General

TravelWellTripPlanning.com is a travel website and blog owned and operated by Maureen Zeljak. The site is not at all associated with my employer but rather simply a personal communication tool I use to share my travel knowledge based upon my experience not only as a AAA Travel Counselor, but also my years managing corporate travel and my own personal travel experiences.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We may revise and update this Privacy Policy if our practices change, as technology changes, or as we add new services or change existing ones. If we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, or we are going to use any personal information in a manner that is materially different from that stated in our Privacy Policy at the time we collected such information, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to consent to the change. If you do not consent, your personal information will be used as agreed to under the terms of the privacy policy in effect at the time we obtained that information. By using our Site or services after the Effective Date, you are deemed to consent to our then-current privacy policy. We will use information previously obtained in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect when the information was obtained from you.

Accuracy of Information

While we shall endeavor to ensure that all information on the Site is accurate, we cannot vouch that all information will be accurate and up-to-date at all times.

Non-Guarantee of Results

You agree that we have not made any guarantees about the results of taking any action, whether recommended on this Website or not.

In such states, our liability and the liability of our parent companies or affiliates is limited to the fullest extent permitted by such state law.) You specifically acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of any user.
