4. Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising, and Opt-Out Options
4.1 Tracking Tools
We may use tools outlined below in order to provide the Cruise America Services, advertise to, and better understand users.
Cookies: "Cookies" are small computer files transferred to your device that contain information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited, and activities conducted while using the Cruise America Services. We use Cookies to: (i) improve and tailor the Cruise America Services, (ii) customize advertisements, (iii) measure performance, (iv) store authentication so re-entering credentials is not required, (v) customize user experiences, and for (vi) analytics and fraud prevention. For more information on Cookies, including how to control your Cookie settings and preferences, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. You can also manage Cookies in your web browser (for example, Edge, Explorer, Chrome, Safari). If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions or features of the Cruise America Services will not work as intended. The following details the types of Cookies we use and why we use them:
Absolutely Necessary Cookies: These Cookies are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. Without these Cookies, services you have asked for, like adding items to an online order, cannot be provided.
Performance Cookies: These Cookies collect information about how you use the Cruise America Services. Information collected includes the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. These Cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you and only collect aggregated and anonymous information. Performance Cookies are used to improve website usability and enhance your experience.
Functionality Cookies: These Cookies allow Cruise America Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the area or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the Cruise America Services. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Web Beacons: "Web Beacons" (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of the Cruise America Services. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people use the Cruise America Services, use selected publishers' websites, or open emails, and for what purposes.
Web Service Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services in connection with the Cruise America Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity, and text typed into the Cruise America Services. We use the information collected from these services to help make the Cruise America Services easier to use and as otherwise outlined in Section 5 (How We Use Your Information). These analytics services generally do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.
Mobile Device Identifiers: As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help Cruise America learn more about our users' demographics and Internet behaviors in order to personalize and improve the Cruise America Services. Mobile device identifiers are data stored on mobile devices that may track activities occurring on and through them, as well as the applications installed on them. Mobile device identifiers enable the collection of personal information (such as media access control address and location) and Traffic Data.
4.2 Behavioral Advertising and Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising
We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools to collect information about a user's online activities to display Cruise America ads to the user based on the user's interests ("Behavioral Advertising"). Our partners may include third-party advertisers and other third-party service providers, and such partners may collect information when you use the Cruise America Services, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, and demographic information. These Tracking Tools help Cruise America learn more about our users' demographics and Internet behaviors.
Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising:
We share certain categories of personal information with third-party advertising partners to display personalized advertisements to you on other websites and platforms. Under California law and other state privacy laws, this sharing constitutes "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Categories of personal information shared for targeted advertising:
- Identifiers (IP address, cookie IDs, device identifiers)
- Internet or network activity information (pages visited, ads clicked)
- Inferences about preferences and interests
Categories of third parties with whom we share this information:
- Advertising networks and platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Facebook Ads)
- Social media companies
- Data analytics providers
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, the sharing described above may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws. You have the right to opt out of this sharing, as described in Section 4.3 below.
4.3 Options for Opting Out of Cookies, Behavioral Advertising, and Sale/Sharing
Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing of Personal Information:
You have the right to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes. To exercise this right:
- Click the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer of our website
- Enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal on your browser or device
If we process Cookies based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time by contacting us at privacy@cruiseamerica.com. Please note that if you exercise this right, you may have to provide your consent on a case-by-case basis to enable you to utilize some or all of the Cruise America Services.
You may be able to reject Cookies and/or mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or device. Although you are not required to accept Cruise America's Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Cruise America Services.
You may opt out of receiving certain Cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page, or by installing the DAA's AppChoices app (for iOS; for Android) on your mobile device. When you use these opt-out features, an "opt-out" Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertising from NAI or DAA member companies. If you delete Cookies on your device, you may need to opt out again. For information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile devices, please visit https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/. You will need to opt out of each browser and device for which you desire to apply these opt-out features.
Even after opting out of Behavioral Advertising, you may still see Cruise America advertisements that are not interest-based (i.e., not targeted toward you). Also, opting out does not mean that Cruise Amrica is no longer using Tracking Tools. Cruise America still may collect information about your use of the Cruise America Services even after you have opted out of Behavioral Advertising and may still serve advertisements to you via the Cruise America Services based on information it collects through the Cruise America Services.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of Cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. Please be aware that some third-party Cookies can continue to track your activities online even after you have left the Cruise America Services.
4.4 "Do Not Track" (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want their online activity tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser's user. Not all browsers support the DNT option, and there is currently no industry consensus on what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including Cruise America, do not proactively respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit https://fpf.org/thank-you-for-visiting-allaboutdnt-com/.
Global Privacy Control (GPC):
We recognize and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. The GPC is a technical specification that allows users to broadcast a privacy preference signal from their browser or device.
When we detect a GPC signal from your browser or device, we will:
- Treat it as a request to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising
- Apply the opt-out to the specific browser or device from which the signal is sent
- Not require additional verification steps to honor the signal
To enable GPC, you can download a GPC-enabled browser extension or use a browser that supports GPC (such as Brave, DuckDuckGo, or Firefox with appropriate extensions). For more information about GPC, visit globalprivacycontrol.org.
5. Artificial Intelligence and Profiling
We may employ artificial intelligence (AI) technologies ("AI Systems") to enhance the performance and functionality of the Cruise America Services and/or support certain internal operations and customer-facing services.

You have the right to:

- Opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (where applicable under state law)
- Access the personal information that AI Systems use and request rectification or erasure of such personal information
