In addition, we may disclose Personal Information about you if we are required to do so by law or pursuant to legal process, in order to respond to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, and/or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. We also reserve the right to transfer any Personal Information we have about you if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.

We may collect various information related to Customers. We may collect, process, transmit, and store information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including any information you send to or through the Service.

Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience when visiting our site and/or using our services. Specifically, we may collect and use the following information:

Personal Information: You may visit our Site without disclosing any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). However, you may also choose to provide certain Personal Information, such as your name, address, payment information, telephone number, and/or email address on this Site.

Aggregate and non-personal information does not relate to a single, identifiable visitor.

By collecting this information, we can tailor our Site to better meet the needs of our visitors.

Communications: Our communications with you, including phone calls, may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes. When you sign up for an account or use certain features, you are opting to receive messages from other users, businesses, and 288 Travel.

If you send or receive messages through the Service via SMS text message, we may log phone numbers, phone carriers, and the date and time that the messages were processed. Carriers may charge recipients for texts that they receive. We may also store information that you provide through communications to us, including from phone calls, letters, emails, and other electronic messages, or in person. If you are a representative of a business listed on 288 Travel or use a phone number associated with such a business, now or previously, we may contact you, including by phone or email, using the contact information you provide us, that you make publicly available, or that we have on record for your business.
