Property Owners/Advertisers and Vacation Planning Visitors

In order to process a request you may have of us we need to know contact information that could include all or some of the following: your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and, in the case of an advertising listing, a method of payment. LakeRentals.com will use this information to contact you from time to time with critical customer updates and information, or to send you information about new services or opportunities. You will be able to "opt out" and not receive marketing information, but we must always be able to email you critical information about your account and our mutual business relationship.

Your information is not shared with third parties, except:

In the case of special promotions by LakeRentals.com, or one of its partners, about which you've requested to be notified.
Where a third party performs services on behalf of LakeRentals.com and has agreed to keep such information confidential (such as the processing of your credit card payment or the conduct of an online survey for example).
The aggregate use of the information of multiple LakeRentals.com advertisers and visitors where individual personal information is not disclosed. LakeRentals.com shares Website usage information about advertisers and visitors with a third-party tracking company for the purpose of reporting statistics. For this purpose, some of the pages you visit on our Website use pixel tags (also called clear gifs). LakeRentals.com also uses your information to market its services and to gain feedback on potential new services.

Newsletters

As an advertiser or visitor to LakeRentals.com, you will receive our newsletters. You may cancel your subscription to these newsletters at any time.

Surveys

Surveys are another method by which we gather information about our visitors. From time to time, we request owner or newsletter subscribers' input in order to evaluate potential features and services. The decision to answer a survey is completely yours. We use information gathered from surveys to improve our service.

Inquiries

Site visitors may send inquiries to our property owners/advertisers via clickable links on LakeRentals.com listings. If you choose to send an inquiry through these links, your personal information, including your email address and any other information you supply, will be visible to the owner of the property you inquired about so that they might reply directly to you. Do not share information in the email that you are not prepared to allow them to have, including, but not limited to, credit card and bank account information. These inquiries are sent to both the individual owner/advertiser you selected and retained by LakeRentals.com. The resulting inquiry is available for review only by the owner/advertiser to whom they were initially addressed and to LakeRentals.com customer service employees, who may be asked by advertisers for their past inquiry information.

All inquiries sent through LakeRentals.com are accepted and are governed by our Terms and Conditions of Service and our Privacy Policy.
