• Travel Manager FAQ's

    (scroll down for Hotel Manager FAQ's)

    Q. How much does it cost to use CATCH?

    Current Travel Manager pricing is just $30 per month.

     

    Q. Have you already had bookings through the program?

    Yes, we have had over $10 million in room nights booked through CATCH.

     

    Q. Do you continuously change/update hotels (Names & contacts?)

    Yes, constantly. It is an on-going process, and we try to keep the most up-to-date information in the system.

     

    Q. Can I only request bids from Catch partner hotels? 

    You can request a bid from any hotel; they do not need to be a partner hotel. And you can find any hotel, anywhere, as long as it is listed on Google. Then you can send them a bid request.

     

    Q. Can I put in an event address that isn’t a concert venue, stadium or event hall?

    Yes, our system allows you to put in any event location listed on Google as your event venue.

     

    Q. Can I share a login with someone else on my team so that we can see each other’s work?

    You can invite anyone whom you work with to use Catch and collaborate with you, see your work and work within the system. You can’t share a login with them, but they can create and use their own, and you can see each other’s work.

     

    Q. Have you done training with hotel reps/ hotel groups on what is Catch and how to use it?

    Yes! We have trained sales teams at Hyatt, Marriott, IHG, Four Seasons, Preferred, Leading Hotels, Luxe, Best Western, and more. And over 10,000 hotels have already received and answered bid requests in the system.

     

    Q. Do you have security around our client and our user information?

    Yes, we built on a Google system with all of the added security features. And your login is your own; no other company can see your CATCH login or any information you put in it unless you choose to share it with them.

     

    Q. Can I send an invoice to the hotels directly for my commissions?

    We have just added an auto-invoice feature. As soon as the group checks out, you can go to the invoice tab and click the Invoice Icon next to the hotel listing, and Catch makes an invoice for you automatically! Or you can invoice for commissions on your schedule.

     

    Q: How many groups can I manage in CATCH?

    You can manage as many as you would like.

     

    Q: Can I send messages to the hotels within CATCH, or do I have to go out to my email?

    You can message any hotel that you have sent a bid to directly in CATCH. And you can have a running history of your conversation - no need to go out to your email.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the page specified above.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email
We will notify the users via in-site notification
      • Within 7 business days

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

      • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
      • Send you additional information related to your product and/or service

      • Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
      • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
