Privacy Policy
TravelInsuranceRatings.com has created this Privacy Policy in order to set forth the principles governing our information-gathering and dissemination practices, including but not limited to such activities as forums/reviews, chat rooms, product reviews, article commentary, blogs, RSS feeds and newsletters, among other offerings. TravelInsuranceRatings.com has a strong commitment to the privacy of our users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through TravelInsuranceRatings.com and not to information collected offline or to information you may provide to any third-party sites to which TravelInsuranceRatings.com may link, except as expressly provided herein.
Information We Collect
There are two kinds of information that TravelInsuranceRatings.com can obtain about you: “Anonymous Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.”
“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, or information about your usage on TravelInsuranceRatings.com that is used for administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We may collect our users’ IP addresses for such purposes as to help diagnose problems with our servers and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on our behalf.
“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, street address, email address, or telephone number. We collect such information when, for example, you contact us through an online form, subscribe to our email newsletter, and participate in other interactive online activities such as reviews.
In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Use of “Cookies”

Disclosure of Information through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the event that a portion or all of TravelInsuranceRatings.com’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.
