provide
functionality and content that we believe would be of interest
and value to you.
The type of
cookies that we use are referred to as "persistent"
cookies because they remain on a user's computer hard drive
until they are deleted by the user. We do not use cookies to
gather information concerning your visits to other sites, nor
ascertain any personal information about you apart from your
dealings with KKDATA.com and your transaction history with
KKDATA. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer or
computer files.
In addition,
the service providers (Reporting.net and Linkshare.com) we use
to serve and host our advertisements use cookies to track the
number of times KKDATA.com is accessed and whether the site
was accessed from an advertisement. The cookie generated from
the advertisement does not contain any personal information
and may remain on your hard drive until it is deleted by you.
If you do
not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to
reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your
particular browser on how to do this), although doing so may
affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our
website.
Pixel
Tags: The third party advertising companies
mentioned above serve and host KKDATA advertisements on other
sites. To track the effectiveness of KKDATA advertisements on
other sites, KKDATA.com uses pixel tags (also known as
"clear gifs", "beacon gifs", "1-by-1
gifs", or "web bugs"). Pixel tags are not
visible to the user of the site and consist of a few lines of
computer coding. If you are visiting KKDATA.com from an
advertisement on another site, the pixel tag references the
cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The
pixel tag then registers this activity with the third party
advertising company to allow us to count the number of times
an advertisement is accessed. At no time is personal
information about you or your reservation collected by the
third party advertising company, nor is any tracking
information generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used by
them for any other purpose other than to report web site
activity to us. If a user accesses KKDATA.com directly, the
third party advertising companies may assign a cookie but any
information associated with the cookie from your activity on
KKDATA.com is discarded because there is no corresponding
cookie from a KKDATA advertisement on another site.
Information
Needed to Execute the Transaction You Request: When
we need to collect information from you, we will ask you to
voluntarily supply us with the information we need. We will
use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if
necessary, might use the other information to contact you for
help to process the request.
We may also
ask you to fill out an online customer survey, to obtain your
suggestions or comments about your use of KKDATA services, or
for similar purposes. Providing this information is voluntary
and it is used only for the purpose for which the information
was collected and is not used for direct marketing or shared
with other companies.
Securing
the Transmission and Storage of Information: When
we ask you for personal data when making a reservation or
purchasing a gift certificate, including your name, address
and credit card data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets
Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels
over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such
information is transmitted from your computer. You will know
you are in secure mode when the padlock icon in the lower
right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears
in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure
server, the first characters of the site address will change
from "http" to "https." After information
reaches KKDATA it is stored on a secure server that resides
behind a firewall that is designed to block access from
outside the Company.
E-Mail:
It is our intention to only send you e-mail communications
that will be useful to you and that you want to receive. We
will occasionally contact you via e-mail and provide
information about products and offerings that may be of
interest to you. These communications will typically relate to
special KKDATA offers and promotions and/or the promotions of
our partners. If you would prefer not to receive such e-mails
you may indicate so in your profile.
KKDATA
Use of Information: We treat the information you
provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly,
subject to our company's security procedures and strict
corporate policies regarding protection and use of
confidential information. Because laws applicable to personal
information vary by country, our business operations may put
in place additional measures that vary depending on the
applicable legal requirements. Information is generally
processed and stored in the United States, in which data
protection laws are not as comprehensive as in the European
Union.
Disclosure
of Information to Third Parties: KKDATA prohibits
the sale or transfer of personal information to entities
outside of the KKDATA family of companies and hotels for their
use without your approval and giving you the opportunity to
opt-out.

site via links to other non-KKDATA sites, including those of

policies or content of those sites, nor is KKDATA responsible
for the cookies those sites use.

Issues: This is a United States website and is
subject to United States law. KKDATA will disclose personal
information without your permission when required by law, or
in good faith belief that such action is necessary to
investigate or protect against harmful activities to KKDATA
