When you use Visa Signature Concierge, we also may collect certain standard information from your browser and personal computer that websites often collect, such as your IP address, your browser information (including browser type, capabilities and language), your operating system and the date and time you accessed Visa Signature Concierge. We also capture the country from which the visit came and the paths taken as you move from one website or webpage to another website or webpage (i.e., your "click stream" activity). We may use certain or all of this information to identify you in future visits to the Website. We may group some or all of this information into aggregate data in order to describe the use of Visa Signature Concierge by our users to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response to a government request.

Browsing and the use of cookies, Web beacons and other tracking technologies; mash-ups and log

Visa uses cookie technology as part of Visa Signature Concierge’s statistical reporting and for other purposes related to making Visa Signature Concierge available to you. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's browser. It holds information a website may need to personalize your experience (such as, rotating images on the home page of the website).

We also utilize cookies to identify if you are logged into your Visa Signature Concierge account, including for purposes of providing certain features of Visa Signature Concierge to you. Cookies may be operable for varying periods of time, depending on the Visa Signature Concierge feature or features with which they are associated.

If you prefer, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie and privacy preferences. However, if you reject cookies, your use of Visa Signature Concierge will be materially impaired or may altogether preclude your use of Visa Signature Concierge.

A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a single-pixel or clear GIF, placed in the code of a webpage or in emails. The Website uses Web beacons to track traffic patterns of users as they navigate from one page to another. This information lets us tune and improve our users' browsing experience. The information that Web beacons collect is aggregated, anonymous "click stream" data, and is not associated with you as an individual.

We also use Web beacons through a third party website analytics provider, as well as standard Web server log files, to help us count visitors and evaluate the Website's technical capacity. This information tells us how many people visit the Website, and helps us decide how to arrange pages in the most user-friendly way. This also helps us keep the Website browser-friendly and more useful to our users. We record information on Website traffic, but not on individual visitors to the Website, so no Personal Information about you will be kept or used.

Surveys

From time to time, Visa may conduct surveys through the Website using a third-party service provider. If you choose to participate unless otherwise noted in the applicable rules, terms and conditions, or disclaimers we may use the information you provide in to publish survey results in aggregate on the site. Except where necessary to administer the survey, unless you have otherwise agreed or unless required by law, we will not share or publish any response you give connected to your name or address. We will hold these responses only as anonymous statistics.

Questions and Comments via Email

When you send us a comment or question via email, we use your email address to thank you for your comment or reply to your question. We store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further. Beyond our initial reply, we will not use your email address to send you any unsolicited message or information, nor will we share it with, or sell it to, anyone else for such use, other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.

The privacy policies of these third party websites, content and resources may be very different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the providers of these other websites, content and resources and cannot guarantee the security of any of your Personal Information collected, used or shared there.

Our policy regarding selling or renting of Personal Information
