This privacy policy applies to the website operated by Grand Hotel referred to as “Grand Hotel” herein.
Website Visitors
Except as described below, Grand Hotel does not collect or require visitors to the website to furnish personally identifying information such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Like most website operators, Grand Hotel does collect non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, operating system, language preference, referring site and date and time of each visitor request. Grand Hotel also collects potentially-personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These are non-personally identifying in and of themselves, but could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify users.
Grand Hotel’s purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how Grand Hotel’s visitors use its website. To that end, Grand Hotel may share potentially-personally identifying information with its employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries. Grand Hotel will not publicly release potentially-personally identifying information except under the same circumstances as Grand Hotel releases personally identifying information.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Where Grand Hotel has collected personally identifying information, it discloses that information only to those of its employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries that need to know that information in order to process it on Grand Hotel’s behalf and that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Additionally, Grand Hotel may need to transfer personally identifying information to an affiliate or successor in the event of a change of our corporate structure or status, such as in the event of a restructuring, sale, or bankruptcy. We will retain any personally identifying information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. Grand Hotel does not rent or sell personally identifying information to anyone.
Cookies
What Are Cookies? A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Most major websites use cookies. Because the browser provides this cookie information to the website at each visit, cookies serve as a sort of label that allows a website to “recognize” a browser when it returns to the site. The domain name in Grand Hotel cookies will clearly identify their affiliation with Grand Hotel and, where applicable, its third-party service provider.
How We Use Cookies. Grand Hotel’s website uses cookies to help Grand Hotel identify and track visitors, their usage of the Grand Hotel website, and their website access preferences across multiple requests and visits to Grand Hotel’s website. The basic idea is to gather aggregate data about how people use the Grand Hotel website. The term usually used to describe this is “web analytics” and the cookies are the tools by which a website owner collects this web analytics data.
Grand Hotel will use the web analytics data only to determine aggregate usage patterns for our website as described above. The Grand Hotel website does this by using either our own internal analytics software or by sending this information to a third-party service provider to help Grand Hotel analyze this data. Grand Hotel has agreements with its third-party service providers that they will not share this information with others or use the information for purposes other than to maintain the services they provide to Grand Hotel. It is possible to link cookies to personally identifying information, thereby permitting website operators, including our third-party analytics providers, to track the online movements of particular individuals. Grand Hotel does not do so and its third-party service providers are not allowed to correlate Grand Hotel data with any other data.
Grand Hotel uses the information provided by cookies to develop a better understanding of how Grand Hotel’s visitors use Grand Hotel’s website, and to facilitate those visitors’ interactions with Grand Hotel’s website. Grand Hotel may make the aggregate data obtained from web analytics (including from our third-party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally identifying information or potentially-personally identifying information.
How to Control the Use of Cookies. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Grand Hotel visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers by Grand Hotel, its contractors, or third-party service providers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before linking to Grand Hotel’s website. Certain features of Grand Hotel’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Opt-out Procedures
If you do not want data about your visits to the Grand Hotel website to be collected by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on keeps your visits anonymous and prohibits any data from being sent to Google Analytics. Additionally, if you signed up to receive but no longer wish to receive electronic marketing communications from Grand Hotel, you can opt-out from receiving these communications by following the “unsubscribe” instructions in any such communication you receive.

Legal Process and Other Disclosures
Consistent with our privacy commitments, we will scrutinize third party requests for information about you for compliance with the law, including those coming from governmental agencies or civil litigants. We may access, use, preserve or disclose information about you only when we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to do so to satisfy the applicable law, regulation, legal process or lawful governmental request of any country, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Grand Hotel, its users or the public. We will provide notice of legal process or governmental requests unless prohibited to do so by law or the circumstances warrant otherwise.
