How We Collect Information
Friends of Dorothy®Travel collects information about our visitors by voluntary submission, IP addresses and cookies.
 
Voluntary Submission
When you choose to subscribe to our email list, newsletter or to access special sections of this site, you may be required to supply certain personal information during the registration process. Any information collected through these online forms may be used by Friends of Dorothy®Travel to assemble broad demographic information about our visitors in general, for statistical analysis, or to measure interest in various areas of our site.
 
Friends of Dorothy®Travel will not disclose by any means (share, sell or divulge) any personal information, such as your address, email, telephone or fax numbers to third parties, unless we are required to do so by law. Friends of Dorothy®Travel will maintain this information in accordance with our strict confidentiality standards.
 
Cookies
A cookie is a message sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Use of cookies is a common industry practice which allows a site to store and track your preferences in order to provide you with a more personalized experience at our site. You can set your browser preferences to reject all cookies, but this may slow down access to certain sections of the site.
 
Cookies help simplify your experience by ‘remembering’ your preferences. We use cookies that contain no personal information. These cookies help us estimate our audience size and determine the most popular areas of interest. Cookies remain on your computer for two months. You may also delete them at any time.
 
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you surf the Internet. When you request pages from our server, it automatically logs your IP address, but not your email address. Friends of Dorothy®Travel may use this log for various purposes, such as in the course of systems administration and reporting aggregate information to our suppliers.
 
Agents
We employ consultants to develop and maintain our databases and web site. They have access to the minimum amount of personal information they may need to perform their functions, but are prohibited from using it for other purposes.
 
Your Information
You may modify any personal information you have given to us at any time, simply by filling out and submitting an online form.
