Non-Registered Users

Blackbook Traveler analyses all IP addresses to track user statistics and to help diagnose problems with our server and website. It is very difficult to identify you through your IP address and we make no attempt to do so. This non-personal statistical information is primarily used to determine what is popular on our website and what we can do to make improvements.

We also may collect such information and share this data with advertisers (such as tracking the number of clicks received on an advertisement).

Registered Users

Blackbook Traveler collects both personal and non-personal information from our registered users. Personal information may include details from forms you complete on our website, such as email addresses, gender, age and nationality. This information is gathered with users' consent.

We use this information to gain basic profiles of our users. This may enable us to send information that we think may be of interest to you such as news, travel safety updates, communications from other Blackbook Traveler members or requests for feedback.

Occasionally we may send targeted advertising to you which may be of interest and helps pay to keep the website up and running.

You can opt out of any or all of these activities at any time.

You can cancel your registration at any time by emailing us. When we have confirmed your request we will remove your information from our database. Some information may remain in our archives for an additional period before being deleted.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

Blackbook Traveler will not sell or rent any user's personal information. We may however aggregate personal information from all our users and present these to other parties such as advertisers for marketing and promotional purposes. This information will not be in a form that will in any way identify you personally to that third party.

Blackbook Traveler would however be at liberty to disclose your personally identiable information in response
to:

(a) legal process such as a court order or subpoena

(c) in the event we are acquired by or merged with another company.

Please note it is a breach of our terms and conditions to include your personal information or that of any third party on our website.
