Your privacy is very important. This policy helps you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of your personal information on vacationcounts.com, the ‘Site’. Meliovation is the company that owns the Site and the rights to publish content and technology under the VacationCounts brand name. Both names are used interchangeably to refer to the company that owns this Site and provides ‘Services’ such as web content, newsletters, apps, templates files, tools, and downloadable resources.
When accessing the Site and accessing the Services, Meliovation will learn certain information about you during your visit. By providing us with your data, you warrant to us that you are over 13 years of age.

Cookies
A cookie is a very small text document which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in your cookies folder. The Site will send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Email Messages
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, by mail, and via telephone.
