Bluelime Holidays wishes to mention here under, the privacy policy that is followed. This is for the benefit of the customer who looks for any products or services on the website www.bluelimeholidays.in. With this privacy policy, we wish to educate the user regarding the personal information we are capturing and where it is being used. It describes the principles and practices that apply to Personal Information (defined below) collected from users of our services (“you”) on our Site, in telephone or e-mail communications, or in interviews, surveys or contests. We will not collect personal information without your knowledge and permission: We will not knowingly disclose your Personal Information to third parties, except as provided in this Privacy Policy; We will take reasonable steps to protect the security of the Personal Information we collect from you.
We log your IP address in order to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our website and track usage statistics. Your IP address may vary each time you visit, or it may be the same, depending on whether you access our site through an always-on type of Internet connection (e.g., cable modem or DSL), or through a dial-up connection (e.g., VSNL, MTNL etc). Either way, it would be extremely difficult for us to identify you through your IP address, and we make no attempt to do so. If you reached our site by clicking on a link or advertisement on another site we also log that information. This helps us to maximize our Internet exposure, and to understand the interests of our users. All of this information is collected and used only in the aggregate; that is, it is entered into our database, where we can use it to generate overall reports on our visitors, but not reports about individual visitors. We also place a small file known as a “cookie” on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie may contain information that allows us to track your path through our Website and to determine whether you have visited us before. However, unless you register with us, it contains no personally identifiable information that would allow us to identify you. Cookies cannot be used to read data off of your hard drive, and cannot retrieve information from any other cookies created by other Websites. We use cookies in this manner to help us understand how visitors use our site, and to help us to improve our site. You may refuse to accept a cookie from us by following the procedures specific to your Web browser. Although you may do so, you may find that your browser reacts strangely when visiting not only our Website, but other Websites as well. Since cookies don’t provide us with any information from which we can identify you, we suggest you allow us to place one on your computer. If you visit our site by “clicking-through” from a site operated by one of our partners, and you have registered with that partner, then certain information about you that you have provided to that partner may be transmitted to us. You should review the privacy policy of the website from which you reached our site in order to determine what information was collected and how you agreed that our partner could use that information. Regardless of what information was transmitted to us, we don’t keep it unless you register with us. If you do, we will collect personal information from those users who choose to register them on our site in addition to the non-personal information described above. That personal information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, travel preferences, passport number, user name and password. The information we collect may vary, but we only collect the information that you manually enter into our forms. We may store all or some of that information in a cookie files on your hard drive, so that our system will recognize you each time you visit our site. In that way, we can save your preferences from visit to visit and present you with a customized Website, without requiring you to log into our site every time you visit. To improve services and enhance personalization, we may periodically obtain information about you from other independent third-party sources and add it to your registration information. Additionally, authorized personnel may update your registration information to accurately reflect any new information included in communications received from you. If you visit our site by “clicking-through” from a site operated by one of our partners, and you have registered with that partner, then certain information about you that you have provided to that partner may be transmitted to us. You should review the privacy policy of the Website from which you reached our site in order to determine what information was collected and how you agreed that our partner could use that information. We may or may not retain that information; if we do, then we will only use it in accordance with our privacy policy, regardless of the policy of the partner site from which you came to us. If you reach our site through one of our partners (whether or not you have registered with our partner), and you choose to register with us, we may be required to give our partner some or all of your registration information. We will only do so in accordance with this policy, but we cannot control how our partner uses the information. If you have questions about our partner’s privacy policy, you should review their policy before providing information to us. You can ensure that the personal information you provide to us is not shared with our partners (except in accordance with this policy), by visiting us directly instead of clicking-through from any partner.
Disclosure of your personal information:
Bluelime Holidays does not sell or rent any personal information to any
third party, other than our partners, as discussed in this policy. We may
aggregate personal information from all of our users and provide that
information in the aggregate to other parties, including advertisers, for
marketing and promotional purposes. However, if we do so, that information
will not be in a form that will allow any third party to identify you
personally. We may share some of your personally identifiable information
with our subsidiaries and sister companies around the world that are
committed to providing you with a comprehensive array of travel packages and
services to meet your travel needs. Sharing this information allows us to
better understand the ways in which our various product and service
offerings can assist travelers. It also enables us to provide you with
information about travel opportunities in which you might be interested. We
do not place restrictions on the use of personal information by our
subsidiaries, or affiliates but they will treat it at least as protectively
as they treat information they obtain from their other users. They also will
comply with applicable laws governing the transmission of promotional
communications, and give you an opportunity in any such email that they send
to choose not to receive such promotional e-mail messages in the future. We
also may share your personal information with third-parties specifically
engaged by Bluelime Holidays to provide services such as Airlines, Hotels,
Ground Handlers, Insurance Companies, Product Companies and advertising
agencies, in which case we will require those parties to agree to use any
such personally-identifiable data solely for the purpose of providing the
specified services to you. We may also use the information to provide to
government agencies like RBI, Banks etc as per the laws of the country. As
you might expect, Bluelime Holidays must cooperate with legal authorities,
and may in some circumstances be required to disclose personally
identifiable information in response to requests from law enforcement
authorities, or in response to a subpoena or other legal process. We don’t
expect this to happen, but if it does, we will provide only the information
required. In other words, we will not simply turn over our database in
response to a specific legal requirement. We also may share your information
in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger,
consolidation, or asset sale, and in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
