YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

This section describes your CPRA rights and explains how to exercise those rights:

Right To Know

You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CPRA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that TravelBank disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing the personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we disclose that personal information.
• The categories of personal information that each recipient received.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

You have the right to receive this information in a format, to the extent technically feasible, that is portable, usable, and allows you to transmit the personal information to a person without impediment, where the processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to Request Deletion

You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CPRA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that TravelBank delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request we will delete (and direct the recipients of your personal information to delete) your personal information from our records.

Right to Correct Your Personal Information:

You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CPRA and other applicable laws and regulations, to submit a request to correct any inaccurate personal information that we may have about you. To correct your information, please email privacy@travelbank.com.

Right to Opt-out of Sharing or Selling:

We use technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other similar technologies, that gather information on our website. That information is used for a variety of purposes, such as to understand how visitors interact with our websites, or to serve advertisements on our websites or on other websites. The use of technologies, such as cookies, constitutes a ‘share’ or ‘sale’ of personal information under the CPRA. You can stop the use of certain third-party tracking technologies that are not considered our service providers by clicking the “Opt-Out” button below or by clicking on “Your California Privacy Choices” at the bottom of California Privacy. Note that due to technological limitations, if you visit our website from a different computer or device, or clear cookies on your browser that store your preferences, you will need to return to this screen to opt-out and/or rebroadcast the signal.

We also treat opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control, as valid requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. An opt-out preference signal is a signal that is sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism on your behalf that communicates your choice to opt-out of the sharing for targeted advertisements or sale of your personal information. You can learn more about implementing opt-out preference signals by visiting the Global Privacy Control website here or by exploring other developing technologies and services that offer this tool.

OPT-OUT

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us through the following method:

• To request the details of the personal information that TravelBank has about you and to request access, to that information please email travelbankdatarequests@usbank.com.  Please include the following information in the request:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Street Address
  • City
  • State
  • Postal Code
  • Email
  • Phone Number

• Once received, TravelBank must use reasonable methods to verify the identity of the requestor before responding. If we cannot verify the requestor, we will either deny the request or ask for additional identifying information. TravelBank will respond within 45 days of the request unless additional time is required.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will generally verify your identity by asking you to provide personal information related to your recent interactions with us. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Requests by Authorized Agents

You may exercise your privacy rights through an authorized agent. If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.

Nondiscrimination

You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of your privacy rights. This includes us not: (a) denying you goods or services; (b) charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; (c) providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; (d) suggesting to you that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services; and (e) retaliating against you for exercising your privacy rights.
