Site Security
In creating and providing you with our privacy policy, we are underscoring an ongoing commitment to protecting all Personally Identifying Information you provide us. We want visitors to our Web site to feel comfortable and confident planning and purchasing travel. To protect your Personally Identifying Information, our Web site uses the latest security technology. High-security firewalls and a secure server that sends and receives encrypted data provide the highest level of protection available today. Although not all pages that collect Personally Identifying Information are secure, we secure all pages collecting credit card information including card number, card type, cardholder name and expiration date. This Web site is a Verisign certified site. Verisign is a central certificate authority issuing digital IDs to Internet Web sites -- further improving the integrity of the Internet for commerce and information access.

Internet Browsers
While Pleasantholidays.com supports all SSL compliant browsers, we recommend that you use version 4.0 or higher of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. These browsers offer 128-bit encryption, which is the strongest, most secure form of encryption available.
