SEEKING SERVICES OR BOOKING WITH THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS / ADVERTISERS (Travel Enablers) featured in TRIPMEMO®

1.   TripMemo® offers you the ability to search for, select, and book travel reservations with advertisers and third-party suppliers without leaving the services. All such third parties or travel enablers are registered users of TripMemo®. However, they also might have entered into additional but separate agreements for the paid services used within the TripMemo® network.

2.   By requesting a quote, itinerary, information, booking a service, or any interaction regarding such matters via the websites from an advertiser, you accept the practices described in our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. Besides, you warrant, either in your capacity as an individual or a Business Representative, that you are 18 years of age or older, possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and use the services (including the TripMemo® and Grasshopper365 booking facilitation services) in accordance with this Agreement, and that all information you supply is true and accurate. You further agree that you will use the TripMemo® and Grasshopper365 interactive business or booking facilitation services only to make legitimate enquiries or reservations for you or others for whom you are legally authorised to act. Any false or fraudulent enquiry, request, or reservation is prohibited, and any user who attempts such actions may have his or her account terminated and he/she/they will be liable to the travel enablers for the losses incurred due to his/her/their actions.

AS A USER OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING TRIPMEMO® COMPANIES’ BOOKING FACILITATION SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT:

(1)   TRIPMEMO® WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY ENQUIRIES OR TRANSACTIONS MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT.

(2) THE UNAUTHORISED USE OF YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO TRIPMEMO®, ITS CORPORATE AFFILIATES, AND/OR OTHERS.

(3) TRIPMEMO® IS NOT AN INTERMEDIARY IN ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS AND YOU SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FINANCIAL OR NON-FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF ANY TRANSACTIONS OR COMMITMENTS  YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO, WITH ANY USERS OF TRIPMEMO® OR TRAVEL ENABLERS, SUCH AS GUIDES, TRAVEL COMPANIES, ACCOMMODATIONS, CONSULTANTS, RENTAL COMPANIES OR WITH ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVES, ADVERTISERS, OR BUSINESS ENTITIES WHO USE OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR SOFTWARE TOOL NAMED AS ‘GRASSHOPPER365365’ WHICH IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION AS A BUSINESS LEAD GENERATOR/BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TOOL.

When you use our platform to interact with advertisers worldwide who have showcased their business and services on TripMemo®, and you make your payments directly to those marketers whomyou carefully select, it is to be noted that such advertisers are also registered members of TripMemo® and are equallybound by this agreement. However, they may have additional agreements with TripMemo’s companies for the tools and softwarethat they may use to offer business services in our platforms. We may collect your payment information that is directly transmitted to the supplier through TripMemo® in order to complete the transaction, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please note that the supplier (not TripMemo®) is responsible for requesting, receiving, processing, storing, and confirming your payment and thereby fulfilling your reservation and their offers.

TripMemo® shall not interfere with any communication or reservation arrangements between you and travel enablers arbitrarily. However, we reserve the right to withdraw booking facilitation services because of certain extenuating circumstances, like in the case of an advertiser who stopped using our software or tools, such as Grasshopper365 or that he/they/she/ has violated the terms of services for using TripMemo® and its products, including Grasshopper365.

 

TripMemo® also reserves the right to take steps to verify your identity before processing your use of the services or reservation request.

In the unlikely event that a reservation is available when you place an order but becomes unavailable prior to the arrival or transfer of part or full payment, your sole remedy will be to contact the supplier to make alternative arrangements or to cancel your reservation or even to claim compensation as per the terms of services you have agreed to, on interacting with that particular advertiser. TripMemo® shall not be responsible for any such incidents or shall not mediate any settlement between you and the advertiser.

TripMemo® is NOT a travel agency, OTA, intermediary, or an agent for the users of TripMemo® services. Hence, we do not provide or own travel guides, consultancies, transportation means, accommodations, restaurants, rental services, tours, activities, or experiences in any form, directly or indirectly.

Although TripMemo® displays information about properties owned by advertisers or third-party suppliers, and facilitates interactions or reservations with certain suppliers via TripMemo® or its affiliated websites, such actions do not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute TripMemo’s sponsorship or approval of third-party suppliers, or any affiliation between TripMemo® and third-party suppliers. Although the account holders may rate and review the various transportation guiding, tour services, accommodations, restaurants, tours, activities, or experiences based on their views, TripMemo® does not endorse or recommend those products/services of any third-party suppliers, except that we issue certain businesses awards based on the reviews posted by these account holders. TripMemo® does not endorse any content (ratings, opinions, or recommendations) posted, submitted, or otherwise provided by any user or business. TripMemo® companies disclaim all liabilities in connection with such content. TripMemo® is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from third-party suppliers to be displayed on the services.

If you book a service or reservation with an advertiser in TripMemo® or a third-party supplier, you also agree to review and stay bound by the advertiser/supplier’s terms and conditions of purchase, website-use, privacy policy, and all rules or policies related to their site or property. Your interactions with the advertisers/third-party suppliers are at your own risk. TripMemo® shall have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any third-party suppliers or for even any personal injuries, death, property-damages, or expenses resulting from your interactions with them.

The services may contain links to the websites of suppliers or others that TripMemo® does not operate or control.

TripMemo® or its corporate affiliates are not parties to Guiding, Tour Management, Tour Booking, Accommodation Services, Travel Consultancy, Holiday Rental Transactions, Restaurant Reservations, etc. between travellers and the advertisers/suppliers. We are neither a part of any dispute or conflict involving an actual or potential transaction between you and an advertiser/supplier, or even regarding the quality, condition(s), safety or legality of a listed Tour Guide, Tour Management, Items Rental, Holiday Rental, Restaurant, Experience, or any travel enabling services and the accuracy of the listing content, the advertiser’s ability to conduct a tour, quality of services, conditions of your engagement and safety with the advertiser, and other terms and conditions. These are solely the responsibility of each user and advertiser.

Some ofTripMemo’s corporate affiliates, including the international payment gateways, may act as a limited agent to the advertiser/supplier, solely for the purpose of transmitting your payment. You agree to pay any specified fee(s) charged by the advertiser/ supplier for any of their service or experience. The payment is to be made either to the advertiser/supplier or a TripMemo® Corporate Affiliate acting as the limited payment collection agent on behalf of the advertiser/supplier. You shall read, understand, and agree with the terms, conditions, and privacy policy of such corporate affiliates before engaging with them and also understand and agree that TripMemo® is NOT and SHALL NOT BE responsible for any such transaction. You or your organisation shall be solely responsible for the outcomes of any nature/type, including data and financial lossfrom such transactions if any.

USER-RESPONSIBITIES DURING THE TRAVEL

When you book a service of our advertisers or plan a trip using the services, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet all local/foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, including IDs/passports and visas, are in order.

For passport and visa requirements, please consult the relevant embassy or consulate for information. As the requirements may change at any time, be sure to check for updated information before booking and departure. TripMemo® accepts no liability for travellers who have been denied the entry onto a flight or any other means of transportation to any country because the traveller failed to carry the necessary travel documents required by any airline, transportation company, authority, or country, including the countries which the traveller may be passing through en route to his/her/their destination.

Before you travel abroad, it is also your responsibility to consult a physician for current recommendations on inoculations to ensure that you meet all health requirements and to follow all medical guidance related to your trip.

Although most of the trips, including those to international destinations, are completed without mishaps or other unfortunate incidents, it is to be noted that certain destinations, however, may involve higher risks than the others. TripMemo® urges all travellers to investigate and review the travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by their governments and the destination country’s governments prior to booking the travel to international destinations. For example, information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated while travelling to certain international destinations is provided by the United States Government.

BY LISTING THE RELEVANT INFORMATION FOR THE TRAVEL TO CERTAIN INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS, TRIPMEMO® DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVELLING TO SUCH POINTS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK. TRIPMEMO® IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVELLING TO SUCH DESTINATIONS.

SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IN NO EVENT SHALL TRIPMEMO®  (OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND/OR EMPLOYEES) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES; OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSSES OF INCOME, PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, HEALTH, CONTRACTS, USE OF MONEY, DEATH OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED IN ANY WAY TO A BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OF ANY TYPE, LINKED TO YOUR ACCESS TO, DISPLAY OF OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS, DISPLAY OR USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR RELIANCE UPON THE REVIEWS AND OPINIONS APPEARING ON THE SERVICES), OR TO ANY VIRUSES, BUGS, TROJAN HORSES, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, LINKED SITES, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TRIPMEMO® COMPANIES’ SYNCHRONISATION PRODUCT), PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES’ SERVERS AND/OR ANY PERSONAL/FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN. TRIPMEMO® IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY ERRORS/OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT (OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE ACCESS TO, DISPLAY OF OR USE OF THE SERVICES) WHETHER BASED ON A THEORY OF NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF TRIPMEMO® OR ITS CORPORATE AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

If TripMemo® is found liable for any loss or damage that arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the services, the liability will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the fee paid to TripMemo® Companies for the transaction(s) on or through the services giving rise to the claim, or (b) ten US Dollars (US $10.00).

The limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these terms is found to have been failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these terms inure to the benefit of the TripMemo® Companies.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE FOREGOING LIABILITY DISCLAIMER DO NOT AFFECT THE MANDATORY LEGAL RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS PREVALENT IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES.

IF THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU LIVE DOES NOT ALLOW ANY PARTICULAR LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS CLAUSE, IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED APPLICABLE. THE LIABILITY DISCLAIMER WILL OTHERWISE APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend and indemnify TripMemo® and any of their officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, or other expenses of any nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of:

You agree that all claims you may have against TripMemo® arising from or relating to the services must be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Cochin, Kerala, India. The use of services is unauthorised in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, in this paragraph. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of TripMemo® to take proceedings against you in any other court(s) of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent that the applicable law in your country of residence requires application of another law and/or jurisdiction – in particular, if you are using the services as a consumer – and this cannot be excluded by contract and will not be governed by the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, if otherwise applicable.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Data & Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

TripMemo® has a strong commitment to the protection of your privacy. Our Privacy Policy specifically explains how we deal with the personal data collected from our website users. We have carefully formulated this set of information for your clear understanding of our services, the choices available in the use of your personal information, and how you could access as well as update your data.

The capitalised terms which are not defined in the Privacy Policy can be found as clarified in our Terms of Use. A copy of the same is available at www.tripmemo.com.

TripMemo® suggests you to have a read on the Privacy Policy.

What is TripMemo®?

The affiliated services and the software of TripMemo® by itself belong to two of the registered entities under TripMemo®. They are: (1) TripMemo (UK) Limited, incorporated under the laws of United Kingdom with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Convent Gardens, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom and (2) TripMemoTechnologies Pvt LTD which has been established under the laws of Republic of India, with its registered office in Villas7, Golden Dew, Vennala P.O. , Cochin -28, India.

TripMemo® takes its form as both a website (www.tripmemo.com) and mobile applications (iOS and Android). TripMemo® is loaded with user-friendly attributes like creating lists, and our features, i.e. attributes that TripMemo® makes available, such as the ability for users to create/manage lists, posts, bookings, referrals, forums, quotations, itineraries, etc. It also makes the space interesting with Loyalty Points (polo coins), content based on destinations, species and attractions, advertisers' details, videos, raring systems, trips, quotes, tips, wish lists, reviews, photos sourced from users, and smooth widgets that facilitate a systematic and hassle-free user experience.

User Agreement

The user terms and conditions pertaining to the services provided by TripMemo® are contained in the Terms of Use at www.tripmemo.com, as may be amended from time to time. Capitalised terms in our Privacy Policy not herein defined shall contain their explanations in the Terms of Use.

User Consent

The submission of your personal information to our sites and mobile applications  reveals your consent towards the collection, disclosure, and use of those data in accordance with our privacy policy. Our services are offered to individuals above 4 years of age. However, certain facets that are connected to the use of alcohol consumption are allowed only to users above 18 years. Hence, we have imposed age restrictions as per the nature of each feature.

What type of User Data is collected?

Account Information

We receive and process the details you provide to us during your account creation. The following information is collected and processed once you become a user of TripMemo® or TripMemo Go mobile applications: 

• Full Name
• Date of Birth
• Nationality
• Residential Address
• Email address
• City where the Account was created

As applicable as in:

• Social media user name such as in Facebook, Google or Apple id
• Third-party login credentials (Refer ‘Data Received from Third Parties’ below)
• Your language preferences
• Passport or other ID proofs

On processing these personal data, TripMemo® gives you access to its services. TripMemo® processes these personal data to create your account and to allow you to avail the services.

User Data

As you interact with us and use our services, we may collect other data that you directly provide to us as a user, which includes:

• Pictures that you upload to your account
• Destination details like their major sites, species, people, experiences, business, advertisers’ searches, and the like
• Your listing of species seen and/or photographed (or caught, in the case of fishing)
• Cities and destinations visited
• Attractions
• Reviews
• Loyalty Points
• Your travel preferences (e.g. Bird watching, Snorkelling etc.)
• Your likes, comments and suggestions
• People you follow
• Advertisements placed by both TripMemo® members and third-party suppliers, which you have interacted with
• Trips and journals created by you
• Your edits regarding Destination / Location / Sites / Species

TripMemo® processes this data to promote optimisation and the user’s interaction with fellow users or advertisers. The processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo® to facilitate content creation and communication between users and advertisers.

Ordering Data

When you order products or services advertised in TripMemo®, you may have to provide personal information necessary to the advertiser or third parties such as payment gateways to complete the transaction, including the details of:

• Credit/Debit card
• ID proof
• Flight
• Shipping
• Billing

TripMemo® shall not be responsible for any such data as you will be directly sending them using third-party service providers. We do not keep the dates of your transactions in our server systems (please refer to Terms of Service agreement for more details). You are expected to note the advertisers' Terms & Conditions and Data & Privacy Policies before you proceed with any such transactions.

Though we do not track or keep your credit card name, number, passwords, or transaction details, we may keep a copy of the required transaction confirmation from the payment gateways for our records and to measure our internal arrangements with such payment gateways or advertisers, if any. 

Location Data

Some features and functionalities in TripMemo® require that you provide your location. This section explains when and how we use your location data.

The information we collect in order to determine your location consists of your location and/or IP address whenever you interact with, or use, our services (e.g. open the app, visit our website, etc.). We use various technologies to determine your location, such as the following:

• Location services from the operating system or browser
• Sensor data from the user’s device (e.g. magnetometer or barometer, Bluetooth data, beacon data, Wi-Fi access points, GPS data, and cell tower data)
• Other data that may help us understand the precise location of our users

When you Open and Use or Interact with our Apps

If you have your location services turned on whenever you open, use, or interact with our website or apps on your mobile device, we collect and use your location data from the same mobile device to tailor the services with respect to your current location (i.e. we will show your current location or a list of nearby locations and trips). If you have a current trip, we will process and store your location data as part of your trip data, thus making it visible to people who have access to your trip. We will process your location data only with your permission.

When you are Not Directly Interacting with the Apps

If you have background location data turned on by granting us permission through your device's location settings, we shall, from time to time, obtain your device's location even if you are not directly interacting with the apps. Our use of this data depends on whether you have a current trip or not:

• When you have a current trip, your location data is uploaded to our servers and stored as part of your trip data, thus making it visible to people with access to your trip.
• When you do not have a current trip, your location data is used to give you relevant suggestions (e.g. to detect when you start travelling and remind you to create a trip if you do, or to suggest alternative destination(s) based on your travel preferences, and so on).
• Other than in an anonymised, pseudonymised, or aggregated form, your location is never shared with others, except with your consent or as permitted to so or you have published it at your will on TripMemo.
• Each of the locations that are automatically tracked while you have a current trip or that you create manually is saved as part of your trip data. You can delete or edit any of your locations along with another trip fully or partially by using the Edit/ Delete /Add options in our web pages and apps. If you ever decide to delete your account, all your given data will be deleted from our database.

Automatically Generated Information

TripMemo® requires certain information for the services to function properly. For this reason, TripMemo® collects automatically generated information on the use of our services. For example, we receive data:

• relating to how you interact with the services, such as your search terms, the pages you view, your access times, the time you spend on each page, your IP address, the redirected pages, or any written messages to other users or post to the services etc.
• relating to your device, such as your hardware model, operating system, unique ID, browser type, language, and wireless network etc.
• collected by cookies and other technologies, such as cookie ID, advertising ID, or other unique advertising ID, web beacons, local storage, and pixels.
• If you use our apps and have enabled background location services in them, you have permitted us to collect the above data about you in the background even when you do not have the apps open (as permitted by your device settings). You may turn off location services at any time by going to your device settings and toggling off background location. For more information about location, refer to the ‘Location Data’ section above.

TripMemo® requires this information for the service to work as optimally as possible (for example, to display content correctly and to keep the service secure). The processing of these personal data is therefore necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®.

Data Received from Third Parties

We may receive data about you from third parties if they serve us with websites or applications that integrate with our API or analytics services. This data may include but not limited to details about your activity when using the services, or on unaffiliated websites and apps, data received from web browsers or operating systems such as browser types and settings; the operating systems, device models, carriers, location information, IP address, mobile device and advertising identifiers (e.g. Apple IDFA or Google Advertising ID), as well as cookie information, pixel or other similar technology. For instance, if you created your account using Facebook, we may receive certain information from Facebook, such as your first name, last name, gender, birthday, email address, and your Facebook ID.

We currently use Google Analytics for Display Advertising. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Google Analytics uses its cookie to track visitor interactions. Website owners can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so that they can focus on optimising their place on the internet.

To Operate, Maintain and Improve the Services

We may use your data to operate/ maintain the services, and for our better understanding of your preferences so as to tailor the services to you. If you use the services when you are not logged into your TripMemo® account, we may combine the data collected while you were not logged in with your TripMemo® account, once you log in again.

We may also use your data for research and development, to improve the services, or to offer new products, features, and tools. For example, we may redesign the apps to make it easier for you to search for a travel destination, prepare an itinerary, track your trips, or when we move on to new technology platforms. The processing of your data in this context is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®, namely, to improve the services and to offer new products, features, and tools.

For Profiling

We may also use your data to customize our Apps and Site to provide you with your own special experience. We do this by inferring your interests and preferences, considering your travel preferences and search history, or allowing you to find and add friends who are also using the Apps and Site from your device's contact list. Your Facebook account is also applicable if you have connected it with your TripMemo® account. In these situations, we do not store your contact lists. Based on your travel history and behaviour, we may, for instance, assume that you prefer birding sites instead of snorkelling points and hence, show you more recommendations for birding activities and advertisements of birding related suppliers. The processing of these personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®, namely, to give you recommendations, personalize your experience, and show you advertisements of great relevance to your type of travels and interests.

Crash Data

Additionally, if you give consent to sharing crash data (when the apps crash) with us, we may use that data to analyse the cause of the crash. The processing of these personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®, namely, to secure and improve the service.

To Communicate with You

We may use your data to communicate with you via email, text (only if you opt-in), or through our in-house messaging systems embedded along with your account, to inform you about new product offers, service updates, or anything else we think may be of interest to you. You can opt-out of receiving marketing and promotional communications in your app settings. The processing of these personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®, namely, direct marketing.

For Protection of Our Rights

We may use your data to protect the rights, property or safety of TripMemo®, the services, our users and employees, or any third party. For example, we may use your data if we need to enforce or apply our Terms of Service or Policies. The processing of these personal data is necessary for the purposes of all legitimate interests pursued by TripMemo®.  In the event of a formal request by any statutory authorities from your country of nationality or residence or by any authorities to reveal your account details, transaction details, or any such information related to your engagement with TripMemo®, and that it is morally and legally rightful for TripMemo® to do so, we may share such data with them without serving you any notice or seeking your approval. 

i. Third Party Service Providers

We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers: a) to render the services that we offer you, b) to conduct quality assurance testing, c) to facilitate the creation of accounts, and d) to provide technical support and/or other services to TripMemo®. These third-party service providers cannot use your personal information other than to provide the services requested by TripMemo®.

ii. Affiliates and Acquisitions

We may share some or all of your Personal Information with our group companies/firms, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (Affiliates), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honour this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires our company, business, or assets, that company will possess the personal information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our site if there comes any change in the ownership or the uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding it.

iii. Other Disclosures

Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personal Information (as described below), TripMemo® may disclose Personal Information if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (a) in connection with any legal investigation; (b) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on TripMemo®; (c) to protect or defend the rights or property of TripMemo® or users of the Services, and (d) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Use.

Data Available to People with Access to Your Trip

When you create a trip, it includes the search for destination information, activities, advertisers, suppliers, or any services that may help you to carry out your trip on TripMemo®. This trip includes the data created by you and/or collected by TripMemo® from registered members including you. The Trip Data includes your written texts, photos, your past or planned visits to businesses, establishments, destinations, sites, attractions, etc. It also includes your routes, current location, statistics about your trip, social interactions (e.g. likes, comments, or tips) by yourself or other people regarding your trip.

Data Available to People with Access to another User's Trip

If you interact with the trip of another user, people with access to that trip might see your social interactions. If the owner of a trip changes the trip’s privacy level, your social interactions with that trip might become publicly available. You can always remove your social interactions by deleting or undoing them. (Interaction with another user about the trip etc. will normally be voluntary.  By doing this, the user undertakes that the privacy-level of his trip is liable to change based on the alterations in the level of privacy.)

Data Available to Your Followers

Your followers may see your publicly available data (see below), trip data (except ‘Only me’ trips), the lists of your followers, people whom you follow, and travel statistics.

Publicly Available Data

When you use the services, note that certain information is public, such as your name, TripMemo® handle, username, profile photo, hometown, country, travel choices, public trips, your social interaction on public trips of other users such as forums, your number of followers, and the number of people that you follow. These details may be followed, be searchable by search engines, and be disclosed to third parties including our partners and customers.

Data that May Be Shared with Third Party Partners and Service Providers

We may have service providers, vendors, advertisers and contractors to provide or perform services on our behalf. In these cases, we may need to share your personal data with them. When you order a service from a referral site, we will share your trip data and your order data (e.g. your name and address) with our referral partners.

We may place advertisements from our registered members or third-party advertisers in TripMemo® and related mobile sites near to your data, to generate income for TripMemo®. We may use profiling practices mentioned above to display suitable advertisements based on profiles.  Our service providers, advertisers, referral partners, vendors, and contractors will be subject to binding contractual obligations to (i) only process the personal data in accordance with our prior written instructions, and not use them for any other purposes, and (ii) use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data together with any additional requirements under the applicable law.

When we partner with a business, we may share data with them but only in an aggregate and anonymous form, such as de-identified data about visits to places (which is not tied to individual users). We may also share or disclose aggregated, pseudonymised, and/or anonymous data to third parties, including other TripMemo® Users and developers who use our API or SDK, for analytical purposes.

Your Consent

Except as permitted under the Privacy Policy, we will only share your Personal Data with your consent. For example:

• If you consent or authorise a third-party app to access your TripMemo® account, we may share your data.
• TripMemo® may enter into contracts with partners to offer contests and promotions through our services. For example, we may partner with a brand to have a contest to win a prize, and if you enter the contest, we may share your email address and/or other necessary personal data to the brand, with your consent. In these cases, we will share only the necessary data with our partner.

We may share your data as part or in anticipation of a business sale, merger, consolidation, investment, change in control, transfer of substantial corporate assets, reorganization, liquidation, similar business transactions, or corporate events.

Consequences of Disclosing Information

Sharing Your Trip Data

People with access to your trip can see all your trip data (as described above). Individuals reading this information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and your knowledge. Hence, we recommend you to be careful about including any specific information you may deem private, in trips, comments, plans, tips, or other content that you create during the use of our services.

Sharing Your Trip Real Time with Your Dear Ones

The ‘tag my trip’ (auto blogging) functionality will enable you to share your trip with a limited number of people who can use it to view your trip journal and data. Making someone a virtual traveller (tagging your journal writing tool with any TripMemo® registered user) with you implies that more people than the person you initially shared the link with, may potentially see your trip. This happens when your virtual co-traveller shares a link you sent, to a third person, or if a third person opens the link from the history of a browser which is used by multiple people. It is to be noted that your data can become accessible to people with whom you do not intend to share it.

Sharing Your Current Location

Features such as ‘Tag My Trip’ or real-time Social Media sharing may automatically make your current location available to people with access to your trip.
