PRIVACY POLICY

USA is committed to protecting your privacy online.

Visitors to USA's website are not required to provide personal information. If you request information or forms from us we ask for information such as your name, address, e-mail address, birth date, gender, and school you attend or teach at. Any information collected from you for such purposes is voluntary.

USA is required to collect personal information about you when you register for travel on our website. We need information such as your name, address, e-mail address, birth date, gender, school you attend or teach at, and credit card information in order to register you for travel. USA may also use that information to contact you about other information, services or products related to the trip, such as cancellation insurance, in which you might be interested. Only you can make changes to your personal information. If you would like to correct any information that has been inaccurately provided to us or that has changed, or to delete your name and other personal information from this website after your travel has been completed, please hit the "Contact Us" button of the appropriate USA program and send us clear instructions to that effect.

Upon registration, you will be provided with a travel identification number with which you can access your individual travel profile. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the travel identification number, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur with respect to your travel identification number. You agree to immediately notify USA of any unauthorized use of your travel identification number.

Because our travel services are offered in conjunction with the services of other companies such as airlines, hotels, and other tour operators, USA will be sharing your personal information with those companies. See Terms of Service regarding how your personal information may be shared. USA may disclose information about you, such as your name or address to companies unrelated to the travel services to be rendered, unless you inform us that you do not wish such personal information to be sold or otherwise distributed. See Privacy Policy, Sale or Distribution of Information.

If USA believes that you are violating USA's Terms of Service or are causing injury through interference or otherwise, USA will disclose personal information necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action, or when USA is legally required to disclose such information.

USA's website does contain links to other websites that may collect personal information about you, and we have no control over the privacy issues of those websites. You must contact such websites for their own privacy policies, if any. See Terms of Service regarding Links/Third Party Websites.

When you provide us with credit card information in order to complete a purchase transaction or for verification purposes, we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Sharing of Information

Because our travel services are offered in conjunction with the services of other companies such as airlines, hotels, and other tour operators, USA will be sharing your personal information with those companies. We share the following information: Name, address, phone, birth date, gender, and school you attend or teach at, and/or email.

Sale or Distribution of Information

USA may also sell or distribute your name, address, and e-mail address to companies unrelated to the travel services for which you are inquiring or registering unless you inform USA that you do not consent to such sale or distribution by hitting the "Contact Us" button of the appropriate USA program and tell us you do not so consent.

When children under the age of 13 attempt to register with USA, we ask for a parent or guardian to provide consent before we collect any registration information. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Any privacy policy changes will be posted here. Questions regarding USA's privacy statement can be directed to webmaster@usatravelgroup.com.
