Sometimes (such as when you request to be contacted or book a trip) we will ask you to provide personal information about yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, payment information, and identification card information. We also maintain a record of your online requests or information about your past trips. It is entirely up to you, whether or not you choose to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to access certain services, offers, and content on the Website.
