OUR PRIVACY POLICY
COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated
by Bali Villas Holidays. Your privacy on the Internet
is of the utmost importance to us. At Bali Villas Holidays
we want to make your experience online both satisfying and
safe.
Because we gather certain
types of information about our users, we feel you should
fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the
capture and use of that information. This privacy policy
discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
USE OF INFORMATION
The definition of the Information
Bali Villas Holidays gathers and keeps track of is as follows:
Bali Villas Holidays gathers
two types of information about users:
 |
Information
that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to email a friend, and from participation
in polls and surveys; |
 |
Bali
Villas Holidays gathers information through aggregated
tracking data derived mainly by tallying page views
throughout our sites. This information allows us to
better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help
us better understand the demographics of our audience.
Under no circumstances does Bali Villas Holidays divulge
any information about an individual user to a third
party. |
GATHERING OF INFORMATION
Bali Villas Holidays Gathers User Information
In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which
require some type of voluntary submission of personal information
by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Bali Villas
Holidays gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily
subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter
that points users to the subscription management page. Users
can also unsubscribe to the newsletter at the time of registration.
2. "E-mail this
to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link,
page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail
this to a friend". The user must provide their email
address, as well as that of the recipient. This information
is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of
course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The
information is not used for any other purpose.
3. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily
share their opinions with other users and see what our audience
thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses
to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any
particular user. Bali Villas Holidays may use a system to
"tag" users after they have voted, so they can
vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
4. Surveys
Bali Villas Holidays may occasionally conduct user surveys
to better target our content to our audience. We never share
any of this information about specific individuals with
any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the USA's Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly
request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
USAGE TRACKING
Bali Villas Holidays tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information
with data about individual users. Bali Villas Holidays does
break down overall usage statistics according to a user's
domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this
information from the browser string (information contained
in every user's browser).
Bali Villas Holidays sometimes
tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in
our Search function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall.
This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in
the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does
not contain Personal Information although it will enable
us to relate your use of this site to information that you
have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or
read cookie files created by other sites. Bali Villas Holidays
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
above). Our system delivers a one-time cookie to better
track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by
turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser
to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the
warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to participate actively in polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Bali Villas Holidays uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience in our network
of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized
elements on the sites or to better prepare future content
based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information
that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls,
surveys, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers
on a regular schedule and occasionally send out special
editions when we think subscribers might be particularly
interested in something we are doing. Bali Villas Holidays
never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers, or partners.
We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service
for you.
We will not disclose any information about any individual
user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or
the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Bali Villas Holidays uses the above-described information
to tailor our content to suit your needs and help us better
understand our audience's demographics. This is essential
to keeping our service free. We will not share information
about individual users with any third party, except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect
the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Bali Villas Holidays operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard firewall and password protection systems.
Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals
have access to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
 |
Opting
not to register to receive our electronic newsletters. |
 |

not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally
identifiable information from our users. |
