USE OF AGGREGATED INFORMATION We are constantly improving the Site and adding new features and services. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of the Site for marketing purposes and to study, improve and promote use of the Site. In connection with such purposes, Gurney's may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal information about individual Site users. EXCEPTIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY Gurney’s Resorts has two exceptions to these limits on use of personal information: Gurney's may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of Gurney's from unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site. Gurney's may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual. USE OF COOKIES To enable features at the Site, Gurney's may assign one or more "cookies" to your Internet browser. Cookies, among other things, speed navigation through our Site, keep track of information so that you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site, and may provide you with customized content. A cookie is an Internet mechanism composed of a small text file containing a unique identification number that permits a web server to send small pieces of information or text means of your browser and place them on your computer's hard drive for storage. This text lets the web server know if you have previously visited the web page. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. We use cookies to collect and maintain aggregate information about Site use. While in the process of browsing our site, you supply non-personal information -- what type of destination you're exploring, etc. We use this aggregated data only as explained in this Privacy Policy. We do not connect aggregated data to any name, address, or other identifying information. You may occasionally receive cookies from unaffiliated companies or organizations, to the extent they place advertising on our Site or are linked to the Site. These third-party cookies may collect information about you when you "click" on their advertising or content or link. This practice is standard in the Internet industry. Because of the way in which the Internet operates, we cannot control collection of this information by these third parties, and these cookies are not subject to this Privacy Policy. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY & PARENTAL CONSENT This Site is not designed or intended for anyone under age 18, and minors are expressly requested by Gurney's not to use this site or submit personal information. Our privacy policy prohibits the acceptance of users who are under the age of 18. Should Gurney's inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 18, Gurney's will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever. LINKS PROVIDED TO OTHER SITES Gurney's may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Gurney's. Gurney's therefore is not responsible for the privacy policies or the actions of any third parties including without limitation, any website owners whose sites may be reached through this Site. Please contact the relevant parties controlling these sites or access their on-line privacy policies before submitting any personal information. YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY Use of the Site signifies your consent, as well as the consent of the company for whom you use the Site and whose information you submit (if any), to this online Privacy Policy, including the collection and use of information by Gurney's, as described in this statement, and also signifies agreement to the terms of use for the Site. POLICY MODIFICATIONS & CONTACTING GURNEY'S Gurney's reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time; notice of changes will be published on this page. Changes will always be prospective, not retroactive. Should the Site make any material changes to the Privacy Policy that substantially alter the use of your personal information, Site shall notify you of such change through an email if you have supplied your email address to Site. In that email, you will be afforded an explicit opportunity to remove your Personal Information from Site. If you have questions about our policies, please contact [email protected].
