Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features of our Site, such as making a reservation. Cookies can enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the user’s experience on our website. Through use of cookies, we may track and collect your IP address and other personal and non-personal information such as the type of computer and type of web browser you use to tailor the content to your interests and store your password to avoid you having to re-enter it every time you access our sites. Cookies may be used to track parts of a web site that have been visited or keep track of previous selections or purchases which can improve your experience on our sites. Acceptance of cookies may result in you being sent messages, offers and ads on the site we believe you may be interested in. Any user who rejects the cookie may still use our website but use may be limited in some areas of our website. Use of cookies is standard in most industries and used by most major commercial web sites. Our business partners use cookies on our website. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Online Advertising
We, and third-party sites like Facebook, use a technology commonly referred to as Cookies, Web Beacons or Action Tags, which we place on various pages of our website that allows the third party to collect non-personal information about users. This information is used to target advertisements and track our advertising’s effectiveness and improve our advertising. If you would like more information about this practice, or if you prefer not to have this information used, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices and http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our website requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user, therefore, has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include personal information (such as contact information, name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).

Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to confirm membership. Established members will receive information on services and special deals. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personal information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by using the “Contact Us” link, emailing us at info@SanCapBeachResorts.com or by contacting us directly at:SANIBEL CAPTIVA BEACH RESORTS LLC, 15951 Captiva Drive, Captiva, FL 33924, 800.223.5865.

Choice/Opt-out
Your opportunity to ‘opt-out’ described above may in some instances be made selectively. For example, our reservation process has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who book a room from us, but do not want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. All our emails promoting special deals to our members contain a link to Opt-out of receiving future emails. You may also use the “Contact Us” page to Opt-Out of receiving emails in the future.

Site Security
We want you to feel confident about using the Site for your travel, so we have implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access. By making your travel purchase on our secure server, you are protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, to ensure a safe transmission. This technology allows us to use the most advanced encryption tools necessary to protect information transmitted between your computer and our server. Through encryption, the personal information you enter, including your name, address, and credit-card information, is converted into code that is then securely dispatched over the Internet. Once your secure server receives your encrypted personal information, it is translated back into its original form and stored in our off-line database. Your credit card information is not transmitted over the Internet again.

Site and Service Updates
We also send the user website and service announcement updates. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

Notification of Changes
If we make changes to this Privacy Statement in the future, the revised Privacy Statement will be accessible and displayed through a link on this website to keep you advised of any revisions to the types of information we collect and the types of third parties with whom we may share the information. This privacy statement was updated on June 15, 2016.
