2. Collection of your personal data

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified, electronic addresses, date of birth, password, and payment information. It does not include data where the identity has been removed or otherwise anonymized (anonymous data).

In the course of our business, we collect and process personal data in different ways. We may collect personal data you give us directly but we also collect data by logging how you interact with our services. For example by using cookies on our Websites. We may also receive information from third parties who partner with us, as more fully described below.

The personal data we collect about you may include, but is not limited to: your name, email address, postal address, phone number, billing information, survey responses, booking details and other information you may provide about yourself to our Websites, and your IP address and web browser software. 

You can choose not to provide us with your personal data. However, in general, you need to provide us with certain information about you in order to take advantage of many features of the Websites.  For example, only registered members are able to post travel reviews, participate in discussion forums, email cactus content to themselves and others, access members-only newsletters and travel planning content, and enter surveys, contests, or sweepstakes. In addition, some information is also required in order for you to ask us a question or initiate other transactions on our Websites. We also collect personal data for security purposes.

Information that you provide us: as described below, we may receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us in any other way.

Information About Others: You will have the opportunity to provide contact and travel-related information for other people through our Websites. If you use the website on behalf of someone else, you will need to submit that individual's personal data. You must obtain the consent of other individuals prior to providing us with their personal data. If another Cactus member grants you access to their data through a shared password, you should treat that information appropriately.

Information from Other Sources: We also may periodically obtain information about you from affiliated entities, business partners and other independent third-party sources and add it to other information about you. For example, if you visit Cactus from one of our affiliate business, and you have registered with that partner, then information about you that you have provided to that partner may be shared with us, such as contact information and demographic information. As another example, if you access third-party services, such as social media services, through our Websites or before coming to our Websites, we may collect information such as your username and other information made available to us through those services in accordance with the referring third party’s privacy policy. We will work with our existing partners and potential future partners to improve and personalize your use of our Websites in accordance with the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

​

Automatic collection of information: We automatically collect some information from your computer or mobile device when you visit Cactus. For example, we collect your session data, including your IP address, the navigation software used, and the reference site. We may also collect information about your online activity, such as reviewed content, pages visited, and searches. We automatically collect this type of information to try to better understand your interests and preferences and to better personalize your experience.  We also collect personal data in order to help protect our site and other users from misuse.

Location information and other information from devices: When you use our Websites on a device, whether through mobile web or application, we will collect and use information about you in generally similar ways and for similar purposes as when you use the Cactus Website. In addition, we may collect certain information about your location if you have instructed your Device to send such information to the application via the privacy settings on that device, or if you have uploaded photos tagged with location information. For example, we may use your location to inform you of contacts, trade partners, warehouses near you. You can change the privacy settings of your device at any time in order to turn off the functionality to share location information with the application and/or the functionality to tag your photos with location information. Please note that turning off location sharing may affect certain features of our application or mobile experience. If you have any queries about the privacy settings of your device, we suggest you contact the manufacturer of your device or your mobile service provider for help.
