California Privacy Disclosures

California law requires us to disclose the following additional information related to our privacy practices. If you are a California resident, the following privacy disclosures apply to you in addition to the rest of the policy.

  • California Shine the Light. California residents may be entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal information (if any) we share with third parties or affiliates for direct marketing. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of such notice, please submit a written request to us using the information in the “Contact Information” section below.

  • California Notice of Financial Incentive. Guests may enroll in WHR to obtain free hotel stays, promotions, and exclusive offers. When a guest signs up for WHR, we ask for their contact information and communication preferences. After a guest signs up we keep track of hotel stays, reservations, and point redemptions. Because WHR involves the collection of personal information, it might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. The value of your personal information is related to the value of the free or discounted products, services, or hotel stays that you obtain when you redeem points. This value is based on the expense related to providing those free or discounted products, services, or hotel stays.

You may withdraw from participating in WHR at any time by calling a WorldHotels Rewards call center. Visit the WHR Terms and Conditions page to view full program rules, including how to join.

  • Notice of Collection. The table below describes the categories of personal information we collect, disclose for a business purpose, “sell” and/or “share” (as those terms are defined by California law). Please note, in addition to the recipients identified below, we may disclose any of the categories of personal information we collect with government entities, as may be needed to comply with law or prevent illegal activity. We do not “sell” the personal information of California residents for money. As discussed elsewhere in the Privacy Policy, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes of targeted advertising. For more information, please see our Cookie Preference Center. For details regarding how we use personal information, please see the Use and Processing of the Information We Collect section of the Privacy Policy. For information regarding how long we retain personal information, please refer to the How Long We Retain Information section of the Privacy Policy.
