Privacy
Our Commitment
Welcome to HotelsCombined.com, the best site on the web for up-to-date information
on hotels and accommodations throughout the world. We, the founders of HotelsCombined.com
are Internet users, too, so we understand how serious you are about protecting
your private information – we’re serious about it, too! To help you
understand our privacy policies better, we’ve chosen to explain it below
in plain English. That way, you can feel comfortable that we are just as dedicated
to your privacy as we are to ours.
The bottom line is that any information we collect from you remains completely private unless you give us permission to give it to another website. We do not knowingly collect private information from children, and we don’t sell your information to any other websites for any reason. That’s it in a nutshell! If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us by email or at

We use this information to make the site better – easier to use and simpler.
We will only collect personally identifiable data (your name, email address, phone number, etc.) on forms YOU complete.

us perform some function of our website, we will give them only the information
needed to perform the function, and they are prohibited from using the information
in any other way.
Also, we might share your non-personally identifiable data with third party advertisers – that’s folks who want to advertise on our website in order to offer you products and services that, as a world traveler, you might like.
Finally, we may disclose personal information if required to by law or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to
