To enhance your experience and meet your needs, we strive to anticipate what you may require. We collect personal information in several ways when you visit our Sites or use our services:

We will store this information to facilitate future reservations. If you send us comments via the “Email Us” feature on our websites, we will allow you to include your contact information, although you can also choose to remain anonymous. If you create an account on our website, we will ask for basic contact information to streamline future online reservations. We also conduct market research to better anticipate your needs.

For example, if we do not have your current email address, we may obtain it from another company so we can keep your account up-to-date, but only if that company has the right to share your information.
**Information Sent to Us by Your Browser**: Like most commercial websites, we collect information that is automatically sent to us by your web browser when you access our sites. This information typically includes the IP address of your internet service provider, the type of operating system you use, and the type of browser you have. The information we receive depends on your browser settings. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information it sends or how to change your settings. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our sites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. The information provided by your browser does not personally identify you. However, we may review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network. If we suspect criminal activity, we may share our server logs—which contain visitors' IP addresses—with the appropriate investigative authorities, who could use that information to trace and identify individuals. Additionally, if you access this site through an email we have sent you or if you have created a user profile during one of your visits, we may link the information provided by your browser to information in our records that identifies you personally.
**Information Collected Using Cookies**: Like many commercial websites, we use "cookies." A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard disk by a web server. Cookies cannot be used to install programs or deliver viruses to your computer. We may use session cookies to assign a randomly generated unique identification number to your computer. A session cookie expires after you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site—which pages they visit, which links they click, and how long they stay on each page. We analyze this information, known as "clickstream data," to better understand our visitors' and members' interests and needs, and to improve the content and functionality of our site and programs. Each time you visit our site, our web server will recognize your cookie. By assigning your computer a persistent, unique identifier, we can create a database of your previous choices and preferences. If these choices or preferences need to be collected again, we can automatically provide them, saving you time and effort. Assigning your computer a persistent, unique identifier also helps us maintain an accurate count of how many people visit our site, how often they return, how their use of our site varies over time, and the effectiveness of our promotional efforts. If you access this site through an email we have sent you or if you have created a user profile during one of your visits, we may link the information provided by our cookies to information in our records that identifies you personally. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site solely for traffic measurement purposes. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by www.travelleaders.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
