For information about removing or rejecting cookies, please see "Your Information Choices" below.
Information We Collect from Other Sources
We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example, if you create or log into your TourSleeper account through a third-party social networking site, we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, profile picture, connections, and other account information in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such third-party social networking sites.
Some of this information may be shared with other users. For example, they may be able to see your connections who are also TourSleeper users. Please see "Your Information Choices" below for more information about how to manage your sharing preferences.
How Do We Use this Information?
We use information about you for purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise disclosed to you on or in connection with our Services. For example, we may use information about you to:

We will not share information about you with third parties except as described below or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy:
- With your consent, including if we notify you through our Services that the information you provide will be shared in a particular manner and you subsequently agree to provide such information;

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Social Media Tools
TourSleeper may offer social sharing features or other integrated tools which let you share actions you take on our Services with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of certain information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these social sharing features. TourSleeper may also allow you to access Google Maps. Please note that when you use Google Maps, you are subject to Google's privacy policy, as amended by Google from time to time.
Third Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services as part of our Services. These third parties may have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the activities of these third parties and how they collect, use or share information about you. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Services and welcome any feedback about these third parties.
Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others
We may allow third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services in relation to the use of our Services. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address and information about your web browser and operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by TourSleeper and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites and better understand your online activity.
Please note that we may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in a hashed, non-human readable form, with these third parties. For example, we may engage a third party data provider who may collect web log data from you or place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. These cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to information you voluntarily provide to us (e.g., an email address) in a hashed, non-human readable form. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices.
How Do We Protect Visitor Information?
TourSleeper takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no method of data storage or transmission can ever be one hundred percent secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information that you transmit to us or that we store on your behalf.
Your Information Choices
Privacy Settings
You may change your privacy settings and determine whether certain information about you will be shared with others by navigating to your profile on our website and editing your "Personal Designations."
Account Information
You may update or correct information about you or deactivate your account at any time by logging into your account and editing your profile. Even after you deactivate your account, we may retain certain information as required by law, for legitimate business purposes and to protect member safety.
Location Information via Mobile Device
You have the ability to turn location-based services on and off by adjusting the settings of your Internet browser or mobile device and by following the standard uninstall process and removing TourSleeper's application from your device. Doing so, however, may mean that you cannot use all or a portion of our Services.
Cookies
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. However, you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser's help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies, or visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note, however, that our Services may not function properly if your browser does not accept cookies.
Promotional Communications
You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from TourSleeper by following the instructions in those emails or by adjusting the appropriate settings in your profile. If you opt out, we may still send you transactional or relationship messages, such as emails about your account.
Data Erasure
Deleting your account is a permanent deletion of your personal data and closure of your TourSleeper account. It can't be reversed. You can delete your account and its data by contacting us at help@toursleeper.com.

Once your request is processed, your personal information will be permanently deleted (except for certain information that we are legally required or permitted to retain, as outlined in our Privacy Policy). Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:
  • We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention, and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a TourSleeper account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that TourSleeper account to prevent that member from opening a new TourSleeper account in the future.
  • We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, TourSleeper and TourSleeper payments may keep information for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.
  • Information you have shared with others (e.g Reviews, forum postings) will continue to be publicly visible on TourSleeper, even after your TourSleeper account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
  • Because we take measures to protect data from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.
