BookMyGroup is the sole owner of the information collected on www.bookmygroup.com. BookMyGroup collects information from our users at several different points on our Website.

In order to completely use this Website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, a user is required to give contact information, such as name and e-mail address. BookMyGroup uses this information to contact a user about services on our site for which he has expressed interest.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information, such as name, e-mail address and address. This information is used for record-keeping purposes and to fulfill customers’ orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies and log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that detail their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user’s personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our Website, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to him. We do not share your profile with other third parties.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to obtain self-service technical support or participate in any of our sweepstakes, contests or monthly drawings that may take place. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. See the “Profile” section.
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username. Established members may occasionally receive information on products, services, and special deals. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send users and e-mail. Users may opt-out of these communications.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account, we reply via e-mail or phone, in accordance with the users’ wishes.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Website.
Third Party Intermediaries
While in the process of serving our clients, we may enlist the aid of third-party intermediaries to deliver our services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the even that BookMyGroup goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via e-mail and prominent notice on our Website for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, a user’s personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, he will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Website notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice, we will also e-mail users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of changes in our privacy practices.
