Further action, such as reporting incidents to the police or other proper authorities, may also be required.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and we recommend that you examine the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.

We know that our business will continue to evolve as we introduce new products, and, as such, from time to time this Privacy Policy may be reviewed and revised. Pure Dominican Vacations reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy by posting the changes on its website.
