Information Collected Online About You - Information that you provide us.

 

Reservations

When you book a reservation through the Expedia booking engine, it asks you to provide personally identifiable information by filling out and submitting an online customer profile form.  This information includes your name, home or work telephone number, fax number, email address, and your credit card number, expiration date and billing address.  This information is used to process and book your reservation and to notify you of your reservation status by email or fax.  In addition you may be asked for personally identifiable information about other people for whom you are booking reservations.  This information is used only to reserve the room with the hotel or other lodging, and, if you request it, to send each person an email notification of the reservation.

 

When using the Expedia booking engine via the Hotel Desk pages this personally identifiable information is passed to us at Hotel Desk. Having therefore used our service you will then occasionally receive updates from us about special offers, new Hotel Desk services, and other noteworthy news items.  However, you may always decline to receive these email and fax messages.  There would normally be no more than four communications per calendar year.
