We present the following Privacy Statement to explain the way we handle the information you provide us, and to briefly explain the methods and technologies we incorporate into our business activities to protect your privacy.
Data Security
In the course of operating our business, TropicalTravel.net must store and process customer and merchant data, including credit card information, customer's personal information, use statistics, and other pertinent data. We make all reasonable efforts to secure the personally identifiable portions of this data both during transit across the Internet, and once stored in our systems.
We implement a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your data and personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure. To ensure privacy of e-commerce transactions, we have under contract an outside service with an approved banking relationship to process credit card transactions. When we transmit sensitive personal information such as credit card numbers over the Internet, we protect it using the latest secure transaction server technology available to us, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. All credit card information is encrypted and only the information needed to complete a transaction history is stored on our secure server.
