We may revise this list from time to time if we decide to offer additional services through these or other third-party partners.
PPN’s Agents: Many of the operations we perform require us to hire other companies to help us with these tasks. For example, PPN hires companies to help us handle mail and e-mail (including sending and delivering packages, postal mail and e-mail) analyze the data we collect, market our products and services, handle credit card transactions and provide customer service. The companies we employ to help us with these tasks have access to Personal Data to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Also, PPN requires all agents to whom Personal Data is disclosed to enter into confidentiality agreements and to agree to act in a manner consistent with the relevant principles articulated in this policy.
PPN’s Affiliates/Subsidiaries: So as to offer you a greater breadth of travel offerings and options, certain hotel accommodations available through the Site are offered by our sister company and priceline.com wholly owned Dutch subsidiary, Booking.com B.V. and as such are subject to Booking.com’s Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, which are different from our own. Hotel accommodations from Booking.com are indicated as such on the contract/offer page.
External Service Providers: When you use this private label Web site to purchase an airline ticket, reserve a hotel room or to take advantage of any of our other products and services (including travel insurance), we provide Personal Data to the airline, hotel, car rental agency, travel agency or other involved third-party.
Advertisements, Marketing Material and Other Offers: Unless you tell us that you do not want to receive these offers, PPN will occasionally send advertisements, marketing material or other offers on behalf of other businesses that we think might be of interest to you. This material is sent by PPN, and we do not give that other business your name or address. If you do not want to receive these advertisements, marketing material or other offers, please contact us and we will not send you any of this material.
Future Business Transfers: Our business is constantly changing. As part of that process, PPN may sell or buy other companies, and Personal Data may be transferred as part of these transactions. It is also possible that PPN, or substantially all of its assets, may be acquired by another company, whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise, and Personal Data may be transferred as part of such a transaction.
Compliance with Law and Protection of PPN: PPN reserves the right to release Personal Data in order to comply with the law. We may also release Personal Data to enforce or apply the terms and conditions applicable to our products and services, or protect the rights, property or safety of PPN, priceline.com, our users or others.
Consent: If none of the categories described above apply, we will notify you to obtain your consent if we believe it is necessary and appropriate to share your Personal Data with someone else. You will have the right to tell us not to share your Personal Data.
Our Policy Concerning Cookies
To serve you faster and with better quality, we use “cookie” technology and also allow third parties to use cookies on our Site. Cookies are small bits of code, usually stored on a user’s computer hard drive, which enable a web site to “personalize” itself for each user by remembering information about the user’s visit to the web site.
As described in more detail below, PPN’s cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience on our web site. The third party cookies used on our site are also designed to improve your web site experience by facilitating the receipt of targeted advertisements while on our site and while you are viewing other, non-PPN web sites.
Priceline Cookies (First Party Cookies): We, at PPN, use our cookies to reduce the time it takes for you to submit purchase requests. For example, we use a cookie to store a registered user’s e-mail address so that the user does not need to enter their e-mail address each time that they log-in onto PPN’s services. We will also use a cookie to keep track of your search criteria while you are engaging PPN’s services. PPN cookies are associated with a user’s personal information.
No third party has access to the information we collect through our PPN cookies, but if you’d rather we didn’t use PPN cookies when you visit us, click here and we will help you turn them off.
Third Party Cookies and Pixels
We also use third-party advertising companies to serve ads while you are visiting our site and permit these companies to place and access their own cookies on your computer in the course of serving advertisements on this site. These companies may use information obtained through their cookie (which does NOT include your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to our and other web sites, in combination with non-personally identifiable information about your purchases and interests from other online sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies and not ours. Such advertisers do not have access to our cookies.
In addition, we may share web site usage information about visitors to our sites with these companies for the purpose of managing and targeting advertisements and for market research analysis on our site and other sites. For these purposes, we and our third-party advertising companies may place pixel tags (also called clear gifs) on some of the pages you visit on our site. We will then use the non-personally identifiable information that is collected using these pixel tags to serve you relevant advertisements when you are visiting other sites on the Internet. These advertisements may be targeted to specific searches you conducted on PPN during earlier browsing sessions.
