Categories of Information Millennium Collects

Reservations
To process a reservation for a Millennium Hotel, Millennium will ask for the customer’s name, mailing address, billing address, electronic-mail information, telephone number, credit-card information, arrival and departure dates, and airline frequent-flier information or information on similar customer-loyalty programs. Millennium also asks for the customer’s room preferences and any special requests or needs.

Customer Service
When Millennium customers make customer-service requests, Millennium will ask for the customer’s name, mailing address or electronic-mail information, telephone number and other information that will allow Millennium to respond to the request or to resolve any problems at our Hotels.

Electronic Surveys
Millennium conducts online surveys from time to time to evaluate its services. Participation in such surveys is voluntary, but customer information is collected for verification purposes, such as name, mailing address, and electronic mail address.

Contests
Millennium Hotels sometimes offer special promotions, contests, or sweepstakes through which customers can win prizes. Each of these promotions, contests and sweepstakes will have a set of terms and conditions that apply to that event. In some cases, the customer is automatically entered in the contest simply by using the Millennium website or meeting some other condition for that contest. In entering such a promotion, contest, or sweepstake, the customer’s name, electronic-mail address, or other personal information will be collected to identify the customer and for notification purposes.

Cookies
"Cookies" are bits of electronic information (strings of text) that a computer user’s browser and operating system store on the user's computer hard drive. For example, cookies can store a user's electronic personal identification and password, identify which parts of a website the user visits, and keep track of purchases or selections the user made on visits to the website. The use of cookies is quite common.

Millennium may issue and use cookies to enhance the customer's visit and the services offered on the sites. Websites often consist of many pages of content. Cookies allow the customer to find the information and offers of interest quickly and easily. The use of cookie technology may help Millennium to achieve that objective.

Millennium may issue and use cookies to keep track of the areas of the websites that interest customers. In doing so, Millennium can determine aspects of websites that are most popular. Improvements and updates to the Millennium website are often based on such data. This information can be tracked best with cookies.

Customers who visit websites may be presented with targeted advertising and special offers both directly through the website and from electronic mail based on preferences collected by cookies.

Customers who register under websites and allow their computers to accept cookies provide information by which Millennium can both align the customer with his or her personal preferences and provide faster and easier access to the Millennium website's benefits.

Customers who submit electronic-mail addresses may receive targeted messages that Millennium believes may be of interest. Any customer may, at any time, request to be removed from such electronic lists and Millennium will comply with the request.

Customers can choose to accept or reject cookies by modification to the computer browser. These options are generally set forth in files or menus listing "Internet Options".

Millennium FGR
Enrolment to the Millennium Frequent Guest Recognition Programme known as the "FGR" is by invitation only. The information that a customer provides to Millennium at the time of enrolment as a member of the Programme may be accessed, reviewed and updated at any time by the customer visiting the website and logging on using the customer’s FGR Membership Number and Password, and clicking on to "Update My Profile".

Use of Information Collected
Millennium may share the customer information it collects with its personnel and with the owners and operators of Millennium Hotels. Millennium may also share information with select third parties who offer goods or services that may be of interest to Millennium customers. Millennium may also share such information with other companies with whom it has entered into cooperative or co-sponsored promotions, products, or services. When customers use credit cards to purchase goods or services, Millennium may share information provided by customers with the credit card company.

Legal Requirements
Millennium will also disclose customer information, without the customer's permission, if Millennium believes, in good faith, that such disclosures are required by any applicable law or court order or if such disclosures are necessary to investigate activities that may be harmful or injurious to the Millennium website, to Millennium guests, employees, or agents, or to any Millennium hotels.

Service Providers
Millennium relies on third parties to provide services both through the Millennium website and in other communications. While Millennium generally requires such providers to conform to these privacy policies and guidelines, Millennium cannot control and shall not be responsible for their conduct if they fail to abide by these policies and guidelines.

Third Party Websites
Millennium cannot control and is not responsible for the collection of personal information by third-party websites, including websites owned or controlled by hotel room sellers, travel companies, or other distributors or any websites not controlled or authorized by Millennium. Customers may be able to access third-party websites through links on the Millennium websites. Such third-party websites have their own separate privacy practices.
