SITE VISIT TRACKERS
Like most websites, this Site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our Site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to track their journey through the Site.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer's IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not grant us access to this.
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google's developer guides. Our Site uses the analytics.js implementation of GA. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this Site.
In addition to Google Analytics, this Site may collect information (held in the public domain) attributed to the IP address of the computer or device that is being used to access it.
Do Not Track. "Do Not Track" is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our Site is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user's computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.
THIRD PARTY DATA PROCESSORS
We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf, which include but are not limited to:
- Google (Privacy Policy)
- X (Privacy Policy)
- CartStack (Privacy Policy)
- Microsoft (Privacy Policy)
- Facebook (Privacy Policy)
- Benchmark (Privacy Policy)
- Instagram (Privacy Policy)
COOKIE POLICY
This section covers the use of cookies and other technologies. The types of cookies we use fall into 3 categories:
- Essential cookies and similar technologies. These are vital for the running of our services on our Site. Without the use of these cookies, parts of our Site would not function. For example, session cookies allows a navigation experience that is consistent and optimal to user's network speed and choice of device.
- Analytics cookies and similar technologies. These collect information about your use of our Site and enable us to improve the way it works. For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages. They also help identify any difficulties you have accessing our services, so we can fix any problems. Additionally, these cookies allow us to see overall patterns of usage at an aggregated level.
- Tracking, advertising coolies and similar technologies. We use these types of technologies to provide advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. This can be done by delivering online adverts based on your previous web browsing activity. Cookies are placed on your browser which will store details of websites you have visited. Advertising based on what you have been looking at is then displayed to you when you visit websites that use the same advertising networks. We may also use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with adverts based on your location, offers you click on, and other similar interactions with our websites and apps.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The Hotel's Instant Rewards email club ("Club") provides free and fast offers for being our valued guest. Anyone may sign up here by providing some basic contact information including name, address, phone number, and email address, which is similar to the information we collect from guests and others that are not Club participants. Benefits may include discounted rates on stays and complimentary amenities or services during a hotel stay. Those benefits are described along with other material terms and conditions in this Policy. The Hotel also may offer loyalty and other incentive programs, and other promotional campaigns, such as sweepstakes, contests, or limited-time promotions (collectively, the "Programs"), the terms of which including how to enroll are provided in connection with those Programs. Participation in the Programs may involve the collection of personal information similar to what is collected in connection with participation in the Club.
The Hotel collects this information to operate the Club and Programs. The amount of personal information that we collect from a participant or non-participant may vary and is dependent on the level of interactions and engagement that the participant or non-participant has with the Hotel. We estimate the value of that personal information to the Hotel, solely for purposes of the CCPA and pursuant to the valuation options mandated by the CCPA regulations, to be of little or no value. This estimate is not specific to any individual consumer and varies per consumer. We have based this good-faith estimate on the value that arises from our commercial relationships and the collection and retention of the personal information of consumers who have voluntarily signed up and chosen to remain in the Club and participate in Programs. The value of Club and Program benefits to participants varies significantly as individual members take advantage of benefits to varying degrees.
Club and Program participants may withdraw at any time by notifying the Hotel at: info@portolahotel.com or (888) 222-5851.
EMAIL & SMS COMMUNICATIONS
We may collect your email address via cookies and pixels on the Site through the use of trusted third-party partners. These partners may combine your email information with other information they have access to such as mailing address so that we may send relevant marketing offers to you via direct mail. You may stop such email communications at any time by contacting us at privacy@portolahotel.com or by selecting "unsubscribe" in the e-mail marketing message.
You may elect to receive text messages from us. When you sign up to receive text messages, we will send you information about promotional offers and more. These messages may use information automatically collected based on your actions while on our Sites and may prompt messaging such as cart abandon messages. To the extent you voluntarily opt to have SMS notifications sent directly to your mobile phone, we receive and store the information you provide, including your telephone number or when you read a text message. You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by texting "STOP" to our text messages. For more information about text messages, see our Terms of Use.
OUR SITES & CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13 years of age. We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet and will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with any personal information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us and ask to have this personal information deleted from our files. If we otherwise obtain knowledge that we have personal information about a child under 13 in our files, we will delete that information from our existing files so that it is not in retrievable form.
SECURITY
While we use reasonable measures to protect our Site and your information, the Internet is never 100% secure. The measures we use are reasonable for the type of information we collect. We cannot guarantee use of our Site is 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet.
APPLICABLE LAW
This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Policy shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within California. If any provision of this Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.
NOTICE TO SITE USERS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE U.S.
The Hotel operates in accordance with the laws of the U.S. When you access our Site from outside the U.S., we may transfer the personal information that we collect from you to a location outside of your jurisdiction, including the U.S. The data protection laws in these jurisdictions may not provide you with the same protections as those of your jurisdiction.

Right To Know About Personal Information Collected or Disclosed. We generally describe in the Policy our current and past 12-month practices related to the categories of personal information we collect, how we collect and use the personal information, and how we disclose your personal information. In addition to what is described above, as a California resident, you also have the right to request more information regarding the following topics for the preceding 12 months, to the extent applicable:

With respect to personal information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly required by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not require a disproportionate effort by us.
Right To Request Deletion Of Your Personal Information. You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we collected or maintained about you. Once we receive your request, we will let you know what, if any, personal information we can delete from our records, and we will direct any service providers and contractors with whom we disclosed your personal information to also delete your personal information from their records.
There may be circumstances where we cannot delete your personal information or direct service providers or contractors to delete your personal information from their records. Some of these instances include, but are not limited to, if we need to:
- Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated by you within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between the Hotel and you.
- Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer's personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
- Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that confirms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the Hotel's deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if you have provided informed consent.
- To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with the Hotel and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.
Right to Request Correction. You have the right to request that the Hotel correct any inaccurate personal information we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of that information and purpose for processing it. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.
Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your Privacy Rights. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA, as described above. This includes, but is not limited to: (A) denying good or services to you; (B) charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; (C) providing a different level or quality of goods or services; or (D) suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. It also includes an employee's, applicant's, or independent contractor's right not to be retaliated against for the exercise of their CCPA rights.
Submitting Consumer Rights Requests
How to submit. To submit a California Consumer Rights request as outlined in this CCPA Section, please contact the Hotel by calling us at (800) 326-5215 Monday-Friday from 6am-5pm PST, emailing us at privacy@portolahotel.com. We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests to know, delete, or correct. 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
- the authorized agent of the consumer.
What to submit. If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive personal information to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the personal information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required or permitted by law.
Our response. 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 endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.
Questions. If you have questions about this CCPA Section, please contact us as described above in the Policy.
