Zion Tours Privacy Statement
- WE COLLECT ONLY
CUSTOMER INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED, AND WE TELL CUSTOMERS HOW WE USE IT.
We limit the collection of information about our customers to what we need to know to
administer their accounts, to provide customer services, to offer new products and
services, and to satisfy any legal and regulatory requirements. We also tell our customers
about the general uses of information we collect about them, and we will provide
additional explanation if customers request it.
- WE GIVE CUSTOMERS
CHOICES ABOUT HOW THEIR INFORMATION WILL BE USED.
Our businesses give customers "opt out" choices about how information about the customer's relationship with that
business unit may be used to generate marketing offers. These marketing choices include
product and service offers from ZionTours businesses and those made by our business
partners. Of course, each of our businesses will continue to send its customers
information relating to products or services they receive from that business.
- WE ENSURE
INFORMATION QUALITY.
We use advanced technology, documented procedures and internal monitoring practices to
help ensure that customer information is processed promptly, accurately and completely. We
will respond in a timely manner to customers' requests to correct inaccurate account or transaction
information. We also require high standards of quality from the consumer reporting
agencies and others that provide us with information about prospective customers.
- WE USE PRUDENT
INFORMATION SECURITY SAFEGUARDS.
We limit access to customer information systems to those who specifically need it to
conduct their business responsibilities, and to meet our customer servicing commitments.
We employ safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality and security of our customer
information.
- WE LIMIT THE
DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION.
We do not disclose customer information unless we have previously informed or been
authorized by the customer, or we do so in connection with our efforts to reduce fraud or
criminal activity and to comply with regulatory requirements and guidelines. When a court
order or subpoena requires us to release information, we typically notify the customer to
give the customer an opportunity to exercise his or her legal rights. Further, we will not
disclose or use health information for marketing purposes or use it as a basis to make
credit decisions.
- WE ARE RESPONSIVE TO
CUSTOMER'S REQUESTS FOR EXPLANATIONS.
If we deny an application for our services or end a customer's relationship with us, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, we will provide an explanation, if requested. We
state the reasons for the action taken and the information upon which the decision was
based, unless the issue involves potential criminal activity.
- WE HOLD OURSELVES
RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PRIVACY PRINCIPLES.
Each ZionTours employee is responsible for maintaining consumer confidence in the company.
We provide training and communications programs designed to educate employees about the
meaning and requirements of these Customer Privacy Principles. Employees who violate these
Principles are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Employees
are expected to report violations, and may do so confidentially, to their manager, to
their business unit's
compliance officer, or to the company's Office of the Ombudsperson.
We also conduct internal assessments of our privacy practices and periodically commission
outside expert reviews of our compliance with the Privacy Principles and the specific
policies and practices that support these Principles.
- WE EXTEND THESE
PRIVACY PRINCIPLES TO OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.
We require companies we select as our business partners to agree to keep our customer
information confidential and secure, to protect the information against unauthorized
access, use, or redisclosure by the recipient company, and limit its use to the purposes
for which it was provided to them.
We also encourage our business partners to respect their customers' information by adopting
strong and effective privacy policies and practices, including offering "opt out" choices for marketing
offers to their customers.
In addition, we participate actively in industry associations to advocate development of
comprehensive privacy policies and implementation strategies.
