Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Visual Departures, Ltd., we understand the importance of maintaining one's privacy online. This page clearly explains how your information is collected and used. We link to this page from multiple locations on our website, wherever personally-identifiable information is collected.

Information We Collect

Depending on your usage of our website, we will collect certain personally-identifiable information. We only collect the minimum of personal information necessary to facilitate your usage of the site. We offer email mailing list subscriptions, the ability to make comments on articles, and online ordering of some products. Information you provide through each of this processes can range from your email address, to your home address, to your credit card information.

How We Use This Information

Online Orders

Third party sharing/collection is kept to minimum, only enough to fulfill your order (billing, shipping).

Email Mailing Lists

Nobody likes getting junk mail, so we require a "double opt-in" from you before we will add you to any of our email lists. We use a trusted third-party email delivery system with privacy commitments similar to our own. All our mailings include an unsubscribe link, and we comply with all opt-out requests promptly.

Social Networking

Visual Departures maintains a presence on third-party social networking sites (Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) Please refer to the privacy policies on those sites to understand how your information may be used in those arenas.

Other Uses

Other than these circumstances, we never use or share your personally identifiable information. We do use non-identifying and aggregate information to improve our website and share with advertisers (in the same way a newspaper would identify its circulation to its advertising clients.) We do not share your personal email address or other personal information with these advertisers.

Data Security

Your data is stored on secured servers and is only accessible to authorized system administrators. If you use the portions of this website involving e-commerce or email mailing lists, your security is assured by the payment processor's encrypted, high-security systems. Your financial data is never stored or transmitted through www.visualdepartures.com.
