Hotelsbell Privacy Policy
As a Travelbudget.gr and Hotelsbell.com user, you control your travel-planning. We know that you, as a customer, want to remain in control of your personal information as well.
That's why we've provided this Privacy Policy, which describes our policies regarding the collection, use and protection of the personal information of those using the Travelbudget.gr and Hotelsbell.com websites.
Your personal information is collected and contains information such as your name, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address and credit card number, a so called customer profile form.
Be sure that Travelbuget.gr and Hotelsbell.com never give, share, sell or rent customers' personal information to anyone outside our leisure company.
Personal information
When browsing our site, you are not required to provide any personal information unless and until you choose to make a reservation.
We do not knowingly allow the site to be used by any person under the age of 19 (nineteen) and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children (meaning those younger than 14 (fourteen) years of age).
A valid credit card is required to make a reservation on our website.
How we use the personal information
Personal information is not shared by anyone outside the Travelbudget.gr and Hotelsbell.com leisure company.
We share aggregate statistics about our customers, traffic patterns, and reservations with our suppliers and partners, but these statistics do not include any personally identifying information.
When you make a reservation on our site, your personal and credit card information are forwarded to the property in which you have reserved. The property will use this information to process your reservation. A representative of that property or one of our Customer Support representatives may contact you if there is a question about your reservation.
Automatic Logging of Session Data
We automatically log generic information about your computer's connection to the Internet, which we call "session data", that is anonymous and not linked to any personal information. Session data consists of several parts such as IP address, operating system and type of browser software being used and the activities conducted by the user while on our site. An IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet, such as our web servers, know where to send data back to the user, such as the pages of the site the user wishes to view.
We collect session data because it helps us analyze such things as what items visitors are likely to click on most, the way visitors are clicking through the site, how many visitors are surfing to various pages on the site, how long visitors to the site are staying and how often they are visiting. It also helps us diagnose problems with our servers and lets us better administer our systems. Although such information does not identify any visitor personally, it is possible to determine from an IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the approximate geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.
