the prior written permission of the Company.

identifiable information. As technology evolves, additional methods
of information gathering may be used.
We also use cookies for a variety of purposes. Most industry-standard

or have your computer inform you each time that a request to place a
cookie is being made. If you turn cookies off (or refuse to accept a

on our web sites and some of our services, such as purchasing a cruise

divulge any personally identifiable information to us. To participate
in or use some of the activities available on our sites (such as purchasing
a cruise or entering a contest or contacting us) you may be required
to provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your

or affiliates of IAU, service providers or vendors acting on IAU's behalf
or travel agents or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets
of IAU or a subsidiary or affiliate of IAU. Our policy is to require
that third parties keep that information confidential. We reserve the
right to disclose personally identifiable information, without notice,
if we believe that such action is necessary to defend and protect the
rights or property of IAU and its family of web sites or to protect
the personal safety of users of IAU, its web sites or the public.

or services and will not be shared with third parties that are not involved

communications from us at the point where we request information from
you. You always have the option of removing your name from our e-mail
mailing list(s) so that you will not receive further e-mail promotional

those privacy policies, as we have no control over information you may
submit to those third parties.

to us. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure
the correct usage of information, we monitor and adjust our physical,
electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online.
