This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through your (“User” or “you”) use of this website, your use of any affiliated third party websites that may contain a link to this Privacy Policy, or to any pages, facilities, services, or capabilities accessible on or by any top-level The Park Vista a DoubleTree by Hilton domain owned by us, as well as software applications made available by us for use on or through computers and mobile devices (the “Apps”) (each, a “Site” and collectively the “Sites”), and through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). By providing Personal Information to us, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

Third Parties

We may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Apps or Sites. If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information may be collected by such third party and not by us and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to a third party when you ask us to do so or when we believe it is required by law.

If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Personal Information

We and our third-party service providers may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:

• Through the Sites, Apps and Services: We may collect Personal Information through the Apps and the Services, such as when you sign up for the App or make a purchase or booking.
• From Other Sources: We may receive your Personal Information from other sources, such as public databases; social network integration; joint marketing partners; online travel/restaurant companies; booking engines; social media platforms; people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected on social media platforms; and other third parties. For example, if you choose to connect your social media account to your App account, certain Personal Information from your social media account will be shared with us, and it may include Personal Information that is part of your profile or your friends’ profiles.

How We Use Personal Information

We will only use or disclose your Personal Information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use or disclose your Personal Information in the following circumstances:

• where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
• where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or
• where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Information other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Please note that if, in the event we rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, and you withdraw your consent we may no longer be able to provide you with: (a) updates and promotions; (b) the best user experience possible to our Services; (c) the best customer experience.

How We May Collect Other Information / Online Tracking

We and our third party service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

We may use the information for such purposes as security, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, to personalize your experience, to understand how the Services are used, to improve the Services and to assist us with resolving questions regarding them. Cookies may further allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Services. We may also use cookies to track responses to our online advertisements. We do not track your activities when you are on third-party websites, but we or our service providers may track your actions with respect to our ads placed on third-party websites. We do not honor browser do-not-track signals at this time.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you may wish to refer to https://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. If, however, you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Services.
