THE SUMMARY
The Discover France! Travel Boutique — in affiliation with TravelNow — is in the travel business, not the spying business. We will not ask you for information that does not have a purpose, and we will not require information to be disclosed that is not absolutely necessary. As our provider of travel reservations services and their associated technology, TravelNow is the sole owner of any personal and credit card information collected for the purpose of booking your airline tickets, car rentals, and hotel accommodations on this site. TravelNow will not sell your personally identifiable information to others; however, your e-mail address may be forwarded to DiscoverFrance.net for the purposes of record-keeping and occasional news bulletins. Whether you travel the Web or travel the world, both DiscoverFrance.net and TravelNow want you to always be safe and secure!

THE DETAILS
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. This notice shall apply to all information TravelNow collects or that is submitted by the user on the TravelNow Affiliate website operated by DiscoverFrance.net. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

Use of Customer Information
TravelNow is the sole owner of the information collected on this travel site. We will not sell or rent this information to others in ways that differ from what is disclosed in this statement.

General Information — What We Collect and Why

• TravelNow may include information about your visit in collective or aggregated data that does not identify you specifically. For example, we may tell our advertisers or investors the number of site visitors or the most popular vacation destinations.
• Our server recognizes domain names and the pages visited. This data is gathered in an aggregate manner for quality control and improvement of our site.
• TravelNow does not market to children, nor do we collect personal information about children at this site.

Individual Information — What we Collect and Why

• Your name, e-mail address, physical address, phone & fax numbers, and credit card number are necessary to ensure we are able to make and confirm your reservation. We do not share this personal information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete your reservation or product order.
• Your contact information is needed in order to notify you in the event of any processing difficulties or unforeseen circumstances fulfilling your reservation or product order. In some cases, paper tickets may need to be mailed to you. The more easily we can contact you, the better we can serve you.
• TravelNow may use the information you provide about yourself in order to make the TravelNow booking engine and web pages as user-friendly as possible. We want to know how to better serve you, but do not want to invade your life! We may ask you for more details about your travel interests. In the future, this information may be used to help DiscoverFrance.net and TravelNow make more customized travel recommendations — including destinations — and to remember your airline and hotel preferences. However, this information will always be optional.

Surveys — What We Collect and Why

• From time to time, TravelNow conducts voluntary customer surveys, which may ask questions about broad background information and customer preferences. This survey information is completely optional and you are under no obligation to be a part of any survey. The information TravelNow collects is used to better serve all our customers, by helping TravelNow determine their travel needs and to improve the user interface of this site.
• Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include demographic information such as: age, gender, approximate household income, how you travel, how you make your reservations, and why you travel.
• Your contact information may be required if a prize is to be awarded to survey respondents, either at random or individually. This will enable us to contact you, to notify you of details regarding your prize.
