Privacy Policy Statement for CM TRAVEL
Revised and Updated June 5, 2020

This web site was created by and is managed/owned by:
RUSSELL WATTS

We can be contacted by e-mail or phone using the contact information found on the web site contact page. We may collect the following information from visitors to our Web site:  Domain name and aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, and other visitor site navigation information. We do not collect or make any information about those who access our web site available to any other organizations.

Disclaimers:

Bots from search engines or other entities may collect information from our site (without the express permission of CM TRAVEL).  Web page visitor information collected by bots may be used for advertising, marketing, or for other unknown purposes.  Such bot-collected information could be shared with others without the prior consent of CM TRAVEL.  This type of activity is a common quasi-legal online practice which can be used to access nearly any commercial web site. Please note most online travel agencies competing with CM TRAVEL, and all large travel companies like airlines, cruise lines, tour companies, car rental companies and hotel chains… all commonly use bots to track visits to other online travel sites.  In addition, large travel resellers like Expedia and PriceLine not only track client visits to other web sites, they also track visits to other sites by anyone who just visits their web site.  Nearly all of these companies store the tracking information they collect in long term memory… both for internal use by affiliated companies, and for resale to online marketers.  CM TRAVEL is one of the very few online travel companies that does not track consumer visits to other sites, and does not share any information we may collect with any online marketer nor any other companies.

email Information Collected:

The e-mail address of those who choose to communicate with us through our web site e-mail address will be collected… including travel and other personal information volunteered by the consumer (such as information requests, survey information and/or site registrations), name and address, telephone number, fax number and payment information if submitted (e.g. credit card number information and billing address).  Please note:  CM TRAVEL asks site visitors to never provide payment information in any type of e-mail communication (CM TRAVEL strongly discourages this practice and asks clients to use the separate secure payment information web site created by CM TRAVEL  for this express purpose).

How we may use information we do collect…

The limited information we do collect from clients may be:
  • used to improve the content and functionality of our Web site;
  • shared as may be required with vendors to enable CM TRAVEL to access associated travel product and service information/availability during creation of client travel proposals and/or bookings;
  • shared with vendors or others – to plan, arrange, and ticket client approved travel;
  • used by CM TRAVEL to directly contact consumers for marketing purposes.
The information we collect will never be sold to other 3rd party organizations or individuals for purposes of any type.  Nor will this information be shared with others – except as specifically described herein. Regarding cookies: We may use cookies to record session information, such as, but not limited to, items that consumers add to their shopping cart and other similar information, and/or so we may attempt to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly seeing the same rotating banner ads when they visit our web site, or for other reasons which will enhance future user experience on our web site.. If you do not want to receive marketing e-mails from CM TRAVEL in the future, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at the provided address requesting your name be removed from our e-mail marketing list. We do not knowingly make our customer e-mail list or any other customer provided information available to any other person or organization for marketing or other purposes. Be advised, 3rd party travel vendors (linked to or from this web site) through whom our clients may choose to independently purchase their own travel, may use the client information they may collect in ways and for purposes not under the control of CM TRAVEL. If you supply us with your postal address on-line you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services offered by our company or affilliated travel vendors, or information regarding CM TRAVEL upcoming events or activities. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please let us know by e-mailing us at the provided address. You may receive mailings and e-mails from other companies that result from your address and e-mail information being shared with said companies if they required CM TRAVEL to provide such information as part of the booking, ticketing, or travel planning process with those companies.  These mailings and e-mails may only be stopped at your request if you contact said 3rd party companies directly (e.g. airlines, hotels, car rental companies). Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers on-line may receive telephone contact from us with information regarding new products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive promotional or marketing telephone calls, please let us know by sending us e-mail at the provided address with your name and phone number. We do not partner with or have business or personal relationships with any ad server companies. From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will post those policy changes in our web site privacy policies to notify you of these changes, and to provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back to this page on our Web site periodically to insure you have the latest available information. Consumers may actively intervene to prevent their information from being used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected by e-mailing us at the provided address requesting specific added limitations be applied regarding the use of their information. In the course of doing routine business we may request, securely collect, and securely store for current and future use any of the following:  financial information (e.g., credit card account information), unique identifier information (e.g., customer number or password information), transaction information (e.g., dates on which customers made purchases, as well as the amounts and types of purchases), transaction required contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number), and other personal information we may require to plan, book, and ticket travel.  Consumers may request an appointment to access and personally review said stored personal information by mailing a request to do so to CM TRAVEL at the above address. Upon request, we offer clients the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in contact information, financial information, unique identifiers, transaction information, and any other personal information we have collected about them. Consumers can request this information be corrected by contacting us in writing by e-mail, FAX, or US mail.

About DATA SECURITY:

We have significant security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from clients… whether by FAX, e-mail, through this web site or on other web sites, or web pages we own or operate.  Personal information we collect is normally stored only off line in hard copy, and/or on a web isolated computer (or drive), or stored on a CM TRAVEL remote secure server.  To provide the highest level of virtual security reasonably possible, CM TRAVEL systematically maintains the latest OS and software updates, and uses added advanced security measures on all devices we use. Whenever possible, for reasons of privacy and security, financial transactions requiring payment of client funds directly to or from CM TRAVEL are transacted electronically using PayPal and/or a vendor provided recognized similarly secure payment process. All client data input collected using designated CM TRAVEL SECURE online e-FORMS is subject to the following ONLINE DATA INPUT AND DATA STORAGE SECURITY STANDARDS: Minimum 128-bit SSL encryption.
Secure data is stored only on servers located in a USA High Security SOC-2 Type II Facility.
Secure data can only be accessed by CM TRAVEL using a unique account electronic key required to access data on our secure server.
Highly sensitive personal and financial information which is part of stored private client data is deleted from our secure server immediately after each planning, booking, and/or travel process has been completed.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS:

Like the government and other businesses large and small that access the internet, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute security for client information collected or shared since said information may be gathered and stolen by professional internet hackers from nearly anyone while being processed, stored, or sent via external servers… at any time. The security and privacy of user information directly communicated between the user and any 3rd party vendor referenced on (or linked to) the CM TRAVEL web site is the sole responsibility of the user and the 3rd party vendor the user has directly communicated with, or directly done business with.  CM TRAVEL has no control over, nor other means, to insure adequate security and privacy standards are in place for direct communications between a user and any 3rd party vendor the user may choose to directly communicate or do business with.
