H18YC (“Hotels 18 Years Check-In”) operates hotels18yearscheckin.com and may operate other websites. It is H18YC’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, H18YC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. H18YC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how H18YC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, H18YC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
H18YC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on hotels18yearscheckin.com blogs/sites. H18YC only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to H18YC’s websites choose to interact with H18YC in ways that require H18YC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that H18YC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at hotels18yearscheckin.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with H18YC are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, H18YC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with H18YC. H18YC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
H18YC may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. H18YC may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, H18YC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
H18YC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on H18YC’s behalf or to provide services available at H18YC’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using H18YC’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. H18YC will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, H18YC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when H18YC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of H18YC, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an H18YC website and have supplied your email address, H18YC may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with H18YC and our products.

H18YC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
