Privacy Policy
Information about you is subject
to our Privacy Policy. USA's privacy
policy does not control the privacy policy of companies with
which we must share information in order to provide you with
travel services. See Sharing of Information, below. USA may
sell or distribute your personal information unless you inform
us that you do not wish such information to be sold or
distributed. See Sale or Distribution of Information. Also,
USA's privacy policy does not control the privacy policy of
any linked/third party website and you must contact such
website for its privacy policy.
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.

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.
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.

webmaster@usatravelgroup.com.
