the right to change or modify our Privacy Policy at any time with or without notice.
MyBusinessTravel.com is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We do not rent

ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
If you have any questions or concerns over the MyBusinessTravel.com Privacy Policy,
please feel free to contact privacy@mybusinesstravel.com.
By accessing a MyBusinessTravel.com publication or by subscribing to a MyBusinessTravel.com
newsletter, you agree to our current Terms of Use.
Site Registration
MyBusinessTravel.com's registration form may, in the future, require users to provide
basic contact and demographic information. We use or may use your contact information (such as e-mail address) from the registration
form to send you newsletters and occasional information about our services and partners, inform you if you are the potential
winner of a contest or promotion, personalize your experience with MyBusinessTravel.com, or investigate cases of suspected
fraud or abuse. You may opt-out of receiving future communications; see the Opting-Out of Further Communications section below.
In the future, in order to customize your experience with our e-mail newsletters,
we may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from MyBusinessTravel.com if your computer supports such capabilities.
Clicking on a link in a MyBusinessTravel.com newsletter may also be tracked on a per user basis to allow us to present content,
which closely matches your interests. Demographic and profile data (such as state, zip code, age, or gender) may be used to
customize your experience at our site or in our e-mail newsletters, showing you content and advertising that may best suit
your needs. This information is shared with advertisers and other third parties on an aggregate basis only. Individual
user click behavior is never shared with third parties.
If, in the future, you enter MyBusinessTravel.com via a reward or incentive program,
MyBusinessTravel.com may share your e-mail address with the program through which you entered MyBusinessTravel.com to ensure
you are credited with your incentive.
You may, in the future, also register for MyBusinessTravel.com and/or specific MyBusinessTravel.com
newsletters at web sites operated by third parties. These third parties may share contact, demographic or profile data that
you voluntarily provide during the registration process with MyBusinessTravel.com. MyBusinessTravel.com does or may in the
future use this information in the same manner as information collected directly by MyBusinessTravel.com. This Privacy Policy
does not bind sites that collect information on behalf of MyBusinessTravel.com, and MyBusinessTravel.com is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
To better serve you, we may also store information you present to us via e-mail or
telephone communications with MyBusinessTravel.com's Customer Service Department. This information is or may be used in the
same manner as information directly collected using MyBusinessTravel.com's registration form. We may also use information
you provide us via e-mail or telephone to pursue the matter for which you contacted us. MyBusinessTravel.com also may obtain
information from you in our online forums. This information may not be disclosed except as consistent with Terms of Use.
In order to better communicate with registered users about their registration status,
MyBusinessTravel.com may acquire information about users from third-party sources, including but not limited to a user's mailing
address. The information collected will only be shared, if at all, on an aggregate basis only with third parties.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often
receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from MyBusinessTravel.com if your computer supports such capabilities.
Data Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
MyBusinessTravel.com may use third parties
to perform certain tasks such as package delivery and e-mail list collection. Personal
information may be provided to these agents as is necessary to perform their functions.
MyBusinessTravel.com partners with third-party companies to provide services to MyBusinessTravel.com
users. When you sign up for one of these services, the information you provide in signing up for the service is shared with
the third party and is protected in accordance with the third party's Privacy Policy.
In the future, MyBusinessTravel.com may host content on behalf of certain other web
site partners. These pages will be identified as they have the navigation of the partner site. Information collected on these
pages may be shared with the partner site. These pages, and any information shared with the partner site, are subject to the
Privacy Policy of the partner site.
Occasionally, MyBusinessTravel.com may participate in reward programs. In order to
properly credit you for your reward, we may share basic customer information with the reward-giver.
Sweepstakes, Online Surveys, and Order Forms
MyBusinessTravel.com occasionally runs sweepstakes, hosts online surveys, or uses
order forms on our web site in which we ask for contact and demographic information. Participation in sweepstakes and surveys
and usage of order forms is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
We use or may use your contact information (such as e-mail address) from your sweepstakes entry, survey registration, or order
form to inform you if you are the potential winner of a contest or promotion, personalize your experience with MyBusinessTravel.com,
send you newsletters (should you opt-in for these newsletters) and occasional information about our services or partners,
or investigate cases of suspected fraud. You may opt-out of receiving future communications; see the Opting-Out of Further
Communications section below.
Demographic and profile data (such as zip code, age, or gender) may be used to customize
your experience at our site, showing you content and advertising that may best suit your needs. This information is shared
with advertisers and other third parties on an aggregate basis only. In the event that MyBusinessTravel.com partners with
a third party to run a sweepstakes, MyBusinessTravel.com may share demographic and profile data with such third party only
as indicated in the official sweepstakes rules.
Tell-a-Friend and E-mail This Deal
MyBusinessTravel.com may, from time to time, offer services to allow our users
to send information about our site to their friends. If a user elects to use such service for informing a friend about our
site, or elects to use our other services to inform a friend about information on our site, we will ask them for the friend's
e-mail address. We will automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit our site. We store this information
for the purpose of sending this one-time e-mail and investigating suspected fraud.

the age of 13. Children under 13 may not participate in any online activities on the MyBusinessTravel.com site.
