At this time, we do not respond to browser “do not track” signals, but we do provide you the option to opt out of interest-based advertising. To learn more about IBA or to opt-out of this type of advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance website. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.

TRANSFERRING PERSONAL DATA 

Your personal data may be transferred, processed and/or stored in a country other than the one in which your personal data is collected. The personal data we collect from you is currently held within the United States. It is possible that in the future such personal data may be transferred, stored and/or processed outside the United States. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing and/or processing. You should be aware that countries outside the United States may not offer the same level of data protection as the United States. However, we will only allow such data transfer outside the United States if we have a legally allowable method and we have implemented procedures to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the personal data regardless of where it is being transferred.

In connection with the sale or transfer of some or all of our business assets, we may transfer the corresponding information regarding our guests. We also may retain a copy of that guest information.
