How does TobagoWI.com use my information?

TobagoWI.com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little about you, TobagoWI.com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you.

In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, TobagoWI.com plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). We take the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual user information. This kind of advertisement targeting may be done with banner ads as well as promotional email.

You will only receive special offers via email from TobagoWI.com if you have indicated that you would like to receive them. You can change your mind at any time.

TobagoWI.com does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys.
