At Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, we strive to deliver outstanding products, services and experiences at our beautiful beachfront property located near Destin on Florida’s Emerald Coast. We value your business and, more importantly, your loyalty. In recognizing that personal privacy is an important issue to everyone, we have developed this Privacy Statement ("Statement") to explain the practices of Sandestin Beach Hotel, Ltd., d/b/a Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa ("Hilton Sandestin," "we," or "us") regarding the personal information we collect from you or about you whether on this site, through written or verbal communications with us, information collected when you visit our property or from other sources.
Also, please note that this Statement does not apply to our processing of personal information on behalf of and subject to the instructions of third parties such as airlines, car rental companies and other service providers, companies that organize or offer packaged travel arrangements, marketing partners, corporate customers or any other person or entity that are beyond the direct and complete control of Hilton Sandestin.
At every touch point or guest interaction, and in conducting every aspect of our business, we may collect personal information. This personal information may include: your contact information; information related to your reservation, stay or visit to our property; participation in a membership or loyalty program; participation in a sweepstakes or marketing program (even if you do not stay at our hotel); information related to the purchase and receipt of products or services; personal characteristics, nationality, income, passport number and date and place of issue; travel history; payment information; guest preferences; marketing and communication preferences; information about vehicles you may bring onto our property; reviews and opinions about our property; frequent flyer or travel partner program affiliation and member number; hotel, airline and rental car packages booked; groups with which you are associated for stays at our property; information provided on membership and account applications; and other types of information that you choose to provide to us or that we may obtain from third parties. We may also record details on joint travelers, including their names and frequent flyer numbers, and the age of the driver of the rental car. We may also collect and keep information and records related to conversations, including recording or monitoring customer service calls.
In addition we collect other personal information in certain cases, such as:
In addition to the information we collect from you directly, we may also infer information about you based on the information you provide to us or from Other Information we receive. (See below for more details about “Other Information.”) We may also collect information about you from third parties, including information from our airline, credit card, and other partners, information from social media sites consistent with your settings on such sites, such as social media sign-on programs, and from third-party sources. We may append this information to the information we have on file for you and share it with others consistent with this Statement.
We use your personal information to provide the services you request from Hilton Sandestin, or which are part of a program you have joined or a purchase you have made. We also use your personal information to provide you with information about meeting and event planning and access to specific account information for administrative purposes. In addition, we may use your information to: improve Hilton Sandestin's services; provide you with the expected level of hospitality; ensure our site, products and services are of interest to you; process enrollments and applications; and facilitate collections. We also use the information to provide or offer you newsletters, promotions and featured specials, other marketing communications, product or service awareness marketing, and to conduct surveys, sweepstakes, prize draws, and other contests. We may provide these communications online, via email, telephone, mobile/text messaging (including SMS and MMS) and postal mail. We may also aggregate your personal information with data from third-party sources for purposes of data hygiene and analytics.
eFolio Program: In order to provide the most efficient service, we encourage you to receive your hotel bill via email ("eFolio"). However, you can choose to receive a paper receipt by making such request upon check in or at any time during your stay prior to your departure date. The email address you provided upon making your reservation, or if you are a Honors member and did not change your email address upon making your reservation, your email address of record, will be used to send you your eFolio. If you would like your eFolio to be sent to a different email address, you can make that request upon check-in or at any time during your stay prior to your departure date. Further, we do not have any mechanism for verifying your email address, so it is your responsibility to ensure that we have the correct (and preferred) email address for you. If you make a reservation for another person and use your email address, your email address will be used to provide their receipt.
We endeavor to provide you with the same level of service that you have come to expect at all Hilton properties, world-wide. To provide this service, we may share your personal information among members of the Hilton Worldwide Portfolio of Brands, including Hilton Grand Vacations (“Hilton Worldwide”), or service providers that may be located in other areas. Although the data protection laws of these various locations may not be as comprehensive as in the area from where you are traveling, Hilton Sandestin will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information is handled as described in this Statement.
