APPLE STUDENT TOURS PRIVACY POLICY


When registering for travel on our website, APPLE STUDENT TOURS (APPLE TOURS) is required to collect personal information about you and the designated traveler.  We collect specific information such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone numbers, and credit card information.  If you or your child register for travel, we need to create a complete traveler profile in order to provide our services.  To complete the profile, APPLE TOURS may request the following additional information: date of birth, passport number, gender, school, and other general information such as specific needs or requests.  APPLE TOURS may use this information to contact you about other information, services or products pertaining to the trip, such as cancellation insurance.  APPLE TOURS will not make changes to your personal information.  If you would like to make changes to the information provided, please login to your MYTOUR account on our website or contact APPLE TOURS.

You will setup a MYTOUR account upon registering, which provides access to change or update your travel profile.  You will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login name and user password, and will be fully responsible for all activities concerning your MYTOUR account.  Please notify APPLE TOURS immediately of any unauthorized use of your MYTOUR account.

APLE TOURS’ services are offered in conjunction with the services of other companies such as airlines, hotels, and tour operators.  As a result, APPLE TOURS may provide the information from you to those other companies and service providers as a necessary part of arranging various aspects of the trip.  APPLE TOURS may also provide the information provided from you to companies unrelated to the travel services to be rendered, unless you inform us that you do not wish such personal information to be shared.

When a child under the age of 13 attempts to register with APPLE TOURS, we ask for a parent or guardian to provide consent before collecting any registration information.  When information pertaining to someone under the age of 13 is provided to APPLE TOURS, whether directly from the parent or guardian, or with consent from the parent or guardian, APPLE TOURS may retain this information if necessary to provide travel services or to comply with applicable laws or regulations, for safety reasons, or as otherwise necessary for us to provide services.  APPLE TOURS does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 13 without their parent or guardian’s consent.  Upon discovering your child has provided APPLE TOURS with personal information online without your consent or knowledge, you may request the information be deleted by contacting us at sales@apple-tours.com

APPLE TOURS may use the information provided to us to: a) book travel; b) bill you for your travel services; c) send offers for additional services (unless you have notified APPLE TOURS that you do not wish to receive those additional offers; e) provide travel confirmations, updates, and changes to the reservations; as well as other uses related to your travel experience with APPLE TOURS.  Additionally, APPLE TOURS may disclose your personal information if requested or required to do so from a court, governmental, administrative, or law enforcement agency, or when APPLE TOURS deems it necessary to protect the rights or property, or interests of APPLE TOURS or its customers. 

If you provide credit card information to us to apply toward purchases, the information is transmitted in an encrypted format (secure socket layer encryption).  Please note, however, that data transmitted via Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, we cannot warrant the security of any information transmitted to us, and you agree to do so at your own risk.
