CALIFORNIA DO NOT TRACK
The following statement is provided in response to California’s Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA): When you visit a website in any browser, your computer typically and automatically shares information with that website, such as cookies, your IP address, and other standard computer information. If the website contains information provided by a third party (for example, a map, advertisement, or web measurement tools such as a web beacon or scripts), some information about you may automatically be sent to the content provider. This may have several benefits, including, for example only (whether or not the same are actual benefits in this case), and without limitation, allowing you to access third party information on the website, or free or reduced cost access in exchange for accepting advertisements. However, this can impact your privacy, because it is possible for content providers to track you across multiple websites.
If you wish not to be tracked, you should explore Do Not Track options in your web browser or with your IT servicer. Our website, any associated apps, and business model are not set up to respond to Do Not Track requests, and will not respond to such requests. We also have no control over, and are not responsible for, tracking associated with third parties’ interactions with our website or app, for example and without limitation, Google Analytics and AdWords.

- Proximity based beacons send one-way signals over very short distances, to communicate with associated mobile apps installed on your phone. They can notify you, for example, about experiences related to your trip and can alert you to related deals or promotions. Beacons communicate with your device only when you are in close proximity and only if you have given consent within the relevant mobile application.
