This Privacy Policy sets forth our policy for collecting, using, storing and disclosing the personal information you provide to us. In this policy, personal information means information about you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, and personally identifiable information that is not otherwise publicly available. Personal information also includes your preferences and usage, when such information is supplied to or recorded by us in the course of transacting business with you, your use of our Web sites or technology systems.

The words “The Breakers,” “us,” “our,” and “we” do not include third party service providers who may provide your personal information to us or who may collect your personal information while you are our guest. For instance, while we protect the personal information we may collect about you from a travel agent, we are not responsible for your travel agent’s collection, use, storage or disclosure of your personal information.
