Thebusticket.com respects the privacy of others and we want you
to understand the ways in which we collect and use information
about you, whether you visit to browse or purchase via
thebusticket.com (the website).
Please review our Privacy Policy carefully. You are agreeing to
its terms by visiting or using this website. Notice of all
changes that materially affect ways in which your personally
identifiable information may be used or shared will be posted in
our Privacy Policy. If you continue to use the website after
notice of changes have been sent to you or published on our
site, you hereby provide your consent to the changed practices.
Please note, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information
that our affiliates may collect, or for our websites outside of
the jurisdiction noted in our Terms and Conditions or any such
other site, as applicable, in order to review those policies and
manage your communication preferences. Collecting, Using, and
Accessing Collecting Information whether you make a purchase, or
a visitor, we are very careful with what we do with your
information.
Collection of information is usually grouped into two
categories: Personally identifiable, which is information
identifiable to a specific user, and non-personally
identifiable, which is general demographic information (gender,
age, zip code), as well as website-wide usage information (route
and destination popularity, pages visited, promotion
participation levels) that does not identify any individual. We
collect non-personally identifiable information when it is
affirmatively provided or through online activity such as
cookies and other tracking technologies, which are discussed in
greater detail below. We may use non-personally identifiable
information for any purpose or disclose it to anyone. Where the
two categories of information are combined, the resulting
information is treated as personally identifiable information in
accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. In many cases,
you can view the website without telling us who you are or
revealing any personally identifiable information. However, if
you wish to purchase a ticket, you will have to provide
information required of any traveler. This includes your name,
your ID information, and your email address, your mobile number
as well as the names of anyone traveling with you. Further, you
must provide us with your valid payment information, including
credit card numbers and expirations dates (all such foregoing
information, collectively, Data).
Since thebusticket.com is only the distributor and reseller of
products and services provided by other parties (Suppliers), we
are also collecting your Data on behalf of those Suppliers. For
example, these Suppliers will need each traveler's name and
voter ID number for identification purposes and to verify that
each ticket is being used in accordance with that Supplier's
terms and conditions. Our collection of and disclosure to our
Suppliers of your Data is a required part of your transaction,
and you agree by engaging in such transactions on the website to
such collection and disclosure. Apart from guest purchases, we
will also collect personally identifiable information when you
choose to participate in promotions, fill out surveys, complete
polls, or send questions or comments to us via email. Please
read below for more information on how we use information
collected through these means.
