Please read the following policy to learn about our privacy practices. By visiting our website, www.LingvoBooking.com, you are accepting the practices described herein.

What information we collect from you

In General

We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. This includes information that can identify you ("personal information"), including your first and last name, telephone number, postal and e-mail addresses. You can choose not to provide information to us, but in general some information about you is required in order for you to register for a course.

Student Information

When you make language travel or other arrangements for someone else through LingvoBooking.com, we will request personal information and preferences about that individual. You should obtain the consent of other individuals prior to providing LingvoBooking.com with their personal information.

Information from Other Sources

We also may periodically obtain information about you from our business partners and other independent third-party sources and add it to our account information. Examples of information we may receive include: updated delivery and address information, which we use to correct our records and to facilitate proper delivery of language travel information; and demographic information, which we use to better understand your potential purchasing preferences.

Automatic Information

We automatically collect some information about your computer when you visit LingvoBooking.com. For example, we will collect your IP address, Web browser software (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), and referring Web site. We also may collect information about your online activity, such as courses viewed and purchases made. One of our goals in collecting this automatic information is to help customize your user experience.

Cookies and Other Web Technologies

When you visit LingvoBooking.com, we may assign your computer a "cookie" (a small, unique identifier text file). You can always choose not to receive a cookie file by enabling your Web browser to refuse cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie. Please note that if you refuse to accept cookies from LingvoBooking.com, you may not be able to access many of the tools offered by LingvoBooking.com.

Information Collected by Third-Party Advertising Companies

Third-party advertisers, such as those we use to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet, may use cookies and other technologies (such as Web beacons or single-pixel GIFS) for several purposes, including: to measure the effectiveness of their ads; to analyze, modify, and personalize advertising content on LingvoBooking.com and other sites; and to provide ads about goods and services we hope will be of interest to you. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

How we use your information

LingvoBooking.com uses information about you for the following general purposes: to provide you with the products and services you request; to provide you with confirmation and updates; to manage your account, including processing bills and providing notifications; to communicate with you in general; to respond to your questions and comments; to measure interest in and improve our products, services, and Web site; to notify you about special offers and products or services that may be of interest to you; to otherwise customize your experience with LingvoBooking.com; to reward you as part of any reward and recognition program you choose to join; to solicit information from you, including through surveys; to resolve disputes; to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; to enforce our Terms of Use.

With whom we share your information

LingvoBooking.com may share your information with the following entities:

  • Suppliers, such as language schools, hotels, airline, or insurance companies, or activity providers, who fulfil your travel reservations. Throughout LingvoBooking.com, all services provided by a third-party supplier are described as such. We do not share your email address with these suppliers unless they need it to fulfil the travel reservation you have made on LingvoBooking.com, and we restrict their use of this information to that purpose. We do not place limitations on our suppliers' use or disclosure of your other personal information. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any Service supplier whose products you purchase through LingvoBooking.com. Please note that these suppliers also may contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about you or to facilitate your language travel reservation.
  • Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services. You can tell when a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we may share information about you, including your personal information, with those partners. Please note that we do not control the privacy practices of these third-party business partners and recommend you evaluate their practices before deciding to provide your personal information.

We also may share your information:

  • In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
  • When we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of LingvoBooking.com, our customers, or others; and in connection with our Terms of Service and other agreements.
  • In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Other than as set out above, you will be notified when personal information about you will be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to have us share such information.

We also may share aggregate or anonymous information with third parties, including advertisers and investors. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors a Web site receives or what are the most popular vacation destinations. This information does not contain any personal information and is used to develop content and services we hope you will find of interest.

How we protect your information

We want you to feel confident about using LingvoBooking.com to plan and purchase your language travel, so we are committed to protecting the information we collect. While no website can guarantee security, we have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures to help protect the personal information you provide to us. We use encryption when transmitting your sensitive personal information between your system and ours, and we employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your information.

Children's privacy

LingvoBooking.com does not sell travel or other services for purchase by children. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.
