Privacy Policy

The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: www.chinadiscover.net

What information do we collect and how we use it?

As a custmer of www.chinadiscover.net, we ask you to provide us with some personal information such as your name, email address and phone number in order to access some of our services.

Please provide your full name to us, and ensure the spelling of it.

We need your e-mail address in order to send you confirmation of online bookings

We need your passport and Visa data to obtain airline tickets and hotel bookings, or to apply for travel permits in certain regions in China.

We would use your phone number if we need to contact you urgently (for example if you had made a mistake entering your email address).

We collect, but do not store your credit card information in our database. We only have access to this information when you provide it during a transaction.

We log domain names and/or IP addresses, and browser type for our internal site traffic statistics. IP addresses, etc. are not tied to personally identifiable information.

We request details of affiliate's websites to ensure the suitability of such websites.

This site contains links to other sites. Sites we partner with have the same look and feel as our canton-fair.net site. They use your information only for supplying the service they offer, and may not use your personally identifiable information for anything other than the primary purpose for which the information was collected.

Sharing the information

When you reserve or purchase travel services through www.chinadiscover.net, we provide information about you to our Service Providers. To process your order we will share some of your personally identifiable information with the airline, car rental agency, hotel, or other involved third party. We will provide only the personally identifiable information necessary to ensure the successful fulfilment of your travel arrangements. Also, as an example, the airlines will need name, age, and phone number in case of a cancelled flight, but they may use this information only for contract fulfillment. If you choose to pay with a credit or debit card, we pass your card details to our bank for authorisation of the transaction and for payment.
We do not sell customer names or other private profile information to third parties and have no intention of doing so in the future.

Links

This web site contains links to other websites. We have partnered with some of them. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are 'clicking' to another website. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policy may differ from ours. However, our partnered sites have the same look and feel to ours, and may only use the personally identifiable information collected to fulfill services we have them provide.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology to ensure the privacy of the information provided to us both in the flights booking engine and in the order forms. At no time are the customers debit/credit card details transmitted un-encrypted over the Internet. We also operate behind a firewall to ensure there is no unauthorised access to our systems.

What Is Not Covered By This Privacy Policy?

Except as covered above, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices or policies of any companies or entities that we do not own or control, including links to sites that are not maintained by us, or to people that we do not employ or manage. Because these companies or entities may have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy (or no privacy policy at all), please be sure to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

Site and Service Updates

We may, in our sole discretion, revise this Privacy Policy at any time; all such revisions shall be effective when posted. If we change the way your personal information will be used, we will post an announcement on our homepage. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy in order to keep apprised of our current privacy practices.

Of course, you may always submit concerns regarding our Privacy Statement or our privacy practices to booking@chinatourguide.com. Please reference the privacy policy in your subject line. We will attempt to respond to all reasonable concerns or inquiries within two business days of receipt.
