Privacy Policy
We understand that making bookings online involves a great deal of trust on your part. We take this trust very seriously, and make it our highest priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide to us. Please read the following policy to learn about our privacy practices. By visiting our website, www.LingvoBooking.com, and especially by booking language courses through www.LingvoBooking.com, you are accepting the practices described herein.
What information we collect from you
In General
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. This includes information that can identify you ("personal information"), including your first and last name, telephone number, postal and e-mail addresses. You can choose not to provide information to us, but in general some information about you is required in order for you to register for a course. We use your personal information solely to register you for a language course you booked. We will never give your personal information to third parties, if only it is not required by a school or student accommodation provider for fulfilling your request.
Student Information
When you make language travel or other arrangements for someone else through LingvoBooking.com, we will request personal information and preferences about that individual. You should obtain the consent of other individuals prior to providing LingvoBooking.com with their personal information.
Automatic Information
We automatically collect some information about your computer when you visit LingvoBooking.com. For example, we will collect your IP address, Web browser software (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), and referring Web site. We also may collect information about your online activity, such as courses viewed and bookings made. One of our goals in collecting this automatic information is to help customize your user experience.
Cookies and Other Web Technologies
When you visit LingvoBooking.com, we may assign your computer a "cookie" (a small, unique identifier text file). You can always choose not to receive a cookie file by enabling your Web browser to refuse cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie.

Information Collected by Third-Party Advertising Companies
Third-party advertisers, such as those we use to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet, may use cookies and other technologies (such as Web beacons or single-pixel GIFS) for several purposes, including: to measure the effectiveness of their ads; to analyse, modify, and personalise advertising content on LingvoBooking.com and other sites; and to provide ads about services we hope will be of interest to you. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
How we use your information
LingvoBooking.com uses information about you for the following general purposes: to provide you with the services you request; to provide you with confirmation and updates; to communicate with you in general; to respond to your questions; to measure interest in and improve our services, and Web site; to notify you about special offers and/or services that may be of interest to you; to otherwise customise your experience with LingvoBooking.com; to reward you as part of any reward and recognition program you choose to join; to solicit information from you, including through surveys; to resolve disputes; to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; to enforce our Terms and Conditions.
With whom we share your information
LingvoBooking.com may share your information with the following entities:
- Suppliers, such as language schools, student accommodation providers, airline, or insurance companies, or activity providers, who fulfil your travel reservations. Throughout LingvoBooking.com, all services provided by a third-party supplier are described as such. We do not share your email address with these suppliers unless they need it to fulfil the travel reservation you have made on LingvoBooking.com, and we restrict their use of this information to that purpose. We do not place limitations on our suppliers' use or disclosure of your other personal information. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any Service supplier whose services you booked through LingvoBooking.com. Please note that these suppliers also may contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about you or to facilitate your language travel reservation.
- Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services. You can tell when a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we may share information about you, including your personal information, with those partners. Please note that we do not control the privacy practices of these third-party business partners and recommend you evaluate their practices before deciding to provide your personal information.

We want you to feel confident about using LingvoBooking.com, so we are committed to protecting the information we collect. While no website can guarantee security, we have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures to help protect the personal information you provide to us. We use encryption when transmitting your sensitive personal information between your system and ours, and we employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorised persons from gaining access to your information.
