Privacy Matters: Understanding Prestige’s Consumer Data Privacy Policy and Cookie Usage

Planning a trip should feel exciting—not uncertain. That’s why Prestige Vacations Aruba puts clarity first with a transparent Consumer Data Privacy Policy and straightforward cookie usage. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what personal information is collected, how it’s used, when it’s shared, how payments stay secure, and the simple steps you can take to manage your choices.

What Personal Information Prestige Collects (and Why It Matters)

Prestige Vacations Aruba/Prestige Realty Inc. ("PRESTIGE") collects Personal Information you willingly provide on its websites to facilitate bookings and services. This may include:

• Name and email address
• Credit or debit card details
• Zip code and physical address
• Phone number
• Additional travel details or special needs (when you share them via contact or email forms)

Prestige also gathers non-personal electronic and web browsing information—such as IP address, browser type and settings, navigation paths, referring/exit pages, and operating system. This browsing data does not include Personal Information and may be analyzed using third-party tools to improve site performance and usability.

How Prestige Uses Your Information

Prestige uses your Personal Information to deliver a smooth, reliable experience before, during, and after your stay:

• Process payments for reservations and services
• Send receipts and payment status confirmations
• Facilitate check-in procedures
• Respond to inquiries, instant quote requests, and service needs
• Possibly send newsletters and marketing communications (optional)
• Handle questions and concerns via customer support
• Improve the website and marketing efforts
• Conduct research and analysis to enhance guest services

When you’re choosing dates, exploring resorts, or adding travel services like airport transfers through the concierge, this information flow helps Prestige respond quickly and accurately.

Cookie Usage: What’s Stored and Why

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites remember preferences and operate more efficiently. Prestige uses cookies to:

• Remember your preferences and profile information
• Collect general usage and volume statistics that do not include Personal Information

These insights help improve site speed, navigation, and the overall booking experience. Most browsers let you control cookies—commonly by blocking third-party cookies, clearing existing cookies, or setting site exceptions—so you can choose the level of personalization that’s right for you.

Quick Answers About Cookies

• Does Prestige use cookies for personalization? Yes, to remember preferences and profile information.
• Are cookies used to identify me personally? Prestige’s general usage statistics do not include Personal Information.
• Can I manage cookies? Yes. Use your browser settings to manage, limit, or delete cookies at any time.

Information Sharing and Fraud Protection

Prestige maintains a firm stance on responsible data sharing:

• No selling of Personal Information. Prestige does not sell your data.
• No sharing without your explicit approval, except when needed to operate services or comply with law.
• Operational sharing may occur with companies providing essential services (e.g., credit/debit card processing, customer service). These partners are authorized to use data only as necessary to deliver those services.
• Legal compliance and safety. Prestige may disclose information when required by law or in good faith to protect rights, ensure safety, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests.
• Active fraud prevention. Payments, attempted payments, and site usage are analyzed to help identify and block suspected misuse or fraud. Relevant data (e.g., suspect payment information, email addresses, IP addresses) may be shared with payment processors and law enforcement to reduce fraud.

Security Standards You Can Count On

Prestige follows generally accepted industry standards to protect Personal Information during transmission and once received.

• PCI-DSS–compliant payment page with SSL (https://) encryption
• Established payment gateway: First Atlantic Commerce, Ltd.
• Purpose-limited processing: Billing details are hosted and collected solely to process payments, refunds, and card updates
• No storage of full card numbers on Prestige’s website servers or systems

These measures protect your data while enabling quick, secure transactions.

How to Pay Safely (and Verify the Payment Page)

Prestige adds extra safeguards before any online payment is made. To proceed with payment, you must first receive and accept one of the following:

1. An Instant Quote before continuing to Online Booking
2. A Reservation Payment Request by email (sometimes including a unit-specific Vacation Rental Agreement)
3. A Service Payment Request or Document

When you click a payment link from Prestige, always verify the page URL:

• https://www.PrestigeVacationsAruba.com/payments
• https://www.PrestigeRealtyAruba.com/payments

If the address bar shows a different URL, do not enter card details. This simple check helps protect you from fraudulent sites.

Prefer to pay by bank wire transfer? Yes—Prestige can email you detailed wire instructions to complete payment through your bank.
