Additional Information for California Residents

For California residents, “personal information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household.

Sensitive Personal Information

Crestline does not infer characteristics from sensitive personal information. We only use sensitive personal information as necessary to perform the services or provide the goods the average person would reasonably expect when requesting those goods or services, to ensure security and integrity, short term transient use, to maintain the quality of our products and services, or for other purposes permitted by the California Privacy Rights Act and implementing regulations (“CPRA”) without the right to opt out.

Disclosures for Business Purposes
Crestline has disclosed each of the categories of personal information it collects for the following “business purposes”, as that term is defined under the CPRA, in the last 12 months:

  • Service providers: For the business purpose of performing services on Crestline’s behalf and, in particular, for the specific purposes described in Section 3, above.
  • Auditors, lawyers, consultants, and accountants engaged by Crestline: For the business purpose of auditing compliance with policies and applicable laws, in addition to performing services on Crestline’s behalf.
  • Affiliated companies: To other companies within the Crestline family of companies for the business purposes of (1) auditing compliance with policies and applicable laws, (2) helping to ensure security and integrity, (3) debugging, (4) short-term transient use, (5) performing services on behalf of Crestline, (6) internal research, and (7) activities to maintain or improve the quality or safety of a service or device.

If you live in California, you have the following additional rights related to your personal information collected by us:

Right to Know

As a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information and the specific pieces of personal information obtained from you.

Right to Delete

As a California resident, you have the right to request that we delete all or some of the personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. You may submit a verifiable request (see “Submitting Requests” below) that may result in:

  • The permanent and complete erasing of your personal information on our existing systems, with the exception of archived or back-up systems;
  • De-identifying your personal information so that it can no longer identify you. An example of deidentified information would be the data point that an unidentified visitor first entered our site through our main web page. We maintain deidentified information in a deidentified form and do not attempt to reidentify it, except that we may attempt to reidentify the information just to determine whether our deidentification processes function correctly; or
  • Aggregating your personal information with other information so that it can no longer identify you.

Right to Correct

You have the right to submit a verifiable request for the correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of processing the personal information.

Right to Non-Discrimination

As a California resident, you have a right not to be subject to discriminatory treatment as a result of exercising the rights conferred upon you by California law. In other words, the quality and price of the goods and services we offer will not be modified because you exercised your rights described above.

Submitting Requests

To exercise your rights to know, correct, or delete, as described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by either:

Only you, or an authorized agent, may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable request to know twice within a 12-month period. Each verifiable request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative of such person; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We may ask for additional personal information to verify your identity by matching this information against information in our files. We cannot 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.

We will respond to requests to know, delete, and correct in accordance with applicable law. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Authorized Agents

If an authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, the authorized agent must submit with the request another document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, we may ask you or your authorized agent to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity. You can obtain the “Authorized Agent Designation” form by contacting us at privacy@crestlinehotels.com. In the alternative, you can provide a power of attorney compliant with the California Probate Code.

Disclosures for Direct Marketing Purposes

California consumers who use the services may request that we provide certain information regarding our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. You can make such a request by e-mail to privacy@crestlinehotels.com .

Tracking Across Time and Different Sites

The Site tracks your online activities over time and across websites or online services on an individually identifiable basis. For example, we may serve you advertisements on other websites based on what appeared to interest you on our Site. We do allow third parties to use our Site to track your activities over time or across other websites.

“Cookies” and “Do Not Track” Signals

Your internet activity and geolocation data may be automatically collected by us through the standard operation of our internet servers and through the use of “cookies”. Where those cookies are not strictly necessary for the provision of the website, your consent to the use of cookies is requested when you first visit our website.

Cookies are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the website, track usage behavior, and compile aggregate data that allows for content improvements and targeted advertising. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to each customer that has no meaning outside the assigning website.

If you do not want your internet activity or similar information tracked or collected through the use of cookies, you should review your web browser settings. Most web browsers allow a user to restrict these functions; however, you should note that disabling cookies may prevent certain website features from functioning properly.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (DNT) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including our Site, do not currently respond to web browser DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. For more information about DNT signals, please visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

How We Retain and Protect Your Personal Information

We may retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected or as long as required or permitted by applicable laws. This means that we may continue to use your personal information after termination of our relationship with you for certain purposes permitted by law, such as record keeping or other internal purposes.

We understand that the privacy and security of your personal information is important to you. In keeping with this understanding, and with our legal obligations, we utilize appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal information.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement at any time. When we make changes to this Privacy Statement, we will post the updated Privacy Statement on the website and provide notice to you as required by law. You are responsible for periodically reviewing this Privacy Statement. The Privacy Statement posted at any time on this website shall be deemed the Privacy Statement then in effect. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Statement.
