Information Collection
When you browse FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com and have not registered, you browse anonymously. Personal information - such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address - is not collected as you browse. FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com does, however, use “cookies” to collect information about how our website is used. Information, such as the server your computer is logged onto, your browser type (for example, Netscape or Internet Explorer) and the pages you view/request are automatically collected and tracked in aggregate.

In order to provide you with our planning resources and other online services, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information including your name, e-mail address and chosen password for site registration. Once you register with FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com and sign in to our services available only to registered users, you are no longer using this website anonymously.

If you are known to us as a registered user of FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com, we may combine information about your use of FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com with certain other information we have about you as a First Choice Holidays customer as well as information available from external sources (such as census bureau data) in order to customize your online experience and present you with relevant online and offline offers. We also use a “cookie” to enable our server to recognize you as a registered FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com user when you re-enter our website. If you would like to learn more about cookies, please read the “About Cookies” section below.

Please note that we DO NOT provide your e-mail address to our business partners. However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business partners. When we send e-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your e-mail address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich html e-mails. If your e-mail address is html-enabled, we may choose to send you graphic-rich html e-mails.

We have your consent to share the information;

We need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested;

We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com to provide a product or service to you. Unless we tell you differently, these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us; or We respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process.

FirstChoiceHolidaysPLC.com may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our website.

It is possible to program your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. If you are just browsing our website and are not a registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you may still continue utilizing the website. However, if you are visiting a website where you will be accessing your personalized information (i.e. any “My Page” feature), you must accept that website’s cookies as they are essential for website administration and security. By accepting a cookie, keep in mind that your choice to decline e-mail offers, if you have made such a choice, remains unaffected.

Here is how to set your cookie preferences:

Netscape Navigator 4: Select Preferences from the Edit menu. From the Preferences menu, select Advanced, and several options for cookies will be listed in the lower right of the menu. Additionally, you may select Help for more details. For further information about the Netscape browser and use of cookies, visit Netscape’s website.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4: Select Options from the View menu. Choose the Advanced menu and scroll to the section labeled “Cookies,” where several options are listed. For further information about the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and use of cookies, visit Microsoft’s website.

AOL: If you are using AOL v3.0 for Windows 95: Select Preferences from the Members menu. Click on the WWW icon and select Advanced. Modify your preferences if you wish to be warned before accepting cookies.

If you are using the following AOL browser, you will not be able to set cookie preferences since these browsers automatically accept cookies:

AOL for the MAC, using AOL’s version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.1.

All other earlier versions of AOL browsers do not support cookies, and therefore cannot authenticate you as a registered user on GrandExpeditions.com websites that involve sending or receiving personal account information.
