THE CHICAGO HOTEL COLLECTION PRIVACY POLICY
(a) How we protect your information:
We want you to feel confident about using this website, and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. While no website can guarantee security, we have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures intended to protect the personal information you provide to us. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may only do so for permitted business functions. We use encryption when transmitting your sensitive personal information between your system and ours. We employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your information.
(b) Children’s Privacy
This is a general audience website and does not offer service directed to children. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to inform the child that we must have parental consent before receiving the child’s personal information.
