Privacy Policy

At World Wide Country Tours, we respect you and your choice to do business with us, both on-line and off. That’s why we’ve taken extra care to thoroughly explain what you can expect from us.

We are committed to exceptional service, which includes maintaining your privacy and any information that you provide to us.

The following statement details our privacy policy in three parts:

How and what information is collected

How World Wide Country Tours uses customer information

What customers can do to retain their privacy

We urge you to carefully review this statement.

Gathering information

Every time you visit the World Wide Country Tours Web site, our servers automatically recognize your ISP domain name, but not your e-mail address. This means our servers can identify “where” you’re from, but not “who” you are. We may compile aggregate statistics about Web site visitors, traffic patterns and related site information, but these statistics include no Personally Identifiable information.

Some functions and services offered through the World Wide Country Tours Web site require that you provide Personally Identifiable information such as name, address, e-mail address and telephone number. We may collect this information for example, when you request a catalog or register to receive an e-mail newsletter.

On-line registration forms contain clearly identified checkboxes or buttons indicating that you may occasionally receive e-mail correspondence from World Wide Country Tours, our affiliates and partners or other third parties. If you do not wish to receive these e-mail messages, you can check the boxes or buttons that allow you to opt out. If you have already registered and wish to change your preferences or wish to correct information you provided to us, see the section below on Maintaining your personal privacy.

Important: No Personally Identifiable information can be retrieved or captured by our Web site servers unless you volunteer it.

Building a better business for you

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web site, making it easier for you to enjoy your time on-line with us.

If you supply us with your postal address or e-mail address, you may receive periodic mailings from us about special offers or new or upcoming tours. Likewise, if you provide us with your telephone number, we may contact you by telephone.

From time to time, your postal address or e-mail address may be made available to third parties. The categories of third parties we may share this information with include affiliates, partners, and any other reputable companies that we think may have a product or service you’d be interested in. However, you have the right to request that your name, postal address or e-mail address not be shared with any other business.

It is our policy NOT to allow disclosure of your telephone number to outside individuals or companies for the sale of products not produced by World Wide Country Tours.

Maintaining your personal privacy

If you do not wish to receive mailings or telephone calls from World Wide Country Tours, or if you wish to request that your name not be shared with other reputable companies, simply let us know by e-mailing vacations@countrytours.com or by calling toll-free, 1-800/344-6918.

Correspondence can also be mailed to:

World Wide Country Tours, Inc.
5939 Country Lane
Greendale WI 53129

All requests to be removed from telephone or mailing lists will be honored promptly. However, please note that there may be circumstances where your request overlaps current mailings. We apologize for any temporary inconvenience this may cause.

If you registered to receive a catalog or an e-mail newsletter, you can change your preferences and/or update your record at any time by clicking the Personal Preferences link located on our Web site. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter(s) at any time by clicking on the Cancel link or the Update Preferences link at the bottom of your newsletter.

Any questions regarding this privacy policy may be directed to World Wide Country Tours by mail at the above address, by calling 1-800/344-6918 or by e-mailing vacations@countrytours.com.

If this policy is updated or changed, we will post a notice on the World Wide Country Tours home page (www.countrytours.com).

About Your On-line Security...

Our servers use the best software available (Secure Sockets Layer protocol) for secure Internet transactions. When you place an on-line order, your information, such as a credit card number, is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. This means that any information you send to World Wide Country Tours via the Internet is unreadable in transit. That makes ordering on-line through a secure connection one of the safest ways to shop!
