What
information do we collect?
We collect information from you when you provide feedback, submit
a contact us form, and send or respond to any other type of
communication such as e-mail.
Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enhance your experience
and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites.
Please refer to the "Do
we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies
and how we use them.
We also receive and store click-stream data and other information
about visits to our websites which may be combined with personal
information you have provided. This information is used to analyze
and improve the website experience. For more information see the "Do
we use 'cookies'?" section below.
How
do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you in the following
ways:
- To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver
the type of content in which you are most interested.
- To allow us to better service you in responding to your
customer service requests.
- To administer a promotion, survey or other site feature.
If you have provided your email address, we may send you periodic
e-mails, to follow up on your inquiry specifically, or to inform you

How
do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the
safety of your personal information. Your personal information is
contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a
limited number of persons who have special access rights to such
systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
Do
we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider
transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if
you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to
recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
For instance, we use cookies to help us understand your preferences
based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to
provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us
compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so
that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the
future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us
in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers
are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf
except to help Southwest Vacation Planner conduct and improve its
business. These companies may use cookies to gather anonymous data
about our visitors on Southwest Vacation Planner's behalf. They do
not collect or have access to personally identifiable information
like email, credit card numbers, phone numbers, or names.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie
is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do
this through your browser settings. Each browser is different, so
look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify
your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to
features that make your site experience more efficient and some of
our services may not function properly.
Do
we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties
your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with
advance notice. The term "outside parties" does not include
Southwest Vacation Planner wholly-owned companies. It also does not
include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in
operating our website, conducting Southwest Vacation Planner's
business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep
this information confidential. We may also release your information
when we believe release is necessary to comply with the law, enforce
our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or
safety.
However, aggregate non-personally identifiable visitor
information (such as web site traffic statistics) may be provided to
other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
How
can you opt-out, remove, or modify information that you have
provided to us?
To modify your e-mail communication preferences or completely
opt-out of receiving e-mail from us, please let us know by contacting
us.
