How Information Is Gathered

We collect and store the names, addresses, payment information and other personally-identifying information of the customer who uses our Site to make ground transportation reservations. This information is saved in a secure environment and is kept for our records and to make it easier for you to use our services.
To serve you more efficiently and with better quality, we use "cookies" technology. Cookies are small bits of code, usually stored on a user's computer hard drive, which enable a Web site to "personalize" itself for each user. We use cookies to reduce the time it takes for you to submit reservations. No third party has access to the information we collect this way, but if you'd rather we didn't use cookies when you visit us, you can turn them off in your browser.
Voluntary Information may be collected from you in several instances when you are on the Site. When you request information to be sent to you on various products and services, or when you provide us information regarding business transactions, you will be asked to complete an online form or submit information via e-mail. Information collected will include names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, payment information and certain preferences you have depending on the services or information you are requesting.
The information you provide will never be used for purposes other than for the reasons it was given, without your permission.
Involuntary cookies are data placed on your computer to enable us to know on future visits your preferences concerning the site. We may use cookies to determine your preferences as to screen or presentation choices while you are visiting the site. We never use cookies to gather any personally identifiable information. Cookies are not utilized by third party services. TCI engages cookies to process information only, while you are on the Site.
