What about changes to the Privacy Policy? What information is collected? We collect information from you that allows us to provide services and content that are customized to your vacation planning needs. The information we collect from our customers helps us in our efforts to continually improve your vacation planning experience at our PortACondoRental.com and MiraculumRealProperty.com sites. Listed below are the types of information that we gather: Information You Provide Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You provide most such information when you make a reservation or inquiry, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you make an inquiry; make a reservation; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; and complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with information such as your name, address, phone numbers, email addresses; credit card information; and financial information, including Social Security and driver's license numbers. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to make a reservation or information request. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our site, and communicating with you. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with this site. Like many Web sites, we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses PortACondoRental.com, MiraculumRealProperty.com, or any of our sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; e-mail address; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; and the phone number you used to call us. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. We want you to be aware that these tools exist. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on its Web site, Site Seeing on the Internet. E-mail Communications: We frequently receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from MiraculumRealProperty.com if your computer supports such capabilities. Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next communication more easily; search term and search result information from some searches; and search results and links, including paid listings (such as Sponsored Links). What about cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that some sites transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable their systems to recognize your browser and to provide custom features. At this time, neither PortACondoRental.com nor MiraculumRealProperty.com uses cookies. How is collected information used? We pledge to protect your privacy by keeping the personal information that you provide us secure and private. We do not sell, trade, rent, or release your personal information to anyone outside our company, contractors, and affiliates, other than in compliance with this privacy policy. We and our affiliates use the personal information you provide voluntarily to provide customer service, perform business activities, and contact you regarding your stay with us. Your information may be combined with information about you which we gathered from other sources. We share your information with our credit card issuers and other companies where necessary to complete your vacation rental transaction. We may also use your information to send you promotional communications by mail or e-mail. To the extent required or permitted by law, we may collect, use and disclose personal information in connection with security-related or law enforcement investigations or in the course of cooperating with authorities or complying with legal requirements. We may also use your information as permitted by law to perform credit checks, report or collect debts owed, or protect the rights or property of Miraculum Real Property, our employees, our customers, Island Retreat, this site, or its users. Does Miraculum Real Property, LP, share the information it receives? Our customers are our priority, and we consider protecting the privacy of their personal information to be both a duty and a privilege. Accordingly, we are not in the business of selling information about our customers to others. We share customer information only as described below. Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy properties and their rental business. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Miraculum Real Property, LP, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. Protection of Miraculum Real Property, LP, and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Miraculum Real Property, LP, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. It does not, however, include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. With your consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information. How is my personal information protected? Miraculum Real Property, LP, employs the following techniques and processes to protect information about you: Secure, encrypted data transmission: When you enter personal information on this site, it is encrypted and transmitted to our servers using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. You can tell if your information is encrypted by looking for the locked padlock icon on the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of your screen and a change in the site address from "http" to "https." Obscured credit card numbers on confirmation: We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming a reservation. Of course, the entire credit card number is transmitted to the appropriate credit card company during reservation processing. Firewall-secured servers: Once your information reaches us, it is stored behind a secure firewall that blocks access from outside our server. What information can I access? Through customer service, Miraculum Real Property, LP, gives you access to information about your account and your interactions with us, for the purpose of reviewing and, in some cases, updating that information. Some examples of information you can access at Miraculum Real Property, LP, include up-to-date information regarding reservations; personally identifiable information (including name, e-mail, password, and communications preferences); and payment information (including credit card information). What choices do I have? Non-disclosure: As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a reservation, participate in contests or promotions, or obtain support or service. Update personal information: Through customer service, you can add or update certain information such as that listed in the "What information can I access?" section above. When you update information, we may keep a copy of the prior version for our records. Does this policy cover other sites linked to/from PortACondoRental.com and/or MiraculumRealProperty.com? Miraculum Real Property, LP, provides links to other World Wide Web sites and resources for your convenience in planning vacation travel. Additionally, some list and/or resource sites may link to our sites. Miraculum Real Property, LP, has no control over the content and practices of the operators of these sites and resources.
