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.
