In order to book travel with Bhaya Cruises, you must provide us with certain personal information such as your name, credit or debit card number and expiration date, credit or debit card billing address, your telephone number, your e-mail address and the name or names of any person(s) travelling with you. We require this information so that we can process, fulfil and confirm your reservations and transactions and keep you informed of their status. If you are making a reservation for one or more other travellers, you will need to make sure that each of these other travellers agrees, in advance, that you may disclose their personal information to us. For your convenience, we make certain information about your reservation available to you or other persons authorized by you to receive such information.

When you book travel with us, you must provide us with a contact telephone number. We will use that telephone number in the event that we need to inform you of changes or other matters that may affect your booking or trip, such as changes due to flight delays, inclement weather, and cancellations. We may use text messages to provide you with such updates. When you provide us with a mobile telephone number as the contact number for a trip, you agree that you are providing us with your express consent to receive calls or text messages from Bhaya Cruises related to your booking. If you do not wish to receive these trip updates on your mobile phone, please provide us with another telephone number.

Online Surveys

Bhaya Cruises values opinions and comments from members, so we frequently conduct online surveys. Participation in these surveys is optional. Typically, we collate the information we collect and use it to make improvements to our service and to develop content, features and promotions for customers. Survey participants are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the survey.

Automatic Logging of Session Data

We automatically log generic information about your computer and your computer's connection to the Internet, which we call "session data". Session data consists of things such as device information, IP address, operating system and browser software information, and all the activities conducted by the user while using Bhaya Cruises. An IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet, such as our web servers, know where to send data back to the user, such as the pages of the site the user wishes to view. We collect session data because it helps us analyze such things as what items visitors are likely to click on most, the way visitors are clicking through the site, how many visitors are going to various pages on the site, how long visitors to the site are staying and how often they are visiting. It also helps us diagnose problems with our servers and lets us better administer our systems. It is possible to determine from an IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the approximate geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.

We encourage you to read the privacy statements of all such Third Party Suppliers as their policies may be materially different from this Privacy Policy.

We use non-personal information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behaviour of our customers and visitors, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of our site. We may provide anonymous statistical information based on this data to suppliers, advertisers, affiliates and other current and potential business partners. We may also use such aggregate data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and clicked on links to their websites.

What safeguards are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?

While no website can promise complete security, we have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security procedures designed to protect the personal information you provide to us. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may only do so for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption when transmitting your sensitive personal information between your system and ours, and we employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your information.

Information about "phishing"

We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information or any other sensitive information in an unsecure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is our priority.

This Privacy Policy was last revised on August 27th 2011. We may change or supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes in the way Bhaya Cruises use personal information will be described in future versions of this Privacy Policy.
