Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Chocolatour collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Chocolatour’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Chocolatour’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Chocolatour may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Chocolatour also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Chocolatour does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Chocolatour.net choose to interact with Chocolatour in ways that require Chocolatour to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Chocolatour gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask commenters to provide a name, URL and email address. Chocolatour collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Chocolatour. Chocolatour does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Chocolatour may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to Chocolatour.net. However, Chocolatour does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Chocolatour discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Chocolatour’s behalf or to provide services available at Chocolatour.net, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Chocolatour.net, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Chocolatour will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Chocolatour discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Chocolatour believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Chocolatour, third parties or the public at large. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Chocolatour takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Chocolatour visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Chocolatour.net, with the drawback that certain features of Chocolatour.net may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Chocolatour encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.
