how the information is used;

with whom the information may be shared;

Information Collection and Use
We use personally identifiable information
about you to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts, to statistically
analyze site usage, to improve our content
and product offerings and to customize our
site's content, layout, and services. We
believe these uses allow us to improve our
site and better tailor it to meet our users'
needs.
Sterling Cruises is the sole owner of the
information collected on our website. We
will not sell, share, or rent this
information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this statement. We
collect information from our users at
several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to purchase products offered
through our website, a user must first
complete a registration form. As part of
this Registration Form, a user will be
required to give their contact information
(name, address, phone number and email
address), as well as financial information
(a valid credit card number and expiration
date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to complete a transaction. If
we have trouble processing an transaction,
this contact information is used to get in
touch with the user. It is optional for the
user to provide demographic information
(such as income level and gender), and
unique identifiers (such as social security
number), but encouraged so we can provide a
more personalized experience on our site.
Whenever you provide sensitive information
(for example, a credit card number), we will
take reasonable steps to protect it, such as
encrypting your card number. We will also
take reasonable security measures to protect
your personal information in storage.
Cookies
To serve you faster and with better quality,
we use "cookies" technology. A cookie is a
piece of data stored on a user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage
of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on
our site. Once the user closes their
browser, the cookie simply terminates. For
instance, by setting a cookie on our site,
the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on
our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they
may still use our site. Cookies can also
enable us to track and target the interests
of our users to enhance the experience on
our site.
Some of our business partners may use
cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers, strategic partners). However,
we have no access to or control over these
cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information
(e.g., age, income, online shopping
preferences) for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
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.
We use an outside financial institution to
process credit card payments. This
institution does not retain, share, store or
use personally identifiable information for
any secondary purposes. Additionally, we
will forward certain personally identifiable
information (name, address) to vendors
(airlines, hotel, car rental company) from
whom you have purchased products or
services. Except for the foregoing, we will
not share any personally identifiable
information with any third parties.
Links
Our website contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage you to be aware when you
leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every website that
collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by Revelex
on this website.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site will request
information from users via surveys or
contests conducted by us. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may
include contact information (such as name
and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, income
level). Survey information will be used
solely for purposes of monitoring and/or
improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
Security
We are proud of our commitment to protecting
your privacy online. We value your trust in
us and will work hard to earn your
confidence so that you can enthusiastically
use our services and recommend us to friends
and family. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your
information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration form asks users to
enter sensitive information (such as credit
card number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for
example, a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must
use password-protected screen-savers when
they leave their desk. When they return,
they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every month,
as well as any time new policies are added,
our employees are notified and/or reminded
about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected.
Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are
kept in a secure environment, behind a
locked cage.
If you have any
questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to
security@cruiserewards.net.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to
verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special
deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for
the privacy of our users we present the
option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see our choice and
opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip code),
or if a user no longer desires to be a
member of our service, we will endeavor to
provide a way to correct, update or remove
that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member
information page or by emailing our Customer
Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to
'opt-out' of having their information used
for purposes not directly related to our
site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our registration
form has an "opt-out" mechanism so users who
utilize our services, but don't want any
marketing material, can keep their email
address off of our lists.
Members who no longer
wish to receive our newsletter or
promotional materials from our partners may
opt-out of receiving these communications by
replying to unsubscribe in the subject line
in the email or email us at
unsubscribe@cruiserewards.net.
Users of our site are always notified when
their information is being collected by any
outside parties. We do this so our users can
make an informed choice as to whether they
should proceed with services that require an
outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
Due to the rapidly evolving technologies on
the Internet, we may occasionally revise or
update this policy. All revisions will be
posted to this site. If we decide to change
our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are
always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under circumstances, if
any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that
stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify users by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use
their information in this different manner.
We will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
How to Contact Us
We welcome comments
and questions on this policy. We are
dedicated to protecting your personal
information, and will make every reasonable
effort to keep that information secure.
Should you have any questions, concerns or
comments regarding our privacy policy, send
