We respect your privacy!

Privacy Policy

CaliforniaTravelExpert.com is dedicated to protecting your privacy as you use our web site. Our policy is that no personal information will be collected about you unless you choose to provide it and that any personal information which you provide us will be safeguarded and not shared with others for any reason. If during your visit to our site you only browse, read pages or download material, we can not collect any information that will identify you personally, or determine your e-mail address.

We do not give, sell, or otherwise distribute your personal information or e-mail address to anyone, unless you specifically give us permission.

Our Web server automatically recognizes the domain name and Internet Protocol (IP) address of each visitor to our site. An IP address is a code that identifies a particular computer on the Internet. Every computer or network that's connected to the Internet has an IP address. Like most major sites, we collect and analyze that information to help us improve the site for our visitors. This helps us determine which pages you visit, how long you stay and the site you visited immediately beforehand. Your IP address is used to help identify your computer to gather broad demographic information. We provide forms and links in places throughout the site for you to send comments and ideas, to ask for more information and to report problems you may experience on our site. Even if you e-mail us through one of our response forms on the site, we cannot determine your e-mail address unless you include it in your response.

If you post comments on our site, we will not identify you personally, and certainly will not disclose your e-mail address. We safeguard this information and do not share it with others for any reason. We welcome your e-mail messages and suggestions of ways in which we can improve the site. We will use any personal information you send us only to respond to your message. Please note that any suggestions, comments or ideas you submit to us will become the property of CaliforniaTravelExpert.com and can be used by us for any purpose.

Children and privacy
No information should be submitted to or posted to or on our web sites by users under the age of 17 years without the consent of their parent or guardian. CaliforniaTravelExpert.com and our associated web sites do not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless disclosed during collection. We operate our site in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.

Comments
Please remember that information posted on our comments sections becomes public information. We suggest using caution when posting. Users under the age of 18 should be especially careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using chat rooms or message boards. Users of message boards must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online.

Cookies
CaliforniaTravelExpert.com also uses "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that most major Web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow CaliforniaTravelExpert.com to measure activity on our websites to improve your user experience. For example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to visit various member-only parts of our web sites without having to re-register. Cookies are used by CaliforniaTravelExpert.com to measure activity on our websites to make improvements and updates based on which areas are popular and which are not. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except for personal information voluntarily provided by you (i.e., during membership registration or a contest), CaliforniaTravelExpert.com does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Non-Personal Information

In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The information collected is used solely for internal review and not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
