You should read and rely upon the relevant supplier or partner’s Privacy Policy only, if YesTrips does not collect this information from you directly.
We seek to maintain the integrity and security of your Personal Information.
We use industry-standard encryption protocols when receiving and transferring your Personal Information. When you send Personal Information to us over the Internet, we first require that a “secure session” be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
We seek to store your Personal Information in secure operating environments that are not accessible to the general public, and to have security measures in place at our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Information by our employees or third parties.
However, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage environment can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot give absolute assurance that the information you provide to us will be secure at all times. YesTrips will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorized access to your Personal Information. YesTrips will rely on you notifying us if you experience any unusual events that may indicate a breach in your information security. We will then seek to investigate whether the security breach was related to the data transmissions from or to YesTrips and let you know what steps have been and will/can be taken to help rectify the problem. Further action, such as reporting incidents to the police or other appropriate authorities, may also be required.
We know that our business will continue to evolve as we introduce new products and partners, as such, from time to time this Privacy Policy may be reviewed and revised.
YesTrips reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy by posting the changes to our website(s). You can determine when this Privacy Policy was last updated by reviewing the “LAST UPDATED” legend below.
