It includes information that can identify you as a specific individual, such as your name, phone number, or e-mail address. Although you are required to register with Xapa.com in order to use selected travel planning tools, and some information is needed in order to process and fulfill travel requests, many areas of Xapa.com can be accessed without providing any information.

Improving the quality of your visit to our site
We collect certain information (e.g., travel information) based on your navigation of our site in order to better understand and serve our customers. This data allows us to streamline your ability to navigate the site and develop featured programs and content that will be of interest to our members and site visitors. No information is collected unless you explicitly provide it.

Service providers
To provide and process the services you request, Xapa.com shares your information with our authorized service providers that perform certain services or functions on our behalf. We only share information about travel either reserved or purchased on Xapa.com. Our service providers need information about your traveler profile, as well as your credit card information, to process and confirm your travel reservation. These service providers will disclose information about your traveler profile to hotel, airline, rental car and/or other travel suppliers whose products you have purchased. Like any other travel agent, this information must be shared with our travel suppliers to confirm your reservation and travel preferences. Although Xapa.com offers travel products from hotel, airline, rental car and other travel suppliers that are reputable companies, we have not placed limitations on these suppliers from using or disclosing your information without your permission. Therefore, we encourage you to review the information privacy practices of any travel suppliers whose products you purchase on Xapa.com. In addition, these travel suppliers may also contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about your confirmed reservation.
Xapa.com will occasionally share aggregated information with our service providers. This information does not contain any personal information and is used to develop featured programs and content that will be of interest to our members and site visitors.
In the event that you make a new, or update an existing, travel reservation by calling our toll-free number, your information may be accessed by a third-party service provider, as necessary, to respond to your request for customer service.
Xapa.com may contract a reputable third party to facilitate the distribution of survey, promotion, or sweepstakes programs. Upon completion of these projects, all information is returned to Xapa.com.
Trusted business partners
In addition, we have partnered with various third-party Web sites to offer Xapa.com travel services. These trusted third-party companies have added travel sections to their Web sites in order to offer Xapa.com provided travel services. We will not share any of your information with these trusted third-party companies, even if you register on Xapa.com through their Web sites.
