We disclose personal data and other data with select Strategic Business Partners who provide goods, services and offers that enhance your experience at properties owned or managed by us or that we believe will be of interest to you. By sharing data with these Strategic Business Partners, we are able to make personalized services and unique travel experiences available to you.

This sharing also enables us to provide you with a single source for purchasing packages that include travel-related services, such as airline tickets, rental cars and vacation packages.

THIRD PARTY LINKS

We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents, privacy policies or other practices. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

Personal data and any additional information submitted may be used globally in connection with employment, business processes within the Company, or communicating with our clients. Therefore, personal data may be transferred to other Company entities worldwide, where it will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and laws that are applicable in each country. Countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country.

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA

The Company maintains reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the user's personal data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures that seek to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect personal data.

If the Company collects account information for payment or credit, the Company will use the information only to complete the task for which the account information was offered.

Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that the security of your account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the "How to Contact Us" section, below.

If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 18, please contact us in accordance with the "How to Contact Us" section. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the personal data of a child under 18, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

How We Share the Personal Information that We Collect.

Please see the above chart for the categories of PI collected and the business or commercial purposes for which they were collected.

The above categories of PI are shared with the following categories of third parties:

• Hotel, Resort and Hospitality Companies. We disclose PI and other data to hotel, resort and hospitality companies for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to facilitate your stay at properties owned or managed by us, to administer loyalty programs, and to accomplish our business purposes.

• Strategic Business Partners. We disclose PI and other data with select Strategic Business Partners who provide goods, services and offers that enhance your experience at properties owned or managed by us or that we believe will be of interest to you. By sharing data with these Strategic Business Partners, we are able to make personalized services and unique travel experiences available to you. For example, this sharing enables spa, restaurant, health club, concierge and other outlets at properties owned or managed by us to provide you with services. This sharing also enables us to provide you with a single source for purchasing packages that include travel-related services, such as airline tickets, rental cars and vacation packages.

• For external processing. We provide PI to our affiliates, trusted businesses or partners, or vendors to process it for us based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we may use or disclose this information with these third parties for external processing as follows:

• With your consent or as you direct;
• To manage the Site;
• To process payments and requests for products and services;
• To provide you with products, services, or offers;
• To coordinate your participation in our loyalty reward or similar programs;
• To engage in marketing activities, such as sharing personal information with our partners to deliver advertisements to our shared customers;
• To enhance our services by, among other methods, obtaining assistance with providing more personalized services to you through analytics and other technologies;
• To protect our interests and legal rights, such as through responding to subpoenas and defending litigation; and
• To protect against and prevent fraud, illegal activity (such as identifying and responding to incidents of hacking or misuse of our websites and mobile applications), and claims and other liabilities.

We do not share PI with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

• For Legal Reasons. We will share PI with companies, organizations or individuals outside of the Company if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

• demonstrate our relationship with you.
• meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
• enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations.
• detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
• protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of the Company, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

We attempt to notify users about legal demands for their PI when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.  We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

• Business Transfers. If we establish a new related entity, are acquired by or merged with another organization, or if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another organization, PI about our users is often a transferred business asset. In the event that the Company itself or substantially all of our assets are acquired, PI about our users may be one of the transferred assets.

• Aggregate Site Use Information. We may share aggregate or anonymized/pseudonymized information with third parties in order to promote or describe use of the Sites, for research, marketing, advertising, or similar purposes.

We do not sell your PI as defined in the CCPA.

3. The categories of PI that the Company disclosed about you for a business purpose.
4. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, the Company will provide a response to your request for information as to sale or disclosure for business purpose.

• We will not discriminate against you in violation of the CCPA for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. However, in certain instances we may be unable to provide the service requested (e.g., if you decline to provide your hotel rewards number, we will be unable to credit your stay to your rewards account.)

Submitting California Consumer Rights Requests. To submit any of the California Consumer Rights requests as outlined in this California Privacy Policy, please contact us via our third-party hotel management company, Davidson Hotel Company LLC, at (844) 823-2381 or davidsonhotelsdsr.ethicspoint.com. We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests.  A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual who is:

• the consumer who is the subject of the request,
• a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or
• by a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer.

If the Company requests, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a Consumer. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond.  PI collected from an individual to determine whether a request is a verifiable consumer request may not be used for any other purpose. We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require up to ninety (90) days to respond, under which circumstances we will notify you of the need for an extension.
