To help you with some of these types of interactions via our Websites, Beau Monde Traveler may request additional types of information from you on a voluntary basis. If such information is shared with us, we won’t share specifically identifiable information of our users but may share generalized, aggregate data or so called “demographic information.” Supplying such information is optional and if you choose not to enter such information, you may still use many of these applications. If we share demographic information with third parties, we will only provide demographic data that has been aggregated.
Our Website and mobile applications may use forms for you to give us contact information (including your name, address, telephone number, and email address) so you can place orders, request information, customer support, and even interact with 3rd parties. For certain services, we may also request a credit card number, identification number, or other financial information or PII.

We use your information to contact you regarding functionality changes to our products, our Websites and mobile application, newly offered Beau Monde Traveler.com services, and special offers we think you’ll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, you’ll be able to Unsubscribe or change your preferences.
We may also use your information to present a co-branded offer with our partners or affiliates.
