improve our services. Any requests for secondary information
will be marked "optional" (or its equivalent). We may
compile your personal information with that collected from other
customers to create aggregate data. Aggregate data is information
about groups of customer and, once compiled, will in no way identify
you as an individual. We may disclose aggregate data to our business
affiliates, advertisers, and other parties.
Our web servers collect from Site visitors statistical information
regarding what pages are visited, the date and time of the visits,
how long it took a user to download a page, and the TCP/IP address
of the user. These automated server functions do not collect this
information in a manner intended to identify your individual use
of the Site, nor do we use this information for any such purpose.
This information is collected to assist us in maintaining a high
quality site, as well as providing necessary traffic information
to our advertisers.
The Site contains links to web sites of third parties. MLS-Caribbean is not responsible for the actions of these third parties,
including their privacy practices and any content posted on their
web sites or MLS-Caribbean listings. We encourage you to review
their privacy policies to learn more about what, why and how they
collect and use personal information. MLS-Caribbean adheres to
industry recognized standards to secure any personal information
in our possession, and to secure it from unauthorized access and
tampering. However, as is true with all online actions, it is possible
that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions of personal
information, or other users of the Site may misuse or abuse your
personal information that they may collect from the Site. |
