regarding your order setup or order’s status. Some service providers also require you to provide
credit or debit card account information to secure or pay for your reservation or service order.
When you make a service provider reservation or online transaction through our Services and/or
make a payment to an order through our Services, we may also share with the service providers
additional information, such as information about your preferences and history or information
that we collect from third-parties. Information you choose to share with a service provider when
you make a reservation and/or pay a service provider through our services may be used by the
service provider for its own purposes. We do not control the privacy practices of service
providers.

providers, we may require credit or debit card account information. By submitting your credit or
debit card account information through our services, you expressly consent to the sharing of

•Tailored Advertising
Third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Services may also
use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services. This
is done in order to help them (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our
website and other sites and (ii) report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and
interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our website. We
also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Ads,
Double-clicks and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, and to access their own
cookies or similar technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to
access the Services. We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of
cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed by such third parties. These parties
may permit you to opt out of ad targeting. If you are interested in more information about
tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your
computer to deliver tailored advertising (i.e., not just for the Services), you may visit the
Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out Link, and/or the Digital Advertising
Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out Link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies
that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Ads for Display Advertising or
customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note
that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive
ads even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored
to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not
responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or
accuracy of these mechanisms. When accessing the Services from a mobile application you may also
receive tailored in-mobile application advertisements. Each operating system: iOS, Android
provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-mobile application
advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the
respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-mobile application
advertisements. For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy
settings for the mobile applicable device or operating system or contact the mobile applicable
platform operator.

Services for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the above links to the NAI
"Consumer Opt-out", DAA opt-out, and Google opt-out. However, we do not currently recognize or
respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is still working on
Do Not Track standards, implementations and solutions.

process and store and the current state of technology. We follow generally accepted industry
standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once

providers. The third-party service providers with respect to our vault and tokenization services
and also our payment gateway and payment processing are all validated as compliant with the
payment card industry standard (generally referred to as PCI compliant service providers).
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of

means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and
thereby usage in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. We assume no liability

third-party access, or other causes beyond our control. You play an important role in keeping
