Introduction. Santos
VIP, LLC, has a strong commitment to providing
excellent service to all of our customers,
including respecting their concerns about privacy.
We understand that visitors to our website
may have questions about whether and how this
website collects and uses information. Accordingly,
we have prepared this statement to inform you
of the privacy principles that govern www.santoslimo.com & www.santosviplimo.com
Browsing. Visitors who browse this website do so on an
anonymous basis. We have not configured this
website to collect any information from your
computer without your input. This means that,
unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide
us with information, we will not know your
identity, your e-mail address, or any other
information identifiable to you.
Information. When
we need to collect information from you, we
will ask you to voluntarily supply us with
the information we need. For example, if you
would like to make a reservation for one of
our limousines or sedans, we will ask you for
information such as name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address, credit card type, credit
card number, expiration date and vehicle preference
to process your reservation. We will use your
e-mail address to send a confirmation and,
if necessary, might use the other information
to contact you for help to process the reservation.
The same type of information would be requested
to complete a gift certificate transaction.
For our e-mail community, we will use your
name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address to process your subscription and to
also unsubscribe from the mailing list. When
we ask you for personal data when making a
reservation or purchasing a gift certificate,
including your name, address and credit card
data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets
Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL
enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This ensures
that your information is encrypted as it travels
over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled
before any such information is transmitted
from your computer. You will know you are in
secure mode when the padlock icon in the lower
right hand corner of the computer screen appears
in the locked position. In addition, when accessing
a secure server, the first characters of the
site address will change from "http" to "https." After
information reaches Santos VIP Limousine of
New Jersey it is stored on a secure server
that resides behind a firewall that is designed
to block access from outside the company.
We
may also ask you to fill out an online customer
survey, to obtain your suggestions or comments
about your use of Santos VIP Limousine Service
of New Jersey, or for similar purposes. Providing
this information is voluntary.
Internet
Protocol (IP) Address. An IP address
is a number that is automatically assigned
to your computer every time you browse the
Internet. When users request a page from
our site, our servers log the user's current
IP address. We use IP addresses to help diagnose
problems. We do not link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable. Thus, each
user session is anonymous.
Use
of Information. We treat the information
you provide to us as confidential information;
it is, accordingly, subject to our company's

policies regarding protection and use of
confidential information. Because laws applicable
to personal information vary by country,
our hotels or other business operations may
put in place additional measures that vary
depending on the applicable legal requirements.
Information is generally processed and stored
in the United States, in which data protection
laws are not as comprehensive as in the European
Union.
The
gift certificate, e-mail community, survey
and other such non-reservations information
is used only for the purpose for which the
information was collected and is not used for
direct marketing or shared with other companies.
The personal information you provide to us
for making a reservation is made available
to the applicable hotel for the purpose of
meeting your reservation request. If you cancel
your reservation, the information is stored
for record-keeping purposes only and is not
accessed again. After your Santos VIP Limousine
Service of New Jersey trip, the information
you provide may be used for direct marketing
