"Personal information" is information that would allow someone to

telephone number or email address. Personal information does not include
aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of
any one individual.
1. What Information Is Collected.
Users may browse through the informational portion of our Web Site without
providing us with any personal information. However, if you request information
or materials from us, we may ask for your contact information, such as your
name, email address, company name, address, and phone number. In addition, we may
collect personal information from you when you send us emails or submit other
forms of information directly to us. We may also collect personal information
from you at other points on our Web Site that state that personal information is being collected.
To access and make reservations through the online reservations system
offered by online www.nyclimousine.com at our Web Sites or at our affiliates
Web Site, we will require you to complete a registration form. This
registration form will request certain personal information about the Web Site
user ("User") and the traveler who will use our transportation
services ("Client") in the event the Client is different from the
User. This information will be compiled into a
profile. Such information may include at least the following, for the User:
name, address, email address, company name, phone number and ARC or IATA
number; and for the Client: name, email address, phone number, company name,
work address, home address and billing address, pick-up and drop-off information,
credit card information, corporate account information, and in-transit
itineraries.
In addition, we may use a feature of your browser called a
"cookie" to identify you while you are using the Web Site. Cookies
are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our Web Site.
Cookies make your internet experience quicker and more convenient. You are
always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of
the Web Site may not work properly if you do. We may also use cookies for other
purposes, including enhancements to the reservations system. In addition, we
may also collect User's IP addresses and browsing habits (such as pages viewed
and other click stream data) to help us analyze traffic on the Web Site, and we
may have link identification numbers when Users link to the Web Site from web
sites of our partners.
2. Who Collects Your Information.
NYC Limousine owns the nyclimousine.com Web Sites and the personal
information collected through the Web Site. We may outsource to a third party
the hosting and operation of the Web Site. However, such third parties do not
and will not have any ownership interest in the personal information collected
or any right to use the personal information apart from the operation of the
Web Site. For personal information we receive from
third party reservations agents, systems or centers, NYC Limousine either owns,
jointly owns, or has the appropriate licenses to use such information. You
should check with the third party who initiated your reservations to determine
their respective privacy policies. NYC Limousine is not responsible for the
privacy practices of any third parties.

We use the personal information collected through our Web Site to administer
and deliver our services. In connection with the delivery of our services, we
may share the personal information with third-party partners or vendors who
help deliver or administer the services, but they are only
permitted to use the information in connection with the delivery or
administration of our services. For example, we share a Client's credit card
information with a third-party credit card processing company, but that company
is not permitted to use the credit card or personal
information for any purpose other than to fulfill the specific purchase
transaction. We may also share personal information with NYC Limousine affiliates
who need such information to provide the services that you have specifically
requested.
We may also use the personal information collected through the Web Site to
provide you with information or newsletters related to our services, and to
promote our services to your company as listed in your profile. This may
include sending you information and promotions via email, postal mail, fax or via telephone calls. In addition, we may provide
certain of your personal information, namely your name, email address, address
and phone number, to third-parties who offer goods or services in which we
think you might be interested. However, for information that we have collected
through your voluntary participation in an online customer survey to obtain
your suggestions or comments about NYC Limousine’s services, we use such
information only for the purpose for which it was collected.
We will not use such survey information for direct marketing or disclosure to
other companies.
We may share, sell or transfer the personal information you provide to us in
the event of bankruptcy or the sale or transfer of a division or substantially
all of our corporate assets or capital stock.
We also use personal information on an aggregated basis for a variety of
purposes, including operating and enhancing our Web Site and our services,
internal marketing research, and management reporting. We reserve the right to
use and disclose this aggregated information to third parties for any purpose.
Aggregate information will not identify any one specific individual.
We also use pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online advertising.
These GIF files are provided by our advertisement management
partners. These files enable our partners to recognize a unique cookie
on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements
bring users to our website. The cookie was placed by
us, or by another advertiser who works with our partners. The information that
we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not
contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to investigate and
ask questions before disclosing information to third parties.

inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any information
about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as
we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
5. Correcting, Updating and Deleting Your Personal
Information.
You can access, update, or delete your personal information by contacting NYC

are not responsible for removing your personal information from the records of
any third party who has previously been provided with
your information in accordance with this policy.

used by us or disclosed to third parties in the future in the ordinary course
of business. However, even if you delete or change some personal
information in our registration database, it may still be stored on other
databases (including those kept for archival purposes). Also,
because we need to have certain of your personal information in order to
deliver our services, you will not be able to receive such services if you
delete such personal information.
6. Our Security Procedures.
We have established and maintain reasonable security
procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your
personal information. We use encryption, Secure Socket Layers, and
firewalls, and we implement off-line efforts to further
protect this information, including limiting employee access to personal
information and updating our employees regarding our security practices and
privacy policies. However, please recognize that "perfect security"
does not exist on the Internet. Due to the inherent open nature of the
Internet, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or
private communications.
Our Web Site is maintained in the United States of America. By using
the Web Site, you authorize the exportation of your personal information to the
U.S.A.
and its storage and use as specified above when you provide such information to
us.
7. Changes to this Policy.
NYC Limousine may amend or change this policy at any time. We will post any
revisions to this policy on the Web Site, so that Users are aware of these
changes. Any User or Client who provides additional personal information after
these changes are posted will be deemed to have
accepted the revised policy. If at any point we decide
to use personal information in a manner different from that stated at the time
it was collected, we will send such person an email notifying them of such
changes and giving them the option as to whether to allow us to use their
information in this different way. Without such consent, we will use personal
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was collected.
8. Effective Date.
This Privacy Policy is effective and was last updated
on March 1, 2010.

information. If you have any questions, you may contact us at http://nyclimousine.com/ask-customer-service.aspx.
