We do not sell or rent any of your personal information

From time to time we may use non-personally identifiable information in
conjunction with other users of our site, for marketing and promotional
purposes. For example, the number of times you visited our Site may be
included in a total count along with other visitors to our site and released
as a total number of visits to specific areas of our site. In this instance,
we will not disclose to any third party, any information that could be
used to identify you personally. In any case, certain information, such
as your name, email address, password, credit card number, and bank account

will be deactivated and removed from public view and will only be available
to select vrbwebs.com personnel on a need to know basis or as required
