Information Collection and Use
Demographic and profile data is collected at our site and we use this data
in two main ways. First, we analyze visitor information in aggregate - that
is, we collect information about thousands of site visits and analyze it
as a whole. This kind of study involves looking for trends among many visitors
to our site, rather than analyzing information about any individual visitor.
Examples include researching which parts of the site are accessed most frequently
or determining which products are most attractive to our users. Second, we
may use information you provide to help us customize our communications with
you and improve our service to you when you stay at the Cliff House Inn
or any of the Kimpton Boutique Hotels. For instance, if you inform us of
a room or service preference, we will attempt to satisfy that request when
you visit us in the future. We use third parties to build and manage these
communication and preference systems, and our arrangements with these third
parties prohibit them from disclosing your personal information.
The Cliff House Inn may use aggregated, statistical information to describe our site traffic and to establish advertising and other business relationships with third parties. The Cliff House Inndoes not provide any of your personal information to any third party advertiser.
Third Party Internet Sites
Third party Internet sites available through advertising and other links on
our site have separate privacy and data collection practices. We have no
responsibility or liability for these third party policies or actions. Please
refer to the privacy statement of any applicable third party site when providing
personally identifiable information.
The Security of Your Information
We work diligently to protect the security of your personal information, including
credit card information, during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. Your data is kept in
a highly secure environment protected from access by unauthorized parties.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your customer profile by ensuring that you logoff when you have finished
visiting our site.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in a browser-related
file on your computer's hard drive when you visit our site. We use cookies
to improve your experience, for instance, by allowing you to login without
typing the registered email address or registration number and password.
We also use them to deliver information and fresh content specific to your
interests. Cookies are widely used on most major sites.
Browser Monitor
We may employ a browser monitor within Web pages on our site in order to determine
your browser status and the client-side metrics relating to page loading.
We constantly seek ways to improve page load times for our visitors and may
ultimately use these metrics for such purposes. Any such browser monitor
will only be active while the user is active on our site. For your protection,
any such browser monitor will not require an executable (*.exe) application.
IP Address
Like most Internet sites, we use your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our server, and to administer our site. Your IP address is also used
to gather broad demographic information.
Children
Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important to us. For that
reason, we never collect or maintain information at our site from those we
actually know are under 13, and no part of our site is intended for use by
those under 13.
