This policy describes Benjamin & Brothers, LLC d/b/a Reservations.com’s (“Reservations.com”) practices regarding personally identifiable information and data. This policy applies to data received from our websites, applications, email, and text messages, call center, and social media accounts (the “Service”). When you use the Service, you agree to the terms in this policy.
If you enroll in our R.Club loyalty program, you agree that this policy applies in addition to the terms in our Terms of Service concerning the program, which supplement this policy.

Except as specifically defined in this Privacy Policy, terms defined in the Terms of Service shall have the same meaning herein.
Service information: When you use the Service, we may collect information from you. Some of it may be personal information. This information can include, but is not limited to, search history, IP address, screen resolution, browser used, operating system and settings, access times and referring URL. If you are using a mobile device, we may also collect data that identifies your device, your settings and your location.
Booking information: If you book a reservation via the Service, we may need additional information from you. This information can include your name (and the traveler’s name, if different), age, birthday, gender, passport number, redress control number, email address, telephone number, credit card information, billing address, itinerary and frequent flyer details.
Consumer support: If you choose to contact consumer support, for example, through our call center or the messaging services on our websites, we will collect any inquires, complaint or other information that you may submit to our support team.
Promotional information: If you choose to participate in a sweepstake, contests or similar campaign, we will collect any information you provide in relation to such activity such as photos, images, captions or other content, in accordance with the terms provided at that time.
When you give us personal information, you are telling us that the information is true, accurate, complete and current. You are also telling us that you have the authorization to provide it to us.
Personal information you give to us: We collect your personal information directly from you. For example, when you provide us your personal information when you book a reservation, contact our consumer support, or participate in a contest or sweepstake.
Personal information we collect passively: We also collect your personal information passively. For example, we collect information about you over time and across different Web sites when you visit this platform. We also use tracking tools like cookies and beacons. To learn more about these tools and how to control them, https://www.reservations.com/contact.
Features of our Service may make use of your device attributes and settings that will allow us to determine your physical location. Such technologies may include IP address mapping, WiFi, GPS signals, cell tower positioning or other technologies. We use this information to enhance and personalize your experience and provide you with offers and services that may be of interest to you.
For example, we may help you find your closest hotel based on your current location. Reservations.com does not have control over your device settings, but we do recommend enabling location services on your device so you can take advantage of the location based features and functionality offered.
Personal information we receive from third parties: We may sometimes collect your personal information from third parties. This can include when you log in using a third party platform, such as Facebook, or when booking a reservation through our call center. In addition, we also integrate third party software (i.e. Google’s Invisible CAPTCHA) that collects information about users for security reasons.
Your personal information may be used in the following ways:
Improving our services: To provide you and improve our Service and services, to better understand the users of our Service and services, and to protect our property and to prevent damage to them.

Reservations.com may collect and use aggregated non-personal information to improve the Service or for any other reason, at its sole discretion.

Our servers and data centers are located in the U.S, and our service providers may be located there or in other countries. By providing us personal information, you agree that your personal information may be transferred to and stored in these countries. These countries may have different and/or less stringent privacy/data protection and data security rules than those of your own country. As a result, your personal information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those countries according to laws in those countries. Subject to the applicable laws in such other countries and their jurisdiction over data held by Reservations.com, we will provide the necessary safeguards to maintain protections of your personal information. Reservations.com has a security program intended to keep the personal information stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access and misuse.
Our systems are configured with data encryption, or scrambling technologies and firewalls constructed to industry standards.

In addition, information collected by Google’s Invisible CAPTCHA is held in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. We will use all commercially reasonable methods to keep personal information securely in our files and systems. With current technology, however, we cannot guarantee the security of your data from all possible attacks or intrusions on our servers or guarantee the security of your data as it travels over the Internet. Thus, you hereby release Reservations.com from liability for any such possible attacks or intrusions that might compromise the security of your data.
We retain your personal information for communications related to your booking, analytical purposes, as well as record keeping for as long as you have an account with Reservations.com.

We may modify this policy at any time and without prior notice. We will notify you of major changes to how we use your personal information prior to implementing them. We may notify you about such a material change by email or prominent notice on our website. By using our services and Service after we post these changes, you indicate you accept them.
Certain jurisdictions provide their citizens with additional rights relating to data. Although the laws in these jurisdictions may not apply to Reservations.com, we will, where reasonably possible, provide the following services for users in jurisdictions where such rights apply:
We may request proof of your identity before acting upon any request. We may not be able to allow you to access certain personal information in some cases. For example if your personal information is connected with personal information of other persons, or for legal reasons. In such cases, we will provide you with an explanation why you cannot obtain this information.

Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.
