Is the site secure?
PlacesAway.com uses industry-standard 128-bit SSL technology
to encrypt all transactions that take place on the site. The payment
information you provide is then sent to our payment processor (WorldPay)
via another SSL link. At no time are your credit card details stored
on our server.
To ensure security and privacy of your personal details on the site,
advertisers' passwords are stored using a one-way encryption system and never
stored or transmitted internally on our server in an unencrypted
form. |

Do we hold statistical data?
We try to ensure that our website is effective and easy to use and
that you are benefiting from using it.
To help us ensure that our website is up to date we use statistical
data to improve functionality and for promotional purposes. We also
hold statistical data to allow advertisers to monitor how
many ‘hits’ each individual property receives. |

Why do we link to other sites?
We provide links to a number of other websites to ensure that we
are providing holidaymakers with ready access to other sources
of information to help in the planning of holidays.
Please note
that none of those websites are subject to our privacy policy; you should
check their privacy policies before entering any personal information. |

Use of 'cookies'
A 'cookie' is a small data file that a website server can
send to your computer's hard drive and later retrieve so that the website
server can identify your computer.
We use only one type of cookie, known as a 'session cookie'. It is only used
in relation to advertisers on our website, whenever they log on, to enable
them to:
- add new properties they wish to advertise; and
- change or supplement property information they are already advertising
through our website, as well as any personal information they have
previously supplied.
The 'session cookie' is deleted each time an advertiser logs off from our
website and no 'cookie' is therefore permanently placed on any advertiser's
computer. |
