understand that before you may purchase any of the products and
services available on our Site, you must provide some PII to us.
PII includes information that can identify you as a specific individual,
such as your full name, address, phone number, and e-mail address.
Upon our request, you may also choose to voluntarilyprovide additional
PII to us, such as your age, gender, marital status, hobby information,
travel preferences, etc. VegasClubScout will use PII provided

in surveys, polls, promotions, contests, and sweepstakes sponsored
by us.
VegasClubScout collects PII in order to: (1) tailor your experience

the Site and improve the services we offer, (3) provide you with
information about promotions and offers through e-mail and on
the Site that we believe will be of interest to you, (4) complete
show ticket, tour reservations, golf reservations, restaurant

Membership information
When you travel to become a member of VegasClubScout, we ask
you to choose a username and password, and we ask you to provide
your e-mail address. We use this information to create your member
account and will send you a "Welcome to VegasClubScout"
e-mail to verify that the information you provided is correct
and to provide explanatory information to you relating to our
Site. Unless you have checked the box to allow us to save this
information, you must provide this information each time you log
on to our Site. Although you are required to travel as a member
of VegasClubScout in order to use selected travel planning tools,
and some PII is needed in order to process and fulfill travel
requests, many areas of VegasClubScout can be accessed without
providing any PII.
traveler Profile Information
When a reservation is made, VegasClubScout collects the full name,
address, and contact phone numbers for each traveler. You may
also be asked to include information about each traveler's preferences.
This information is stored in the member's VegasClubScout account.
One benefit of providing this information to us is that it will
be quicker for you when making future reservations, as you will
not have to type the same information repeatedly. If you choose
not to provide us with information relating to your preferences,
you may still purchase services on our Site. When you purchase
products and services for someone else on VegasClubScout, we may
collect PII and preferences about that individual. Because they
will be unable to view or change any information you provide on
their behalf, you should obtain the consent of those individuals
prior to providing VegasClubScout with their PII.
*Product Purchase Information.
VegasClubScout collects the credit card information (including
card number, type, and expiration date), the cardholder's name,
and the billing address of the credit card used to purchase travel.
This information is also stored in your member account.
*Promotions, Contests, and Sweepstakes Information.
VegasClubScout may offer Site visitors and our members the chance
to participate in promotions, contests, or sweepstakes; your participation
is voluntary. Those individuals participating in such activities
will be requested to provide PII, including their full name, e-mail
address, and street address, which we would use to contact you
in the event that you are a winner.
*Surveys and Polls.
VegasClubScout may also request Site visitors and our members
to participate in polls and surveys; your participation is voluntary.
We will use information gathered through such polls and surveys
to develop additional features, content, and promotions on the
Site.
*Information collected when you contact VegasClubScout.
When you contact VegasClubScout with a question, comment, suggestion,
or request for assistance, you may be required to provide PII,
such as your full name, username, e-mail address, and/or contact
phone numbers. If you personally contact or send communications
to VegasClubScout, authorized employees may update your member
profile to reflect any new PII received from you.
Information that is Automatically Collected through "Cookies"
As with most other Web sites, when you visit VegasClubScout, we
may automatically assign you a "cookie" (a small, unique
identifier text file that resides on your computer). This cookie
does not contain any PII. It merely allows us to better estimate
the number of viewers that use the Site and the number of viewers
that arrive to specific pages of our Site. If you do not wish
to receive a cookie file, you can always set your Web browser
to refuse them or prompt you before accepting one. However, please
be aware that rejecting cookies could affect your ability to complete
transactions, and to access planning tools, on VegasClubScout.
VegasClubScout may require you to sign in as a member to access
certain features. When you do so, we record your user name and
the member account name in the cookie file. We may also record
your password in this cookie file if you checked the box electing
this convenience. Your username, password, and the full name on
your member account is stored in the cookie file as encrypted
data; therefore, no person can view the information it contains
by obtaining unauthorized access to your computer.
Use of your Personal Information
Information collected on VegasClubScout may be used to:
*Create a Member Account. When you travel to
become a member of VegasClubScout, we use your information to
create your member account.
*Plan and Purchase Products. Information collected when you complete
your profile and/or the profiles of those traveling with you is
used to confirm and process your show, tour, dinner, nightclub,
spa, golf, ground transportation or other reservation(s). As such,
we only disclose the minimum PII to those service providers that
you decide to make arrangements with through our Site. For example,
when you purchase a tour, we provide the tour operator with the
PII needed to process the transaction. In addition, PII is used
to bill your credit card and deliver your travel itinerary, either
electronically or through the mail. We may also use your e-mail
address or telephone number to contact you about changes to your
purchased travel itinerary.
*Send E-mail Notifications for Special Promotions. As
a VegasClubScout member, if you have expressly opted-in to receive
specific information from us, we may send you e-mails about special
promotions, contests, sweepstakes, hotel specials, or other travel
opportunities on VegasClubScout and its marketing partners. Please
understand that typically our contests and special offers are
conducted through online means, so a valid e-mail must be presented
to participate. We only want you to receive e-mail regarding special
promotions and offers that you want to receive. As such, all of
our e-mail contains clear information telling you how to unsubscribe,
and we intend to promptly honor all such requests.
*Respond to your Questions, Comments, or Suggestions.
We will use your e-mail address or telephone number to respond
when you submit a question, comment, or suggestion, or if you
contact us to request our assistance.
*Improve the Quality of your Visit to our Site. We collect
certain information based on your navigation of our Site in order
to better understand and serve your needs and the needs of our
customers in general. This data allows us to improve your ability
to navigate the Site, to implement future design modifications
of the Site, and to develop content that will be of interest to
our members and Site visitors. We do not collect PII during your
navigation of the Site unless you explicitly provide it.
*Illustrate to Advertisers the Demographics of our Site Visitors.
We may collect and share aggregate information with advertisers
regarding the demographics of visitors to our Site.
*Tell A Friend. If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for
the friend’s name and email address. We will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.
We do not store this information, except for the sole purpose
of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our
referral program.
Sharing your Personal Information
VegasClubScout does not sell or rent your PII to anyone. VegasClubScout
will never share your PII with any party not affiliated with us
without your express consent. VegasClubScout may share your PII
in the following circumstances:
* Service Providers and travel Suppliers. To
provide and process the travel services you request, VegasClubScout
shares your PII with our authorized service providers that perform
services or functions on our behalf. Examples include providers
that fulfill orders, deliver packages, send postal mail, analyze
data, provide marketing assistance, process credit card payments,
and provide customer service. We only share PII with service providers
relating to travel that is either reserved or purchased on VegasClubScout.
Our service providers need your PII (i.e. your traveler profile
and your credit card information) to process and confirm your
travel reservation. These service providers will disclose information
about your traveler profile to travel suppliers (hotel, airline,
show venues, and/or rental car suppliers) whose products you have
purchased. Similar to travel arranged through a travel agent,
your PII must be shared with our travel suppliers to confirm your
reservation and travel preferences. Although VegasClubScout offers
travel products from show venues, tour operators, restaurants,
nightclubs, golf clubs, spas, and ground transportation suppliers
that are reputable companies, we have not placed limitations on
our travel suppliers from using or disclosing your information
without your permission. Therefore, we encourage you to review
the information privacy practices of any travel suppliers whose
products you purchase on VegasClubScout. In addition, these travel
suppliers may also contact you as necessary to obtain additional
information about your confirmed reservation.
*Third Parties Engaged to Conduct Surveys, Promotions,
or Sweepstakes. VegasClubScout may contract with a reputable
third party to facilitate the distribution of survey, poll, promotion,
contest, or sweepstakes programs. This information is protected
by a confidentiality agreement and is to be used solely in connection
with completing the project for which the third party was engaged.
Upon completion of these projects, all information is returned
to VegasClubScout.
*Other Web sites. There are several places throughout
VegasClubScout that may link you to other Web sites that do not
operate under VegasClubScout's information privacy practices,
even though in some instances we may brand another site with our
look and feel or frame its website with our own. When you click
through to these Web sites, VegasClubScout's information privacy
practices no longer apply. We recommend that you examine the privacy
statements for all third-party Web sites to understand their procedures
for collecting, using, and disclosing your PII.
*Other Disclosure Obligations. In addition to
the circumstances described above, VegasClubScout may disclose
your PII if required to do so by law, court order, as requested
by other government or law enforcement authority, to enforce our
Site Terms and Conditions and our Purchasing Terms and Conditions,
or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary
or advisable including, without limitation, to protect the rights
or properties of VegasClubScout when we have reason to believe
that disclosing your PII is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference
with our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise,
or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities. It may
also be necessary for VegasClubScout to provide member information
to third parties, such as credit card companies, for the purpose
of resolving disputes that arise in the normal course of business.
Finally, in the event we were to sell our business, member information
would likely be one of the transferred assets. For more information
on a sale of our assets see the "Changes to the VegasClubScout
Privacy Policy" below.
Protecting your Personal Information
In order to safeguard the PII you have provided to us, VegasClubScout
has instituted appropriate physical and electronic measures to
keep information stored in our systems protected from unauthorized
access. Our systems are configured with industry-standard firewalls,
systems designed to prevent unauthorized access, and data encryption
technologies. All information you provide to VegasClubScout is
transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, a proven
encryption system that will allow your browser to automatically
encrypt data before sending it to us.
VegasClubScout's partner company, Key2travel, has obtained a digital
certificate from VeriSign, the leading provider of digital trust
services. To verify the digital certificate for VegasClubScout
on each secured page, click the image of the closed lock or the
solid key on the bottom bar of the browser window. A small window
displaying the site security information will appear.
Of course, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your password and any account information. Please be careful,
responsible, and alert with this information, especially when
you are online.
