U.S. State Privacy Law Notice

This State Privacy Law Notice (“Notice”) is a part of the Trips & More More Privacy Policy and outlines how we handle personal information in accordance with applicable state privacy laws. It applies specifically to residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia (collectively referred to as “consumers,” “you,” or “your”).

Any capitalized or undefined terms used in this Notice carry the meanings provided in our main Privacy Policy or, if not defined there, as defined by the applicable state privacy laws. In cases where state laws use slightly different terminology—such as “personal data” instead of “personal information,” or “data subjects” instead of “consumers”—those terms should be understood as having equivalent meanings within the context of this Notice.

If there is any inconsistency between this Notice and our broader Privacy Policy, this Notice will govern only as it pertains to consumers covered under the relevant state privacy laws and their personal information.

If you reside outside these states, please refer to our general Privacy Policy for more information about how your data is handled.

These include the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act), the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, the Iowa Data Privacy Law, the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, the Montana Consumer Data Protection Act, the Nebraska Data Privacy Act, the New Hampshire Privacy Act, the New Jersey Data Privacy Law, the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, the Tennessee Information Protection Act, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act—where and when those laws are in force (collectively referred to as the “State Privacy Laws”).

Your Rights Under State Privacy Laws

Residents of certain U.S. states are entitled to specific rights concerning their personal information. If you reside in a state with applicable privacy laws, you may exercise the rights outlined below, subject to verification and applicable legal exceptions.

Right to Access
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether Trips & More More is processing your personal information. Upon verification, you may also request access to that information, including specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you. When feasible, we will provide this information in a portable, readily usable format.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) your right to access includes the ability to request:

  • The specific personal information collected about you
  • The categories of personal information collected
  • The sources from which that information was obtained
  • The business or commercial purposes for the collection, sale, or sharing of your personal information
  • The categories of third parties to whom your personal information has been disclosed

Right to Deletion
You may request that we delete personal information we have collected and maintain about you, subject to certain legal exceptions. Once your identity is verified and your request is confirmed, we will delete your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Right to Correction
You also have the right to request corrections to any inaccurate personal information we hold about you. We will make those corrections where appropriate, taking into account the nature of the data and the purpose for which it is processed.

Opt-Out Rights: Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

As a resident of certain U.S. states, you may have the right to opt out of:

  • The sale or sharing of your personal information; and
  • The use of your personal information for targeted advertising.

At Trips & More More, we may disclose certain categories of personal information—such as identifiers, commercial data, and online activity information—to our advertising, marketing, and analytics partners through technologies like cookies, pixels, or similar tracking tools. These disclosures may be interpreted as "sales," "sharing," or processing for "targeted advertising" under applicable state privacy laws.

You can opt out of these practices by using the toggle available through the “Your Privacy Choices” link, which appears in the footer of our website for users located in states that require this option. Alternatively, you can exercise your opt-out rights by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser. Learn more at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

In some instances, we may use your email address with advertising and analytics partners (such as social platforms or ad networks) for campaign targeting. To opt out of this type of use, you may submit a request via our Email Opt-Out Form. Please note this does not unsubscribe you from our promotional emails—you will need to manage those preferences separately.

These opt-outs apply at the browser level and are specific to each website or device you use. In cases where our service providers are contractually limited to process your information only on our behalf, certain opt-out rights may not apply.

Exercising Your Privacy Rights

If you would like to exercise your rights to access, delete, or correct your personal information as outlined above, you may do so by contacting Trips & More More through one of the following methods:

  • Emailing us: Send your request to [email protected] and follow any instructions provided in our response.
  • Calling us: You can reach us by phone at [Insert Phone Number].

To opt out of the sale, sharing, or targeted advertising involving your personal information, please use the "Your Privacy Choices" link located in the footer of our website or enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) setting in your browser. For email-based advertising opt-outs, you may use our [Email Opt-Out Form] (link to be provided).

Verifying Your Request

Only you—or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf—may submit a request concerning your personal information. For requests involving access, deletion, correction, or in some cases, opt-outs (especially if we suspect fraudulent activity or require additional verification), we must first confirm your identity before processing the request.

To verify your identity, we may ask you to provide enough information for us to reasonably confirm that you are the individual whose personal information we collected or that you are an authorized representative (such as providing a prior booking reference, verification that an agent is authorized, or using an email address you control).

We will use the information you provide solely for the purpose of verifying your request. If we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request, we may be unable to fulfill it or disclose the requested personal information.

Please be aware that we may keep a record of your request for our records. Additionally, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or decline to act if a request is found to be excessive, repetitive, or clearly unfounded.

Appeals and Non-Discrimination

If we decline to take action on a request you’ve submitted to exercise your privacy rights, residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia have the right to appeal our decision in accordance with their respective State Privacy Laws.

Additionally, Trips & More More will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights described in this notice. That said, please be aware that certain rights—such as the right to delete personal information—may affect our ability to provide specific services. For example, if your information is required to process a booking or maintain your account, exercising your rights may limit our ability to offer the same level of service or continue certain interactions.

How to File an Appeal

To appeal a privacy request denial under US State Privacy Law, you need to follow the process outlined in Trips & More More’s privacy policy or a related "Location Specific Privacy Rights and Information Notice". If your appeal is denied, you may file a complaint with your state's Attorney General. 

Here's an outline of the process to file an appeal if we deny your request to exercise as described in this notice.

  1. Review the Denial: Carefully examine the denial notice you receive from our end. It details the reasons for the denial and outlines the next steps for appealing. 
  2. Identify the Appeal Process: The denial notice or our privacy policy specifies how to file an appeal. Here’s how you can do that:
  • You may contact Trips & More More via email, phone, or the address provided in the notice for submitting an appeal. 
  • You may use a specific form, like Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion for certain decisions. 
  • You may visit Trips & More More’s online portal or fill out an online form in order to initiate appeals. 
  1. Gather Supporting Information: Prepare any documents or information that supports your appeal, such as: your original request, the denial notice, and any relevant evidence or documentation that strengthens your case.
  2. Submit the Appeal: Follow the above instructions and submit your appeal. Make sure you meet all deadlines and requirements mentioned in the notice. 
  3. Attorney General Complaint (if applicable): If we deny your appeal, or you are not satisfied with our appeals process, you can file a complaint with the state's Attorney General. 

If Trips & More More denies your request for data privacy, then as per the U.S. State Privacy Law Notice, you have 45 days to file an appeal, with a possible 45 days extension, if we provide you any extension within the initial timeframe. Besides that, we have an internal appeal process that is quite easy for you to use.

Retention Period

Trips & More More retains your personal information based on the nature of our relationship with you, the type of data collected, and what we believe is reasonably necessary and proportionate to deliver our services and meet our legal and business needs. Factors we consider when determining how long to retain your personal data include:

  • Whether you hold a Trips & More More account and how often you book travel, log in, or have unused loyalty points or vouchers.
  • The need to analyze historical booking and travel trends to help tailor relevant travel deals and pricing.
  • Whether you’ve opted in to receive marketing communications and how you interact with them (e.g., email opens or link clicks).
  • Requirements for protecting the security and integrity of our Services, including fraud prevention and cybersecurity.
  • Fulfillment of your transactions and post-transaction needs such as refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, customer support, or dispute resolution.
  • Compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, such as document retention laws and limitation periods.
  • Situations where we may need the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to respond to regulatory inquiries or similar matters.

There is no uniform “data retention schedule” as per the U.S. State Privacy Law Notice. It might range from a few years to indefinite, depending on the type of data and the specific law.

Financial Incentives and Loyalty Program

California (CCPA) Notice: When you create an account with Trips & More More, you may be eligible to participate in our loyalty program, offered through our rewards partner, which allows you to earn points redeemable for travel-related benefits, as outlined in the program’s terms and conditions. In exchange, we collect certain categories of personal information, such as identifiers (e.g., your name and email address) and commercial information (e.g., booking activity), which we use to manage your participation and offer personalized benefits.

Participation is voluntary, and you may opt out at any time by discontinuing your use of the loyalty program or by deleting your account. Choosing not to participate means you will no longer accrue or redeem rewards.

When a price or service difference is offered as part of the program, that difference is reasonably based on our good-faith estimate of the value of your personal information. This value is determined by analyzing the costs associated with administering the program and the benefits you receive, as well as the revenue or value generated through use of the information (e.g., marketing effectiveness, customer retention).

Colorado Loyalty Program Disclosure: When enrolling in our loyalty program, we may collect your email address and certain demographic information. This data may be shared with program partners (e.g., airlines, hotels, or airports) as needed to fulfill your rewards. Additionally, this information may be used for targeted advertising and may be disclosed to our marketing and advertising partners for that purpose.

Please note that if you choose to delete your account, you will lose access to any accrued rewards, and you must create a new account to rejoin the program. This loyalty program notice applies only to personal data collected as part of signing up for the program and does not extend to data collected through other interactions with Trips & More More, such as general bookings.
