Social Media Plug-Ins

We may use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Apple iMessage, and may in the future use others. This allows you to communicate with such service and “like” or “comment” on the Platform. The social media plug-in enables a direct communication between your end-user device and the servers of the social media provider, allowing the social media provider to communicate with you and collect information about you browsing our Platform. When you use a social media plug-in, transfer of your personal information may take place whether you have a registered user account with the applicable social media provider or not. We are not responsible for the content and data collection on respective third-party websites or apps. For further information as to how the social network provider processes your data, please see their relevant privacy policies.

Information that May be Publicly Accessible

Certain personal information that you upload to the Platform (such as certain Account profile information), certain User Content, and certain Platform usage information will automatically, or upon your selection, be made publicly available to other Users on the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that certain Account information that you provide in connection with the registration of your Account and your general use of the Platform will be publicly viewable by all Users of the Platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other Users who will view and use this information. You should not disclose your home address or the address of your place of business in any User Content.

Account Registration

The Platform allows you to create an Account via certain Media Login Channels. By using this functionality, you give us permission to access certain elements of your Media Login Channel account profile information that you have made available to be shared, and to use it in accordance with the applicable Media Login Channel’s terms of use and this Privacy Policy.

TROOP does not retain your username or password for Media Login Channels for any longer than is necessary to complete an interaction. If you would like to disconnect a Media Login Channel user account from the Platform, refer to the settings of that social media account and its provider.

Storage and Transfer of Information

Information collected by us may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which we or our agents maintain facilities. By using the Platform, you expressly consent to any such transfer and storage of information outside of your country of residence. We will endeavor to take reasonable measures to maintain an adequate level of data protection when sharing your personal information with such countries.

We strive to keep our processing activities with respect to your personal information as limited as possible. We will retain the information we collect from or about you only as long as necessary to provide you with the Platform or our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal and/or statutory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legal rights. We may retain indefinitely any aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized information.

With respect to any personal information originally collected and stored in the EEA, if and when we transfer your personal information to countries outside the EEA, we will do so under the Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. For a copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses, please contact us at privacy@trooptravel.com.

Exercising Your Right to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by emailing us at privacy@trooptravel.com. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. You may only submit a request to know twice within a twelve (12)-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information, which may include verifying your name, account information, or other relevant details, or by logging into your password-protected account.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within seven (7) business days. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

If you are age sixteen (16) or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). However, TROOP does not sell your personal information, including the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than sixteen (16) years old.

Information Relating to Children

Our Platform is not directed to children under the age of eighteen (18), and we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of eighteen (18) that do not have parental or legal guardian consent to use the Platform. If we ever discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from children under the age of eighteen (18), we will delete it from our records as soon as possible.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the Regulations that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
