Information We Collect

We collect Personal Information you provide to us and when you use the Sites and/or our Services. We collect Personal Information in order improve our services, to deliver services and perform obligations under contracts we have with you, to comply with our own legal obligations, and for other purposes as described below.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any Personal Information you post to the Sites or provide to us when you set up a User Account, sign up for our newsletters or promotions, purchase Services, plan meetings or events, apply for employment, or make a reservation at one the Properties. For example, if you make a reservation at one of the Properties, we will ask you for information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number, and room preference to process your reservation. We may use your email address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, may use the other information to contact you for help to process the reservation. As indicated below, we may also use your email address to notify you about special offers and promotions, including from Columbia Hospitality, the management company of Inn at Abeja Vineyards LLC, and our partners. You can choose not to provide such Personal Information, in which case you will not be able to access or use portions of the Sites or some of their features.

Automated Collection: We automatically receive and store certain types of information when you visit the Sites, such as the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the IP address of the computer you are using and the browser and operating system you are using; the date and time you access the Sites; the Internet address of the website from which you linked to the Sites; any search terms you used to find the Sites; the device identifiers and mobile and network information, and your actions on the Sites.

Payment and Credit Card Information: We may require your credit card or other payment information in order to process purchases and reservations. In limited cases, we may also collect information relating to the credit of customers.

Log Data: Our web servers may collect "log data." Log data provides aggregate information about the number of visits to different pages on the Sites. We use log data for troubleshooting purposes and to track which pages people visit in order to improve the Sites. Third-party vendors may also collect aggregate log data independently from us.


Cookies and Other Technologies: We automatically receive and store certain types of information when you visit the Sites through the use of cookies, web beacons, or similar programs to collect the information described above. Cookies are strings of text that a website may store on your computer. Cookies enable the Sites to keep track of your preferences and activities when you use or visit the Sites.

The Sites create session cookies for each visit in order to facilitate your visit. The session cookie expires at the end of the session.


We may also use "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for much longer. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer or computer files.


We use cookies for authentication, to remember your settings, to keep track of your activity during a visit to the Site, to conduct usability tests, to improve Site performance, and to implement certain features of the Site.


We use analytics and customisation cookies, including third party cookies, to gather information on how our Sites are being used by our visitors and to measure how popular our marketing campaigns are. We use the data we get to help customize our Sites and services for you and make the content you see as relevant as possible. We may also use the data we collect to help identify and prevent fraud, and to track visits from our affiliates or partners.


Social networking cookies allow visitors to share our pages and content through third-party social networking websites.


Targeting/advertising cookies help us to customize and regulate (e.g., by capping the frequency of) the advertisements you receive, provide you with tailored offers, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. For instance, if we target an ad campaign through an online advertising network, we might use cookies on our Sites to estimate how many viewers of the ad later visited our Sites – and therefore, how effective the ad campaign was. Or, we might "retarget" visitors to our Sites by providing them offers (whether through online display media, email or direct mail) similar to those they viewed or expressed interest in during their Site visits.


You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. In addition, some Sites may request your consent to the placement of cookies. If you consent, you may later remove cookies as your browser permits. If you reject or remove cookies, you may still use our Sites, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Sites may be limited. For more information about the use of cookies and how to block them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org, www.youronlinechoices.eu (Europe) or www.aboutads.info/choices (United States).


You may opt out of receiving personalized advertisements from advertising companies that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative or who subscribe to the Digital Advertising Alliance's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices and www.aboutads.info/choices.

Our business partners may also use cookies on our Sites for the same general purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, including to improve their own marketing, products or services. Third parties may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. Third parties we work with may also use other "device-graphing" information in order to make inferences and connections about our customers and potential customers across various devices – such as mobile phones, tablets and browsers. (These companies may, for instance, make inferences that devices seen at a common IP address are used by common users.) Companies that we share information with may use the information we provide to them, often in combination with their existing information, to provide you with more relevant advertising. Please see the "Do not Track" section below for more information regarding personalized advertisements and your "Do not Track" options.


Web Beacons: Some of the pages on the Sites may contain electronic images known as web beacons that allow use to count the number of users who have visited those pages. These collect only limited information such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. These web beacons do not carry any personal Information and you cannot opt-out or refuse them. However, where they operate with cookies, you can render them ineffective by changing the cookie setting in your browser.

Marketing emails: We use third party service providers to send our marketing emails. There are no cookies in the email. However, they may contain e-tags, which permits you to share the mail via social sites to which you subscribe. In addition, when you click on a link to the Sites included in the email, a persistent cookie is placed on your computer. This cookie is used to measure the effectiveness of our email marketing efforts, better understand how our users navigate through the Sites, and enhance user experience. To that end, we collect a variety of information about how you interact with our marketing efforts, including how many times the email is opened and/or clicked, the browser type used, operating system, user email program, etc. The cookie set by our service providers will remain on your hard drive 30 days after the last time you clicked on the coded link in the email, or until you delete it.

In addition, the third parties that assist with our marketing emails may use pixel tags that help us send the email in a format you can read, to allow us to know which emails you act upon and to better target the content of future emails. We also use these tags to track the aggregate number of emails read and whether any of the links in the email were accessed.

Advertisements: We use third party service providers to serve and host our advertisements. You may receive our ads on these third party sites. These third parties use persistent cookies to track the number of times our site is accessed and whether the site was accessed from the advertisement. The cookies generated from the advertisements do not contain Personal Information and may remain on your hard drive three or more years unless you delete them. If you do not want Personal Information about you used for this purpose, you may opt-out by following the procedure described below. Note, however, that where we use a third party to provide advertising, email marketing or similar services, each such third party will have its own opt-out process, which it will manage and control. You will need to follow those procedures to opt-out of the services they provide.

Personal Profiles: We may collect and maintain Personal Information about you to create a personal profile containing your preferences and other information that you voluntarily provide. This profile may also include information we have obtained from other sources. Examples of the types of information we may collect for this purpose include (i) high vs. low floor, smoking vs. non- smoking room, beverage and pillow type preferences; (ii) whether you participate in travel rewards programs; (iii) email communications with you; and (iv) responses to customer service surveys. Creating and completing a member profile allows you to make reservations more easily and also allows us to enhance your experiences. We will share your preference profile with the Property when you book with the Property. You don't need to create a profile, but if you do, you must consent to our collection and use of any Personal Information you provide to us, the terms of this Policy, and our Terms https://www.abeja.net/terms.php. You can later withdraw your consent, but by creating a profile, you affirmatively consent to our collection and use of the information you provide as described herein.

Our Use of Personal Information

We may use the Personal Information provided or obtained through the Sites to:

We generally store Personal Information in the United States as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as we determine is necessary for business records, and as required under applicable law. However, we may transfer your Personal Information from the United States to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating our business. By providing any information to Abeja Companies, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

General: We do not share the Personal Information provided or obtained through the Sites with third parties, except as described below and as otherwise specified in this Policy. We may share Personal Information as follows:

Reservations: Reservations for the Properties are handled directly with the applicable Property website or our booking partner ("Booking Company"). You can also make reservations through third party services, as described in the terms and below. If you make a reservation directly with a Property website or use the Booking Company, the Property (or, as applicable, the Booking Company) will collect and process Personal Information about you in order to process and manage your reservation and for other purposes described in the Terms and this Privacy Policy. Also, as below, by entering into a business transaction with a Property, you consent to our use of this information for direct marketing of Abeja Companies, one or more of the Properties, other of our products, or the products of select, reputable third parties offer products or services that we believe would of interest to you. We may use the services of a third-party mail house for the purpose of mailing materials.

Affiliates and Business Partners: We share much of our data, including Personal Information about you, with our affiliated entities, business partners and joint ventures when it is reasonably necessary for the purposes otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy. This includes the owners of the Properties we manage or operate.

Service Providers: We use third party service providers to provide specific business support services to us which may involve limited access to Personal Information. We require these companies to use the information only to provide the contracted services and prohibit them from transferring the information to another party except as needed to provide the contracted services. Examples of such services include sending emails, conducting and administering promotions, executing surveys, providing customer service, performing business analysis, and processing payments. We are not responsible for the actions of service providers or other third parties, nor are we responsible for any additional information you provide directly to any third parties.

Business Transactions: We may disclose your Personal Information as part of any merger, sale of company assets or acquisition, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership. The recipient of Personal Information following such actions may have privacy policies that differ from those in this Policy. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the website, and you may opt- out of the use of your existing information in a new manner.

Special Events: If you choose to participate in a special event (for example, a promotion, contest, or sweepstakes), we may share your Personal Information with those organizations participating in the applicable event.

Other purposes: We may use and share Personal Information for other purposes with your consent.

Disclosure: Upon request we will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your Personal Information. To request this information please contact us at info@abeja.net.

Other Privacy Policies: Any third parties to whom we may disclose Personal Information may have their own privacy policies that describe how they use and disclose Personal Information. Those policies will govern use, handling, and disclosure of Personal Information once we have shared it with those third parties as described in this Policy. If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties.

Children

The Sites are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from users under the age of 13 or from other web sites or services directed at children. Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will not knowingly request or collect Personal Information from any child under age 13 without obtaining the required parental consent.

Corrections and Updates

If you want to view your Personal Information, or delete or modify such information that is inaccurate, you may do so by sending an email to info@abeja.net. In making modifications you must provide only truthful, complete, and accurate information. We may limit your right to make changes to Personal Information where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy or where the legitimate interests of other persons may be violated.

Please note that notwithstanding your request to change or delete Personal Information, we may be required to keep this information and not modify or delete it, or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives. In some instances, however, Personal Information that you requested to be removed may be retained in certain files for a period of time in order to troubleshoot problems. In addition, some types of Personal Information may be stored indefinitely on back-up systems or within log files due to technical constraints or financial or legal requirements. Therefore, you should not always expect that all of your Personal Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your request.

In addition to deleting Personal Information, you may choose to opt-out of receiving future newsletters, promotions or any other email communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communications, or by contacting us via email as provided above. All promotional emails from us include an opt-out link which can be processed within 24-hours. You may also opt-out of promotions by sending us an email in response with "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" in the subject line of the email. Opting out of promotional communications does not affect our communications with you via telephone or email related to any business we may have with you or other transactional emails.

We reserve the right to verify the identity of any person making a request to opt-out or to delete or modify incorrect Personal Information, to charge you a fee before providing access and to deny such requests, except as prohibited by law; provided, however, that we will have no liability of any kind resulting from false or erroneous requests or any change or deletion we make for any reason.

Storing Your Personal Information

We will retain the Personal Information you give us or we collect for as long as you maintain your User Account or subscription to our newsletters or other content, participate in any of the social features on the Sites, enter any promotions or use any of our other Services, and for a reasonable time thereafter. We will retain and use Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Otherwise we will retain Personal Information for up to twenty- four (24) months and thereafter may store it in aggregate. If you would like us to delete the Personal Information you have provided to us, please contact us at info@abeja.net and we will respond in a reasonable time. Please note that some or all of this information may be required in order for you to make use of services and features available via the Sites. If you remove this information, you may no longer be able to use these features.

Social Media

The Sites may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets such as the "Share This" button or interactive mini-programs that run on the Sites. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Sites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing each feature.

Security

We have employed the following security measures in place to protect against loss, misuse and alteration of Personal Information under our control. When you enter Personal Information to book a reservation or set up an account, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). In addition, electronically stored Personal Information is stored on a secure network with firewall protection and access to our electronic information systems requires user authentication via password or similar means. We also employ access restrictions, limiting the scope of employees who have access to Personal Information.

Third Party Websites

The Sites may contain links to other websites. We do not control, and make no representations whatsoever regarding, such other websites or the products and services offered by or through websites accessed through links on the Sites, even those with which we may have an affiliation.

If you visit one of our Sites and decide, for example, to purchase a gift certificate, make reservation, rent a car, submit award request forms or apply for a job online, you may be seamlessly linked to websites maintained by third parties with whom we have contracted to provide those services. In some instances these websites may be co-branded and display our logos or other trademarks. You should always look at the location bar within your browser to determine whether you have been linked to a different website. This Privacy Policy, and our responsibility, is limited to our own information collection practices.

We are not responsible for, and cannot always ensure, the information collection practices or privacy policies of other websites maintained by third parties or our service providers where you submit your personal information directly to such websites. In addition, we cannot ensure the content of the websites maintained by these third parties or our service providers, even if accessible using a link from our websites. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of any external websites before providing any personal information while accessing those websites. If you decide to access third party websites linked through the Sites you do so at your own risk.

Reservations Through Third Parties

In addition to making reservations for Properties directly through us and/or our Booking Company, you may make reservations for the Properties through aggregators like Booking.com, Expedia, Orbitz, or Kayak ("Aggregators"). If you use an Aggregator to book reservations at the Properties, they may have different privacy policies and you are responsible for reviewing them before you make a reservation. If you use another online booking website to reserve lodging at a Property, you do so at your own risk and you should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of any such websites.

Commercial Electronic Message Consent

By providing your email address to us through the Sites or entering into a business transaction with one the Properties, you affirmatively and expressly consent to receiving commercial emails from Abeja Companies, the Properties, and those parties that process email communications on our behalf. Abeja Companies and these third parties may send you commercial emails in order to deliver the Newsletter, to provide you with more information about available services you have purchased, and to provide you with updates, special offers, and other information, including but not limited to Site updates and offers or promotions from Abeja Companies and/or the Properties.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time as we deem necessary or appropriate due to changes in our business practices or changes in the law. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy we will notify you of any material changes by email or by means of a notice on the Site, prior to the changes becoming effective so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

Other Terms and Conditions

Your access to and use of the Sites and our services are also subject to our Terms. In addition, each Property may have its own terms, including additional policies governing the collection and use of Personal Information. Your access and use of services available from each Property is also subject to the terms applicable to that Property as presented on the Site for that Property. You should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of these Property Sites.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, contact us at info@abeja.net. We will respond to your request to access within 30 days.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

International Visitors

The Sites are hosted in and provided from the United States and are intended for those visiting the United States. If you use the Sites from the European Union (E.U.), Canada, or other countries or regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your Personal Information to the United States for storage and processing. The United States does not have the same data protection laws as the E.U., Canada, and other countries or regions.

Terms Applicable to Data from E.U. Member Countries

The Sites are directed at consumers in the United States and the Properties we own or operate are located in the United States. In most cases, the Personal Information we collect is stored and used in the United States.

While we do not direct our Services to residents of the E.U., it is possible that E.U. residents may access and use the Sites. If we collect Personal Information from E.U. residents in a manner subject to the General Data Protection Regulation then, in addition to the above, the following terms shall also apply to our collection, use and retention of that information:

Basis for Collection: As set out above, we collect and process Personal Information for which you have given your express consent at the time of collection. For example, we collect Personal Information when you elect to participate in one of our promotions. We also collect and process Personal Information in order to improve our Services, to deliver Services and perform obligations under contracts we have with you, and to comply with our own legal obligations.

Sensitive Data: We do not collect sensitive data, (as defined in General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679) for example, biometric data, health data, or data revealing racial or ethnic origin, from visitors to the Sites.

Onward Transfer: Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we only disclose Personal Information to third parties who reasonably need to have access to it for the purpose of the transaction or activity for which it was originally collected or to provide Services or to perform tasks on our behalf or under our instruction. All such third parties must agree to use such Personal Information we provide to them only the purposes for which we have engaged them and they must either: (a) comply with the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles or another mechanism permitted by the applicable E.U. & Swiss data protection law(s) for transfers and processing of Personal Information; or (b) agree to provide adequate protections for the Personal Information that are no less protective than those set out in this Privacy Policy. Where we have knowledge that an entity to whom we have provided Personal Information is using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent, remediate or stop the use or disclosure.

Authorized Transfer: We also may disclose Personal Information for other purposes or to other third parties when you have consented to or requested such disclosure. Please be aware that we will disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We are not liable for appropriate onward transfers of Personal Information to third parties.

Data Processors: We may retain third parties to process or analyze Personal Information we collect from the Sites. For example, a Site may be maintained or hosted by a third party service provider, a promotion may be administered by a sales promotion agency, and/or products may be fulfilled by a wholesaler. These suppliers and other third parties who provide services for us are contractually obligated not to use Personal Information about you except as we authorize.

Profiling: We may analyze Personal Information we have collected about you to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information that is relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively. We may also use Personal Information about you to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.

Your Rights: Your rights include: (a) a right to withdraw your consent to the processing of Personal Information about you to which you have previously given consent; (b) a right to object to processing of Personal Information about you for the purpose of direct marketing; and (c) a right to have any incorrect part of the Personal Information about you corrected or removed. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, send an email to us at info@abeja.net.

If you request to have incorrect Personal Information removed, we may retain some of your Personal Information as necessary for the purposes of our legitimate business interests or in furtherance of public interests in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles. Any Personal Information you have shared publicly with others may continue to be publicly visible on the Sites.

You also have the right to obtain a copy of the Personal Information we have about you, although we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for this depending on the nature and frequency of your request(s) and our cost to provide the information.

Questions and Complaints: If you have questions or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of Personal Information about you, please contact us at info@abeja.net.

Enforcement and Disputes: We commit to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your Personal Information in a timely and reasonable manner.
