Collection of Your Personal Information by CBID
Our mission is to provide you with personalized services and offerings designed to enhance your Highway 1 Road Trip experience. To do so effectively, CBID collects the following information:
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. We only collect Personally Identifiable Information about you when you voluntarily provide such Personally Identifiable Information to us by using the Site. This includes engaging in such activities as entering a contest or sweepstakes, signing up for our electronic newsletter or requesting a copy of or publications. If you do not wish your personally identifiable information to be collected, please do not submit it. We do not collect or process sensitive data about you (e.g., race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs).
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.
Information from the Use of “Cookies”: The Site employs “cookie” technology. Cookies are small pieces of data stored in files on your computer allowing us to track your use of the Site as you visit and revisit the Site. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to prevent you from reentering all your data at each connection. If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. Please note that because this is a setting on your browser, this adjustment may also block cookies for any website you visit. You can visit www.aboutcookies.org, which provides detailed information on managing cookies in popular browsers. Blocking cookies may affect your ability to benefit from the conveniences afforded by the use of cookies, may affect your ability to use certain customization features associated with creating an account, and, in the case of cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to operate properly, may affect your experience of the Site.
We collect data from you in different ways. Some of them are direct (for example when you sign up for our newsletter). Others are by visiting the Site or interacting with us even without having an account (such as through social media). Some other information may also be collected by simply visiting an affiliate or sales partner.
Our collection endpoints include when you:
Sign-up for our newsletter;
Make inquiries;
Engage with us on social media;
Communicate with us; and
Automated services and interactions.
As you interact with the Site, we may automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We may also collect tracking data when you use the Website and/or the services, or when you click on one of our adverts.
We may receive personal data about you from various types of third parties, including:
Technical data and/or tracking data from analytics providers, advertising networks and search information providers; and
Identity and contact data from deal and sales partners that you have agreed to share your information with us.
In the future, we may use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our Site. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable Information. We and our third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our Site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
Use of Your Information by CBID
It is our policy not to sell, share, transfer, or rent to third parties any information you provide to us through the use of the Site without your written consent except as required by operation of the law or in compliance with legal authorities; provided, however we may share your Personally Identifiable Information with certain third parties (“Target Third Parties”) without your written consent in order to further the purpose for which you voluntarily provide us with the information. Additionally, we engage third party information management service providers to help maintain efficient operations. Because such information management service providers may access our systems, they may have access to your Personally Identifiable Information. We do not transfer or relinquish ownership of information maintained about you within our systems and databases to such information management service providers and require these information management service providers to sign confidentiality agreements to keep all confidential information and other proprietary information found in our systems confidential.
We routinely collect, compile, and report statistics and information reflecting the use of our Site and information services in order to enhance membership services, advertising services, improve marketing and promotional efforts, analyze the Site usage, improve the Site’s content and layout, generate aggregate reports on trends, interests and behavior and enhance service offerings.
We may be required to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a reasonable belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies. All such sharing of information by you on the Site is done at your own risk.
We use your internet protocol address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the Site. Due to the communications standards on the World Wide Web, when you visit the Site, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you are going when you leave the Site. Additionally, advertisers receive the URL of the page you were on when you click on an advertisement or partner link on the Site. The Site also receives the internet protocol address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, your mobile device (including your unique device identifier) and mobile operating system (if you are accessing the Website using a mobile device), as well as the name of your internet service provider or your mobile carrier.
We reserve the right to take any action we deem prudent or necessary to safeguard the Site and your Personally Identifiable Information in our systems and databases from malicious or unwarranted attack by viruses, hackers, or other miscreants.

For example, we must release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you requested and provide order information to third parties that help us provide customer service.
