Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Effective Date: August 30, 2021

Arlington Artist Alliance ( “we”, “our” or “us”) provides this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to describe the types of information we collect from you when you visit and use our website and any other web pages operated by us that link to this Privacy Policy (the “Website”), and our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing that information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected from or about you on the Website, through email and other electronic messages between you and the Website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that may be collected by us offline or through any other means, including on any other websites operated by us or any third parties (including our affiliates). This Privacy Policy also does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from the Website. Certain transactions and services offered while visiting the Website may be processed or provided by service providers and other strategic partners, even though it appears that you may not have left the Website (e.g., reservations, payment processing, hosting).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO OUR COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES, DO NOT USE OUR WEBSITE. Your continued use of the Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

The Website is operated from the United States in accordance with laws of the United States and visitors to the Website should be aware that the laws of the United States may differ from those of your country of residence. If you are located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United States, your use of the Website is at your own risk and initiative and you, not us, are responsible for compliance with any applicable local and national laws. By using the Website, participating in any Website activities, and/or providing us with your personal information, you: (i) consent to the transfers and processing of any information you provide to the Website; (ii) acknowledge that U.S. law provides a lower standard of protection for personal data than the laws of various countries including, but not limited to, the European Union; and (iii) understand that the Website will use, process and share your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and U.S. law. Consequently, you hereby waive any claims that may arise under the laws and regulations that apply to you in any other country or jurisdiction.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

We collect various types of information from and about you on the Website, including:

“Personally Identifiable Information” or “personal information,” which is information by which you may be personally identified or contacted, such as your first and last name, email address, postal address, billing address, telephone numbers (including mobile telephone numbers), credit/debit card number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted offline or online. Personal information also may include information that is not personally identifiable standing alone (for example, your travel dates) but is when stored with personally identifiable information (for example, your travel dates together with your first and last name). Many pages on our Website can be visited without providing any personal information. On other Website pages, you may be prompted or invited to provide certain personally identifiable information, such as to join our mailing list or to receive brochures or other promotional materials about our branded developments or other offers that may be of interest to you. Certain features of some websites, such as reservations, may require credit card and billing information as well.
“Non-personal information,” which is data that is about you but which does not identify you as an individual and is not linked to your personal information. This may include information such as (i) your travel dates, birth date, nationality, gender, preferred airline, communication preferences, traveler and guest preferences, goods and services purchased, special requests made, and other preferences that require specific accommodation, and (ii) information about your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details about your activities while using our Website. Non-personal information also may include personal information that has been aggregated or de-identified such that it is rendered anonymous. For example, survey information that you volunteer may be de-personalized and/or aggregated such that it no longer personally identifies you, and would then be considered non-personal information. Non-personal information often is collected through the use of cookies and anonymous identifiers, pixel tags, beacons, scripts, and other similar technologies (“Other Technologies”). Non-personal information (including anonymized information and non-personal information that is automatically collected as you navigate through and use the Website) is not subject to this Privacy Policy, and we can use and share such information with third parties without restriction for any lawful purpose.
We collect information from and about you on or through the Website directly from you when you provide it to us (for example, via forms that you fill out on the Website, in emails and other communications and information that you submit via the Website, and when you make a reservation), and automatically as you access and navigate through the Website through the use of cookies and Other Technologies.

This includes, for example, information you provide when you make a reservation, purchase a gift card or make another purchase on the Website, sign up to receive emails, offers or other information, email us or our properties through the Website, submit a question or report a problem with our Website, or submit a Request for Proposal.

“Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit a website if your web browser or device settings permit. Some cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies are not deleted when you close your browser but are saved on your computer or device for a fixed period of time or until you delete them (persistent cookies). Each time you visit the Website the server that sets the cookie will recognize the persistent cookie stored on your computer or device. Various types of cookies may be used on our Website, including cookies that are necessary for the Website to work and enable you to navigate through and take advantage of our Website and their features.

HTTP request header information in order to make our Website function correctly and to personalize content presented to you, better understand how visitors use our Website, and how we can better meet your needs.

Cookies that determine your browser’s ability to receive HTML email messages to determine the appropriate format for you to receive and read an email.

You may also delete cookies manually from your hard drive through your internet browser or other programs. For more information on how to manage browser cookies, see www.allaboutcookies.org.

ONLINE TRACKING “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS
Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” setting that sends a special signal to the websites you encounter while web browsing that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, and we do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe how we respond to such signals. As discussed below, we work with third-party vendors that use tracking technologies on our Website in order to provide tailored advertisements on our behalf and on behalf of other advertisers across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your activity on our Website and other websites over time, and use this information to determine which ads you see on third-party websites and mobile applications.

ANALYTICS
We engage service providers to provide us analytics data relating to the use of the Website. These service providers may use cookies and Other Technologies alone or in conjunction with anonymous identifiers to collect information about you when you use the Website or interact on other websites. For example, we use Google Analytics to measure and report how users interact with our Website for the purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage, measuring conversion tracking, measuring, and for other business and market research purposes. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Website is restricted by Google’s Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Website by disabling cookies on your browser, as described above. If you do not want your Website visit data reported by the Google Analytics JavaScript, you also can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to prohibit sending visit information to Google Analytics but does not prevent information from being sent to the Website itself or in other ways to other website analytics services. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information.
