SPRINGDALE TRAVEL PRIVACY PRINCIPLES |
|
Springdale Travel agrees to abide by the Privacy
Principles adopted by American Express for itself from time to time. Those
requirements are currently as follows:
- WE COLLECT ONLY CUSTOMER INFORMATION
THAT IS NEEDED, AND TELL CUSTOMERS HOW WE USE IT. We limit the
collection of information about our customers to what we need to know to
administer their accounts, to provide customer services, to offer new
products and services, and to satisfy any legal and regulatory requirements.
We also tell our customers about the general uses of information we collect
about them, and we will provide additional explanation if customers request
it.
- WE GIVE CUSTOMERS CHOICES ABOUT HOW
THEIR INFORMATION WILL BE USED. Our businesses give customers “opt out”
choices about how information about the customer’s relationship with that
business unit may be used to generate marketing offers. These marketing
choices include product and service offers from American Express businesses
and those made by our business Companies. Of course, each of our businesses
will continue to send its customers information relating to products or
services they receive from that business.
- WE ENSURE INFORMATION QUALITY. We
use advanced technology, documented procedures and internal monitoring
practices to help ensure that customer information is processed promptly,
accurately and completely. We will respond in a timely manner to customers’
requests to correct inaccurate account or transaction information. We also
require high standards of quality from the consumer reporting agencies and
others that provide us with information about prospective customers.
- WE USE PRUDENT INFORMATION SECURITY
SAFEGUARDS. We limit access to customer information systems to those who
specifically need it to conduct their business responsibilities, and to meet
our customer servicing commitments. We employ safeguards designed to protect
the confidentiality and security of our customer information.
- WE LIMIT THE DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER
INFORMATION. We do not disclose customer information unless we have
previously informed or been authorized by the customer, or we do so in
connection with our efforts to reduce fraud or criminal activity and to
comply with regulatory requirements and guidelines. When a court order or
subpoena requires us to release information, we typically notify the
customer to give the customer an opportunity to exercise his or her legal
rights. Further, we will not disclose or use health information for
marketing purposes or use it as a basis to make credit decisions.
- WE ARE RESPONSIVE TO CUSTOMERS’
REQUESTS FOR EXPLANATIONS. If we deny an application for our services or
end a customer’s relationship with us, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, we will provide an explanation, if requested. We state the reasons for
the action taken and the information upon which the decision was based,
unless the issue involves potential criminal activity.
- WE HOLD OURSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR
PRIVACY PRINCIPLES. Each Springdale Travel employee is responsible for
maintaining consumer confidence in the company. We provide training and
communications programs designed to educate employees about the meaning and
requirements of these Customer Privacy Principles. Employees who violate
these Principles are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
dismissal.
We also conduct internal assessments of our privacy practices and
periodically commission outside expert reviews of our compliance with the
Privacy Principles and the specific policies and practices that support
these Principles.
- WE EXTEND THESE PRIVACY PRINCIPLES TO
OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. We require companies we select as our
business Companies to agree to keep our customer information confidential
and secure, to protect the information against unauthorized access, use, or
redisclosure by the recipient company, and limit its use to the purposes for
which it was provided to them.
We also encourage our business Companies to respect their customers’
information by adopting strong and effective privacy policies and practices,
including offering “opt out” choices for marketing offers to their
customers.
In addition, we participate actively in industry associations to advocate
development of comprehensive privacy policies and implementation strategies.
