How we gather information from users:
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For
example, you maybe asked to provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase.You may provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms,
and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Websites, Caribbean Cruiseletter
also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic
tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example,we may log the name
of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you
and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store
your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable
to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features according
to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect:
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you)
may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about
your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users
to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited
most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again,
this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about
you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected by Caribbean Cruiseletter
to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms and Conditions and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Caribbean Cruiseletter and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Caribbean Cruiseletter may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of
sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with
other companies or businesses. In such transactions,user information may be
among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may
owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.

advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
Caribbean Cruiseletter does not control the use of this technology by third parties
or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies
