We partner with certain third-party service providers to collect information to engage in analytics, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use server logs, web beacons, tags, pixels, and similar technologies, and they
may set and access cookies on your computer or other device.
In particular, we use Yahoo Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our websites. You can read more about how Yahoo uses your Personal Information and opt out of the use of cookies in web browsers by Yahoo Analytics by clicking here. We also use FullStory. The FullStory analytics service uses heat mapping and records mouse movements, clicks,
scrolls, and keystrokes during your use of our site. This information helps us identify and address technical issues and understand usage of our Services, which we use to improve the Services for you. You can opt-out of our use of FullStory here. We also partner with 24/7 which supports our chat platform. 24/7 uses tags on websites to determine and enable predictive chat and allow the chat agent to understand what page the guest is on
so the agent can provide assistance.
We also partner with third parties to provide advertising services that are targeted based on your online activities across websites, mobile apps, and devices over time (commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising”). Our
advertising partners may collect information about your activities on our Services on your current device and combine it with information about your activities on other websites, mobile apps, and devices. They may collect such information using
server logs, cookies, web beacons, tags, pixels, mobile advertising IDs (such as Facebook cookies or Google’s Advertising ID), cross-device linking, and similar technologies. For example, our advertising partners may use the fact that you visited
our website to target advertising to you on other websites and mobile apps on your current device or on other devices you use. They may match your browsers or devices if you log into the same online service on multiple devices or if your devices
share similar attributes that support an inference that they are used by the same person or household. This means that information about your activity on websites or apps on your current browser or device may be combined and used with information
collected from your other browsers or devices. You can opt out of interest-based advertising in web browsers and mobile apps on your current browser or device by following the instructions below.
For more information about interest-based advertising and cross-device linking, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) website and the
Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) website. We adhere to the DAA’s interest-based advertising principles by providing you enhanced notice, transparency, and control of our digital marketing
practices as stated at http://www.aboutads.info/principles/. You may opt out of interest-based advertising and cross-device linking in web browsers and mobile apps on your current browser or device by following the instructions below.
Please note that the opt-outs described above will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or
mobile advertising identifiers, change browsers (including upgrading certain browsers), or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work, and you will need to opt out again. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals at
this time.

again when you are using those devices or browsers.

more than once per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to addresses other than the addresses specified in this paragraph.
The CCPA prohibits a business from treating a consumer differently because the consumer exercised a right conferred on him/her by the CCPA. We welcome you to exercise your rights under the CCPA, and we will not discriminate against you for
doing so.

Hilton employs a robust team of dedicated information security professionals who are responsible for managing Hilton’s security program. This team is responsible for, among many other things, monitoring our systems for potential intrusions,
responding to potential incidents, supporting property-level information security, regularly reviewing and updating the security controls Hilton uses to protect data, and providing training on Hilton’s information security program.
Hilton maintains a payment card industry (“PCI”) compliance program and an Information Technology compliance program. This compliance program generates audit reports concerning the adequacy and effectiveness of Hilton’s Technology
internal controls, including a PCI Attestation of Compliance signed by an external PCI Qualified Security Assessor and a SSAE16/SOC1 report addressing the Technology general controls over systems that support certain accounting and financial
reporting.
We require third parties with whom we share personal information to exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of personal information.
We will never ask you to send us confidential personal information or payment card information via email or text message.
In the event of a security incident, Hilton will notify regulators and/or consumers as required by applicable laws and regulations.
Hilton will disclose personal information as required by law. Examples of such disclosures include when countries require Hilton to collect personal data about visitors to properties in that country, when a law enforcement agency serves a valid subpoena on Hilton, and when a civil litigant serves a lawful discovery request on Hilton. Hilton may elect to share personal information with law enforcement or others as necessary to protect the safety and security of people and property, to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain, and to respond to an emergency.

As a global company, we endeavor to provide you with the same level of service that you have come to expect at Hilton whether you are in San Francisco, London or Tokyo. To provide this service, you acknowledge that we may share your personal information among members of the Hilton Portfolio of Brands, our service providers, and other third parties, which may be located in countries outside of your own. When you stay at a Hilton property outside the United States, the data controller for that property transfers the personal information relating to your reservation to Hilton in the United States pursuant to data transfer agreements when required by applicable laws or regulations.

We retain personal information about you necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected or as required or permitted by law. When we destroy your personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information
from being restored or reconstructed.

You may also update your personal information as provided in Section 12
(Changing and Accessing Your Personal Information) of the main body of this Global Privacy Statement.
We will respond to all such requests within 30 days of our receipt of the request, unless there are extenuating circumstances, in which event we may take up to 60 days to respond. We will inform you if we expect our response to take longer than
30 days. Please note, however, that certain personal information may be exempt from such rights pursuant to applicable data protection laws. In addition, we will not respond to any request unless we are able to appropriately verify the

If you have concerns about our data practices or the exercise of your rights, you may either contact Hilton at DataProtectionOffice@Hilton.com or the supervisory authority in the Member State

Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to any processing that we conduct solely based on your consent (such as sending direct marketing materials to your personal email account). You may withdraw your
consent to marketing activities by following the instructions on any marketing emails, or contacting customer_privacy@hilton.com. For any other activities for which you have previously consented,
you may contact DataProtectionOffice@hilton.com to withdraw such consent.
Segmentation (also referred to as profiling) and Automated Decision Making: We use personal information to divide large groups of consumers into sub-groups of consumers (known as segments) based on some type of shared
characteristics such as geography, behavior, or demographics.
With your consent, we make automated decisions, meaning without human interference, using segmentation and/or your specific personal information to offer you certain benefits based on your characteristics (such as discounted room rates or other
special offers based on your geography, behavior, or demographics). For example, if you travel frequently during the week to hotels in France, we may send you special offers for Hilton hotels in France.
International Data Transfers: We may transfer the personal information we collect about you pursuant to the purposes described in this Statement to countries that have not been found by the European Commission to provide adequate
protection. In particular, we transfer your personal information to the United States.
We use appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal information among our affiliates in various jurisdictions, and where required, we have implemented European Union controller-to-controller standard contractual clauses or other such
safeguards for such purposes. To obtain a copy of theses clauses or additional information on transfers, you may send your request to privacy@hilton.com.
