Third Party Service Providers
As indicated in the previous section of this Privacy Policy, where applicable Orbridge may transfer your Personal Information to Travel Partners, agents, vendors, or third party service providers that administer or provide products, services or information in their own behalf or on our behalf. Because our travel programs take place in multiple jurisdictions, domestic, foreign and maritime, some of these service providers may be located outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside, and your Personal Information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and processed in these other jurisdictions for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might differ from your jurisdiction. While we require Travel Partners, agents, vendors, service providers and affiliates to use your Personal Information only to perform the services they have been retained to provide and take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected in accordance with applicable laws, please be advised that, by using our Sites, your information may be transferred across borders and will be subject to the laws of those other jurisdictions, including lawful requirements to disclose Personal Information to government authorities.
We also may use and disclose your Personal Information to parties connected with the contemplated or actual financing, securitization, insuring, sale or other encumbrance, divestiture or disposal of all or part of our business or assets, including for the purposes of determining whether to proceed with the transaction or fulfilling any records or other reporting requirements to such parties. In the event of any actual transaction involving transfer of ownership or encumbrance, your Personal Information, among other things, may be transferred as part of the transaction.
Consent
You may give your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information in various ways. Your consent can be express (for example, orally, electronically (e.g. by clicking on a “Submit”, “Agree” or other, similar button or function), or on a form you may sign) or implied (for example, when you provide information necessary for a service you have requested). Your consent will be considered given, where notice has been provided to you about our intentions with respect to Personal Information, and you have not withdrawn your consent for an identified purpose, such as by using an “opt out” option. Consent may be given by your authorized representative (such as a legal guardian or a person having a power of attorney).
Generally, by providing us with your Personal Information, we will assume that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such information for the purposes identified or described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
We may be required or permitted under various federal, state and/or foreign statutes or regulations, to collect, use or disclose your information without your consent, for example to comply with a court order, to comply with local, state, federal or foreign regulations or a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency, or to collect a debt owed to us. We reserve the right to co-operate with governmental and regulatory authorities in investigation of improper or unlawful activities, and this may require the disclosure of your Information in our possession or control.
Withdrawal of Consent
You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information at any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice. Note that if you withdraw your consent to certain uses of your Personal Information, we may no longer be able to provide some of our products or services.
To withdraw consent, please email us at GuestServices@orbridge.com and include your full name and mailing address.
Where we have provided or are providing services to you, your consent will be valid for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. You may not be permitted to withdraw consent to certain necessary uses and disclosures, for example, but not limited to, providing travel- or program-related announcements and services, maintaining reasonable business and transaction records and disclosures to government entities as required for us or our Travel Partners to comply with applicable laws.
Marketing Information - Opt Out
We may use your Marketing Information to provide you with additional information on our products or services and may communicate this Marketing Information to our Travel Partners and Unrelated Entities who may use it to provide you with products, services or information they believe you may be interested in.
At any time, if you do not wish your Marketing Information to be used for these purposes, you can choose to no longer receive commercial or promotional e-mail and/or text messages from us and you may express your choice where indicated on the applicable form when using our Sites or click here to opt out. Please note, however, that such a request will only remove you from our list. We are not responsible for the use any Unrelated Entities may make of the information once it has been transferred and you will need to contact that entity to have your information removed from its database.
Your Financial Information only will be used to conclude the transaction or order you have placed. It will not be sold, rented, or otherwise transferred to an Unrelated Entity outside of this purpose, except in the case of a reorganization, merger or acquisition of our units, shares or assets.
Our Security Measures
We will take commercially reasonable measures to secure and store your Information to protect against its loss, misuse or alteration while under our control. We use industry standard security measures when accepting your credit card information during the online ordering process, as well as whenever we ask you to login to any of our online travel or program services. Although we will use such measures, we do not guarantee against the loss, misuse or alteration of any information under our control.
Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, although we will use the noted security measures, we do not guarantee you against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under our control, and you provide Information to us at your own risk. You should always take care with how you handle and disclose your Personal Information and should avoid sending Personal Information through unsecure methods.

These small pieces of program code or “files” reside on your computer hard drive and browser and can be removed. If you desire to remove the technologies you may do so, but this may render our Sites unusable to you.
