In order to use our Services, you will need to register and create a user account ("User Account"). There is no cost to create a User Account in most cases.

| SPECIAL PROMOTIONS |
|
To participate in some Services such as contests and surveys ("Special Promotions"), you will need to provide personally identifiable information. Your information may be collected by York Hotel or by a third party, such as a co-sponsor or a vendor involved in, or providing services in connection with, a Special Promotion.
If you enter a contest or other Special Promotion on one of our sites or through our Services, York Hotel will collect your personally identifiable information, and you are deemed to consent to us providing your information to third parties who provide certain services such as customer service, promotion administration, and/or prize delivery, as applicable. (As more fully described below in Use, Disclosure, and Sharing of Information - Personally Identifiable Information, these third parties are prohibited from using this information for their own marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise distributing any personal data of our customers, unless you choose to opt in for such additional uses and/or disclosure by the third parties, under their respective privacy policies.)
If you enter a promotion (such as a contest) in which York Hotel is participating on a third party's site (or through some other means or medium), we will collect your information from the third party only if you opt-in to receive additional communications from us, or we are required to fulfill some function in relation to your activity (e.g., to deliver a prize).

|
|
|
| INFORMATION COLLECTED BY OTHER MEANS OR MEDIA |
|
|
In some situations, we may also collect personally identifiable information and other information about you through other means, directly or indirectly. For example, if you access any York Hotel content, or access such content through another third party, York Hotel may collect information directly from you or through the third party. Likewise, if you use our software, or provide information to other companies who share information about their customers, we may collect additional information about you. In each of these cases, York Hotel will apply this policy to any personally identifiable information.

|
|
| NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT |
|
As part of the process for some Services, you may be asked to provide information that does not personally identify you. For example, you may be asked to provide information concerning your preferences. This information is generally optional but may be included in your User Account profile. York Hotel requests this information to understand you better and to also bring to your attention new services, programs, or offers that may be of interest to you.
In many cases, York Hotel will automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of its sites and Services. York Hotel might collect, among other things, information concerning the type of Internet browser or computer operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your "click path" through the York Hotel sites or "click-through" from an e-mail, the site or advertisement that was linked to or from the York Hotel Site when you visited, and your IP address. To do this, York Hotel may use cookies and other technology (see below). If you are using a wireless device to access the Services, we may also automatically collect information such as the type of wireless device you are using. Your use of our Web sites and Services, and information provided through these technologies, will be anonymous unless you provide us with personally identifiable information or have provided such information in the past.

York Hotel uses information about you to deliver the Services that you request, to keep you informed about changes affecting our Services or your account, to inform you of other Services or offers in which you might be interested, and to improve and enhance our sites and Services. If you provide York Hotel with personally identifiable information, we will take all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect it from unauthorized disclosure.
If you opt in to receive e-mail from us, you can always opt out of future marketing messages by following the directions in each message to "unsubscribe." However, if you choose to opt out of marketing messages, we reserve the right to contact you regarding your account status, technical support, product information, changes to account terms, and any other matter that might affect our service to you and/or any products you purchased from us or registered with us, as applicable.
As stated in the Terms of Service, you will be deemed to have consented to the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of a York Hotel site or Service, of any information about you contained in the applicable York Hotel database, if York Hotel or one of its companies assigns its rights and obligations regarding any of your information at the time of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of York Hotel's or such York Hotel company's assets related to the applicable site or Service to a subsequent owner or operator. In the event of such a merger, acquisition, or sale, your continued use of the Site or any related Service signifies your agreement to be bound by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of the Site's or Service's subsequent owner or operator.
York Hotel may work together with third party companies in order to provide portions of the York Hotel sites and some Services (e.g., to provide other support for a Service). These companies will handle your personally identifiable information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
As stated above in Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect - Special Promotions, York Hotel may also work with third parties to provide some Services on our sites. In connection with those Services, you are deemed to consent to us sharing your information with third parties who provide services such as promotion administration, and/or prize delivery, as applicable. Third parties who provide, or participate in, Services on York Hotel sites are prohibited from using our customers' personally identifiable information for marketing purposes and/or from sharing, selling, or otherwise using such information, unless you choose to opt in to marketing, sharing, or other uses by the third parties. If you do not want your information to be used for marketing (or other purposes unrelated to the provision of York Hotel Services) by a third party who participates in a Service on one of our sites, do not opt in to such use by that third party when you register to participate in the Service.
Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
York Hotel will not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personally identifiable information that we have collected except as stated herein, or in the following instances: 1) we have been given your consent to disclose; 2) we have previously informed you of the disclosure, including by means of our Privacy Policy or on the Site, or through the Service where you provided your information; 3) we are required by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; 4) disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may cause or be causing harm to, or interference with, York Hotel's rights or property, other York Hotel Site users, or anyone else; or 5) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. York Hotel may also use IP addresses in cooperation with Internet service providers to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service, or to protect our sites, customers, or others.
