Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us.  Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of personal information.  The following outlines our Privacy Policy.

When accessing our Website, Trippin’ with Tara could learn certain information about you during your visit.

Similar to other commercial Websites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called cookies (see explanation below, What Are Cookies?) and Web server logs to collect information about how our Website is used.  Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the Websites visited just before and just after our Website, your IP address.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Website.  These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.  If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please see: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

DoubleClick Cookie

• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website.
• Google’s use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the ads preference manager.  (Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for interest based advertising by visiting aboutads.info.)

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier.  When you visit a Web site, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies.  Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

IP Addresses
Your computer uses IP addresses every time you are connected to the Internet.  Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer.  IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data”, so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.  We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, mail and telephone.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer service and making available other items and services to our customers and prospective customers.

Trippin’ with Tara will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so.  In other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.

A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our web site and services and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us.  If you are a minor, you can use this site only in conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents or guardians.

How Do We Protect Your Information and Secure Information Transmissions? 
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication.  For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email.  However, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk.  Some of the information you may enter on our Web site may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL.  Credit Card information is never transmitted via email.

Trippin’ with Tara may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, Trippin’ with Tara uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Policy Changes
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice.  However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy without your prior consent.

We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
