Privacy Policy

RibbonsXP respects your privacy.  This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information about you and the choices that are available to you with respect to our handling of your information. RibbonsXP operates a service that enables users to research, find, and make purchases and/or bookings of Experiences, Experience Vouchers, and Gift Certificates (“Experiences” – this refers to the various different experience products and services that can be ordered, acquired, purchased, brought paid, provided, reserved, combined, or consummated by you from RibbonsXP) that are provided by third-parties (“Experience Providers”).  Providing the platform to research, find, review, select, purchase, book and/or return purchased Experiences are the services RibbonsXP provides (the “Services”). Further, any interaction we have with you, the customer, will be collectively referred to as Services in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect when you interact with us online, phone, email or via mail.

 

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to the homepage of our website or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you interact with us to stay informed about our personal information practices and the choices available to you.

 

If you disagree with this Privacy Policy then your only recourse is to discontinue using our Services and stop using our website.  If you agree to the Privacy Policy then you can continue to use our Services, website and book Experiences.
