Overview

Thank you for visiting Mission Travel Tour privacy policy statement. Mission Travel Tours does not collect personal information about visitors to our Website unless you choose to provide that information to us. MTT will use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested.

At Mission Travel Tours our goal is to make your vacation/holiday exceptional. To help us achieve this goal, the more we know about our guests, the more we can assist you with your vacation. As we help you plan your trip, we ask for some mandatory and some optional information. In return, we promise to protect this information so that it remains confidential.

What Information We Ask for and When

You can reserve a trip or make a reservation by contacting us by phone, email, or by visiting our website. At that time, we will ask you to provide some basic information (including your name, address, phone number, and credit card number and expiration date) so that we can identify you, contact you and process your reservation. Sometimes, we may need more information in order to allow us to provide you with a high level of guest services. Below is a description of some of the extra information we may require.

Health Condition: We may need information about your age, gender, and general health so that we can assist in safeguarding your personal health and safety.

Dietary Restrictions / Limitations / Preferences: We understand that many guests prefer or are required to follow certain diets. We try to accommodate these choices and needs whenever possible. To accomplish this, your dietary preferences need to be recorded in your guest record. This information is then transferred to your guides, who contact the various restaurants and hotels we work with to ensure that your requirements can be met.

Flight and Passport Information: If we are assisting you with any flight arrangements in conjunction with your trip, we will request your full name as it appears on your passport and your passport number for international flights. Even if we are not assisting you with your flight arrangements, we will request your flight information in order to provide you with any necessary airport transfers and/or to ensure that you will have adequate time to arrive at the airport for your flights. For some trips, we request passport information because it is required by our local service providers (for example, a hotel or a ship) or to facilitate your transportation while on a Mission Travel trip.

(Privacy Principles) The Privacy Principles for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information include:

1. ACCOUNTABILITY

MTT requires a comparable level of protection for personal information handled by its third-party contractors. MTT will maintain and protect all personal information of Travelers under its control at all times.

2. IDENTIFYING PURPOSES

Mission Travel Tours shall identify the purposes for which personal information is collected, see above "What information we ask for and when". When personal information that has been collected is to be used for a purpose not previously identified, the new purpose will be identified before use.

3. CONSENT

The knowledge and consent of the individual are required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where required or permitted by law.

Mission Travel Tours provides travel tour operator services to clients. To complete these services, MTT requires personal information for authorized Travelers. The personal information collected by MTT may include but is not limited to, name, address, age, marital status, passport and visa information, emergency contact, email, phone number, financial information, and corporate data.

In order to complete the travel arrangements requested by the Traveler, MTT may input the Traveler's personal information into a Tour Management Tech operating system or provide the Traveler's personal information to one of the global distribution systems or an internet booking engine ("GDS") or another travel supplier in our network. The GDS uses such personal information to aid in fulfilling the travel arrangements requested by a Traveler through specific travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies. MTT receives confirmation of the travel arrangements requested by a Traveler.

Mission Travel Tours provides information to the Client on travel arrangements made for a Traveler. This information may include, but is not limited to, information regarding the dates and times of travel, locations traveled to and from, classes of service provided, the names and locations of any hotels or other lodging arranged for the Traveler by MTT, the names of other travel suppliers providing services to the Traveler, and the costs incurred for all travel services selected by the Traveler.

Personal information transferred to a supplier may be subject to the Privacy Laws of a foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the United States or other government and law enforcement authorities may have access to a Traveler's personal information under certain security screening protocols.

However, if a Traveler chooses not to submit his or her personal information to Mission Travel Tours or allow Mission Travel Tours to provide such personal information to a GDS or other travel supplier within our network, then Mission Travel Tours may not be able to provide the travel services requested.

Personal information of Travelers is protected by security safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

Keeping a Traveler's personal information confidential is important to us and MTT takes reasonable steps to protect that information against such risks as loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, or destruction.

Any credit card information is transmitted in an encrypted format using standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Travelers should use caution when disclosing personal information by telephone or other electronic media, as MTT has no control over such third party providers.

MTT conducts periodic internal reviews of its data collection, storage and processing practices and the security measures it has implemented to ensure that such security measures provide reasonable precautions and are commensurate with those generally practiced within the travel management industry.

As with all personal information, MTT will never rent or sell a Traveler's personal financial information.
