Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the website, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP

This website may contain hyperlinks to websites operated by other parties. Such
hyperlinks are provided for your reference only. We do not control such websites
and are not responsible for their contents. You may contact them directly to ask

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information
about the user. If you do not want information collected through the use of
cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny
or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be
necessary to provide you with certain features of our Site, such as making a
reservation. Cookies can enable us to track and target the interests of our users
to enhance the user's experience on our website. Through use of cookies, we may
track and collect your IP address and other personal and non-personal information
such as the type of computer and type of web browser you use to tailor the content
to your interests and store your password to avoid you having to re-enter it every
time you access our sites. Cookies may be used to track parts of a web site that
have been visited or keep track of previous selections or purchases which can
improve your experience on our sites. Acceptance of cookies may result in you
being sent messages, offers and ads on the site we believe you may be interested
in. Any user who rejects the cookie may still use our website but use may be
limited in some areas of our website. Use of cookies is standard in most industries
and used by most major commercial web sites. Our business partners use cookies on
our website. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Online Advertising
We may use a third party company to serve online advertisements on our behalf
across the Internet. During this process, we may collect information about your
visits to our website. This is primarily accomplished through the use of a
technology commonly referred to as a Web Beacon or Action Tag, which we place
on various pages of our website and allows the third party to collect anonymous
information. The information tracked is completely anonymous; it contains no
personal information about any individuals. The anonymous information collected
is used only to track our advertising's effectiveness and improve our advertising. If
you would like more information about this practice, or if you prefer not to have
this information used, Click Here.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our website requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user, therefore, has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include personal information (such as
contact information, name and address), and demographic information (such as
zip code, age level).
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to confirm membership. Established
members will receive information on services and special deals. Out of respect
for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types
of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personal information changes (such as your zip code), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we will correct, update or remove that
user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by using the
"Contact Us" link, emailing us at OptOut@LuxuryResorts.com or by contacting us directly at: WHM LLC
501 E. Camino Real Boulevard
Boca Raton, Florida 33431
Phone: (561) 347-4242
Choice/Opt-out
Your opportunity to 'opt-out' described above may in some instances be made
selectively. For example, our reservation process has an 'opt-out' mechanism
so users who book a room from us, but do not want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our lists. All our emails promoting special deals
to our members contain a link to Opt-out of receiving future emails. You may also
use the "Contact Us" page to Opt-Out of receiving emails in the future.
Site Security
We want you to feel confident about using the Site for your travel, so we have
implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems
protected from unauthorized access. By making your travel purchase on our secure
server, you are protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by
most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, to ensure a
safe transmission. This technology allows us to use the most advanced encryption
tools necessary to protect information transmitted between your computer and our
server. Through encryption, the personal information you enter, including your
name, address, and credit-card information, is converted into code that is then
securely dispatched over the Internet. Once your secure server receives your
encrypted personal information, it is translated back into its original form
and stored in our off-line database. Your credit card information is not
transmitted over the Internet again.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user website and service announcement updates. We communicate
with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email or phone.
Notification of Changes
If we make changes to this Privacy Statement in the future, the revised Privacy
Statement will be accessible and displayed through a link on this website to keep
you advised of any revisions to the types of information we collect and the types
of third parties with whom we may share the information.
This privacy statement was updated on December 5, 2005.
