Privacy policies are a vital part of any website or company. They’re there to protect your personal information and keep you informed about how your data will be used. But even with all the important information on a privacy policy page, sometimes things can go wrong. In this blog post, we’ll explore some common mistakes that companies make with their privacy policies and what you can do to avoid them. ###

Orbitz takes commercially reasonable steps to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, destruction or unauthorized disclosure.

We work hard to address these incidents promptly and take appropriate action to prevent them from happening again.

What rights do you have with respect to your personal information?
Your right to privacy is a fundamental human right that you are entitled to regardless of where you are in the world. The law which protects your privacy varies from country to country, but the basic principle is always the same: you have the right to control how your personal information is used.
You have the right to know what personal information about you is being collected and why it is being collected.
You have the right to change or delete your personal information if it is inaccurate or if you no longer want it used for the purpose for which it was originally collected.
You have the right to receive notice if your personal information is being shared with a third party without your consent.
If you feel that your privacy has been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Please include your full name, mailing address, and the specific information you would like to have removed. We will respond promptly with instructions on how to make the changes.
What about security of my personal information?
When you create an account with a website, you are giving the website permission to store your information. This information can include your name, email address, and other personal information. Websites may also use this information to send you newsletters or other messages.
Some websites may also allow you to post comments or reviews. If you choose to do this, your comments and reviews are public and can be seen by anyone who visits the website https://uniquethinks.com/.
Some websites may also collect data about how you use their services. This data can include your browsing history, IP addresses, and other technical information.
Website operators can sometimes share data they collect about users with other companies or governments for purposes such as marketing or advertising. Websites that share user data may also charge users for access to their services.
It is important to remember that no website is completely immune from security breaches. In addition, some browsers (like Firefox) allow you to selectively disable cookies which could prevent some types of tracking by websites [source: Mozilla].
Conclusion
As the world becomes ever-more connected, it is important for businesses to have a privacy policy page that outlines their practices with regard to user data. This page should be prominently displayed and easily accessible to your customers so that they are fully aware of what information you collect and why. By implementing a privacy policy page, you can reassure your customers that their personal data will be treated respectfully and in line with your company’s policies. Thank you for reading!
