WildSeeker Privacy Policy

WildSeeker is committed to ensuring your privacy. We provide this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way information is collected and used. We will only use the information we collect for the purposes of enhancing your experience with WildSeeker and providing you with a more personalized adventure travel research process. At no time will we sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties without your permission.

WildSeeker Membership
When navigating the site, you may wish to register as a WildSeeker member. Registering allows you to take advantage of our unique, personalized features and services. Upon registering, you will be asked to provide your name, e-mail address, and a unique password. You may also elect to provide us with your address, gender, age range, profession, and annual income, along with personal interests and preferences. This information is collected for personal identification, as well as demographic purposes, and also allows you access to your own account and various WildSeeker features. You can revise your WildSeeker membership information at any time by signing in to WildSeeker using your e-mail address and password and going to your Profile page.

If you use our Tell A Friend or Member Referral program to refer your friends, we will only use their email addresses to send the Tell A Friend announcement. We will not add them to a mailing list, and will not send them further e-mail unless they register and choose to receive such communications from us per this privacy policy.

WildSeeker Featured Trips and Special Deals
WildSeeker members can request that WildSeeker monitor Featured Trips and/or Special Deals offered by participating outfitters for them at no charge via the Featured Trips/Special Deals WildSeeker service. For the Featured Trips/Special Deals service, WildSeeker will require that you enter any one of a number of fields including where you want to go (region or country), the month, day and year for when you want to leave, your flexibility with your departure dates (defaults to 'Very Flexible'), the trip activity that you are interested in (defaults to 'All Activities'), and the cancellation period for the Featured Trips/Special Deals service (defaults to 'Never'). WildSeeker will respond to your Featured Trips/Special Deals Request with periodic e-mail messages to your WildSeeker e-mail address. You may, at any time, decline to receive these e-mail updates by replying to any e-mail with 'REMOVE' in the subject line. Use of this service is completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to use the Featured Trips/Special Deals Request and disclose the necessary information.

When you register to become a WildSeeker member, you may also elect to provide us with information such as your address, city, state, preferred phone number, travel activities of interest to you and places to which you would like to travel. This information is used to allow you to receive mailings from WildSeeker, or to be contacted as requested. Additionally, the interest information allows us to further personalize your WildSeeker experience, to customize the content of our site and e-mail messages to meet your specific needs, and to make product improvements to WildSeeker. We may also use this data in aggregate to generate market research and reports. You can also revise these details of your WildSeeker membership registration information at any time by signing in to WildSeeker using your e-mail address and password and going to your Profile page.

As a WildSeeker member, you may choose to occasionally receive e-mail updates from us, our partners, or third party affiliated entities, including newsletters, special offers we think you will find valuable, important changes to the functionality of the Web site, and new WildSeeker services. These e-mail updates and offers may be sent or personalized based on information you provided in WildSeeker membership transactions, in surveys, and from information provided that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle. You may, at any time, decline to receive these e-mail notifications by signing in to WildSeeker using your e-mail address and password and going to the Profile page or by replying to any e-mail with 'REMOVE' in the subject line.
