- Personal Information: When you voluntarily subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a contact form, or leave a comment, we may collect your name and email address.

The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

- Google AdSense / Ad Networks: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies
Kayak Pulse’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
