Our Policy

The California Tour uses its best efforts to respect and protect the privacy of our online visitors and donors.

We will NOT share your e-mail address with third parties.

We will post your name and donations unless you have checked the option to remain anonymous.

Is Credit Card Information Secure?

We care about the safety and security of your transaction. We use high grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with your browser software. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols.

We do NOT store your credit card on our servers, and our personnel only have access to the last four digits of your credit card for purposes of identification on transactions.

How Do We Use "Cookies"?

Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by The California Tour Website through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text files a Website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor's ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements.

Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. The California Tour uses "cookie" technology only to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors in order to improve visitors' online experience and facilitate their visit within our site.

Thank you for visiting our site.
