We believe your business is no one else's. Your privacy is important to you…and

ELECTRONIC PRODUCT REGISTRATION
When you buy a product, we may ask you to
register your purchase electronically. When you do, we merge your registration information with any information you've
already left with us (we call that information your personal profile). If you
haven't previously registered with us, we create a personal profile for you
from your product registration information. If
you ever want to review or update that information, you can visit your access
card, click on Update access card,
and edit any of the Personal Information in your profile. If you haven't already
created an Access Card, we will ask you to do so. This ensures that only you
can access your information.
CUSTOMER PROFILES
As mentioned above, every registered customer has a unique Access Card “Profile”.
Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number, which helps
us ensure that only you can access your profile.
When you register, we create your profile, assign a personal identification
number, and then send this personal identification number back to your hard
drive in the form of a cookie, which is a very small bit of code. This code
is uniquely yours. It is your passport to seamless travel across www.SpotSeychelles.com
, allowing you to use our services, order free newsletters, and visit premium
sites without having to fill out registration forms with information you've
already provided. Even if you switch computers, you won't have to re-register – just
use your Registration ID to identify yourself.
WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE:
When you join us, you provide us with your contact information, including
your name and email address. We use this information
to send you updates about your order, questionnaires to measure your satisfaction
with our service and announcements about new and exciting services that we offer. When you make
an order on Spot Maldives, you will be asked for your credit card number and
billing address. We use this information only to bill you for the product(s)
you order at that time.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions
about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration.
We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the
service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other
purpose.
