Privacy Notice
Effective January 1st 2010
Budget Bellhop is an online application that helps people find budget hotels. To accomplish this, people write
comments and reviews about locations that are posted to Budget Bellhop. These
comments and reviews can then be accessed and read by anyone visiting this site.
For the purposes of this Privacy notice, a "user" is defined as someone using the
Budget Bellhop Site.
By using Budget Bellhop, you permit the collection and use of your personal information,
although extremely limited in nature as outlined below in our Privacy notice. You
should visit this page periodically to review any changes to the Privacy notice.
Information We Collect
In order for Budget Bellhop to work properly we log your browser-type related
information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp.
How We Use Your Information
Information such as your full name and any personally identifiable information you
have included in your comments and reviews may be shown to other users in conjunction
with comments and reviews you have contributed.
Browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and
timestamp data help us diagnose problems with our server, administer Budget Bellhop,
and otherwise provide the highest possible level of service to you. In addition,
we use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics
in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to
inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have
been exposed to, or clicked on, their advertising links.
Transfer of Information
We do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information.
Budget Bellhop will disclose information about individual users to governmental
or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or
entities in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes. Further,
Budget Bellhop may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take
action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or to enforce or apply the
terms and conditions of this Privacy notice.
We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a transfer
of ownership of Budget Bellhop, such as an acquisition by or merger with another
company. In such an event, Budget Bellhop will notify you before information about
you is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy notice.
Budget Bellhop will notify you when information about you may be provided to third
parties in ways other than explained above, and you will have the option to prevent
such information sharing.
Links
Our Website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation.
Budget Bellhop does not share your personal information with those Websites and
is not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy
polices on these third party Websites.
Use of Cookies
Like most Websites, Budget Bellhop requires cookies to function properly. Cookies
are small text files that reside on a user's computer and identify you as a unique
user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. You should
be aware that Budget Bellhop cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or
any information advertisers may gather from their use of cookies. If you do not
want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure
in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however,
you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features available
on the Budget Bellhop site.
Controlling Your Personal Information
You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
(e.g., user name, e-mail address) via comments and reviews, messages, forums, postings,
or in other areas of the Budget Bellhop site, that information, along with any
substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated
and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters
or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Budget Bellhop. Please
do not post any personal information on the Budget Bellhop site or in other areas
that you expect to keep private.
Third-Party Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Website. These companies may use information
(not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Websites in order to
provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies,

Security
Budget Bellhop tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry
standard measures to protect your information that is stored within our database.
We limit the access to your information to those employees who need access to perform
their job function. If you have any questions about the security at our Website,
please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized
disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information
that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this
Privacy notice.
You hereby acknowledge that Budget Bellhop is not responsible for any intercepted
information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims
arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized
manner.

This Website is not directed to children, and Budget Bellhop does not knowingly
solicit information from any child under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know
to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only
to respond directly to that child (or a parent or guardian) to inform him or her
that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.
