Use of Internet Protocol ("IP")Addresses
An IP address is a unique
number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing
the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers,
known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
Fairfield Resorts and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the
purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our
advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When Customers request pages
from Fairfield Resorts and/or its affiliates' sites, our
servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be
logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP
addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce
compliance with our site terms of use or terms of service or to protect our
service, site, customers or others.
Use of Cookies
What are "cookies"? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to your
computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in a file on
your computer. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your
preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of
our Web site when you return to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual
identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords or
credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard,
and as such, you'll find that most major Web sites use them.
By showing how and when Customers use a site,
cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements
and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and
pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the
information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Customers'
needs.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of
time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are
initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts
of gowithfairfield.com and/or its affiliates' services will not function properly or
may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies,
you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or may have difficulty
completing marketing transactions.
Fairfield Resorts, and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its
cookies. First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example,
Customers can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't
have to tell us repeatedly your preferred vacation preferences. Second, we use
cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends and patterns. This helps us
understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of Fairfield Resorts and/or its affiliates services that our Customers find
valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have
the option of disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.
You may occasionally get cookies from our
advertisers. Fairfield Resorts, and/or its affiliates do not
control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party
servers is standard in the Internet industry.
With whom does eDiscovery Vacations share my Information?
As a general rule, Fairfield Resorts will not disclose any specific personal information that
you submit to us about you ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects
you with the Personal Information, except when we have your permission or under
special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes
some of the ways that your Personal Information may be disclosed.
Business Partners &
Sponsors: Fairfield Resorts may disclose some or all of your Personal Information to
business partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically described to
you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Many promotions
offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By
requesting more information, you give Fairfield Resorts permission to transfer your Personal Information to the
sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your e-mail
address will be shared. If more Personal Information will be shared with the
sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.
Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be
offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third
parties. If you opt to receive information from these third parties,
Fairfield Resorts will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail
address with such third parties. Under confidentiality agreements,
Fairfield Resorts may match Personal Information with third party data.
Also, Fairfield Resorts may keep track of what portions of
the Web site Customers are visiting and other Customer statistics, and aggregate
this information to help us create a better experience for users of our Web
site. This is all done without knowing your name or other Personal Information
in order to describe our viewers and services to prospective partners,
advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other: Fairfield Resorts may also disclose
account Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating Fairfield Resorts terms of use or terms of service, or may be causing
injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any
of Fairfield Resorts rights or property, other Fairfield Resorts Customers, or anyone else. Fairfield Resorts may disclose or access account
Information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for
administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service,
and improve our products and services.
How can you control the usage of Information?
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information
changes (such as your zip code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way
to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that you give us. We also
give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct to you. We
offer Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of having Personal Information
shared with parties outside of Fairfield
Resorts and/or its affiliated
companies. If a Customer wishes to update Personal Information or objects to any
usage provided herein for any reason, he/she may e-mail the requested change
to:
webmaster@efairfield.com
or write to us at

What happens when you link to a third party site?
You should be aware that when you are on Fairfield Resorts
and/or its affiliates' sites you could hyperlink or be directed
to other sites that are beyond our control and/or outside our
service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement
or a eDiscovery Vacations search result, the "click"
may transfer you off the eDiscovery Vacations site. These
other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners
that may use Fairfield Resorts and/or its affiliates' logo
as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send
their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.
Fairfield Resorts and its affiliates do not control such sites, and,
therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or
advertising they choose to place on such sites. Fairfield Resorts and/or its affiliates' inclusion of hyperlinks to these
sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any
association with their operators. Fairfield Resorts policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in
the operation of the Internet, which is beyond Fairfield Resorts and its affiliates' control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out
information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information
can be collected and used by people you don't know. While Fairfield Resorts and its affiliates strive to protect their Customers'
information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you
disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.
Is my information secure from others using the eDiscovery
Vacations site?
The security of all information associated with our Customers is an important concern to us. We exercise care in
providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our
servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your
information, Fairfield Resorts and its affiliates can't ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online
products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your
transmission, Fairfield Resorts uses industry standard efforts to
safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure
Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
