We may also supplement this Policy with other policies in the Tripmaker Platform. This Policy apply only to information collected by us through the Tripmaker Platform and does not apply to services that link to other policies, including any third-party websites or services you connect to from the Tripmaker Platform, such as social-networking platforms or connected third-party applications. Tripmaker is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of those third parties.
We collect and process personal information about you with your consent and/or as necessary to provide the products you use, operate our business, meet our contractual and legal obligations, protect the security of our systems and our customers, or fulfill other legitimate interests.
As the provider of the Tripmaker Platform, Unikoom, LLC does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any services, nor is Unikoom an organizer or retailer of travel packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302.
Personal Data Collected
As used in this Policy, “Personal Data” means information relating to you as an identified or identifiable individual. You provide Personal Data directly into the Tripmaker Platform. For example, as part of activating an account with Tripmaker, we collect your name, email address and password. If you create the account using one of the available social networking or third-party platform connection options (a “social sign-in” like Google or Facebook), we will collect your associated email address and related profile information from the social sign-in provider, if permitted. You may also provide a photo of yourself or provide us with additional email addresses for purposes of collecting itinerary information and to ensure that you retain access to your account even if you no longer have access to your primary email address.
To take full advantage of features and functionality of the Tripmaker Platform, you may also provide us with additional information for your profile, such as date of birth, or your travel preferences. If you wish to receive alerts via text messages, you must provide your mobile phone number. If you book your accommodations, rides, flights, events or other services through us, we may collect certain billing and payment information. If we process any payments, it is done so by using third parties, and we would retain only the last four digits of your credit card number and expiration date. Some services may not be available or function correctly if you are not willing to provide personal information.
We may also collect Personal Data from other sources and combine that with Personal Data we collect from you through the Tripmaker Platform, as described below.
Third-Party Connected Services
The Tripmaker Platform may also enable you to connect your Tripmaker App account with third-party applications and service providers. These connected third-party applications may enable Personal Data about you to be transferred into the Tripmaker Platform. For example, if you book airline travel using a connected third-party application from the airline, the corresponding booking information may be transferred into the Tripmaker Platform. Your use of any third-party applications is subject to the terms and conditions you have agreed to with such third parties, including third-party privacy notices, and Tripmaker is not responsible for the quality or accuracy of third-party data available to the Tripmaker Platform from third parties.

We encourage you to review relevant third parties privacy polices prior to signing in through them.

Some of these providers may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which each provide a simple way to opt out of ad targeting from participating companies.

Security and Retention of Personal Data
We maintain data handling and storage practices and procedures that are designed to promote the integrity and confidentiality of the personally identifiable information.
