Use of Cookies and E-Mails - We use a third party service provider to send
marketing e-mails on behalf of The Trailhead. There are no cookies
in the e-mail. However, when an e-mail recipient clicks on a link to the The
Trailhead website included in the e-mail, a persistent cookie is
placed on the user's computer. This cookie is used to measure the effectiveness
of our e-mail marketing efforts and better understand how our users navigate
through the site. The cookie set by our service provider will remain on your
hard drive 30 days after the last time you clicked on the coded link in the
e-mail, or until you delete it.
-
Use of Cookies for Advertising - we use third party service providers to serve
and host our advertisements. These third parties use persistent cookies to track
the number of times our site is accessed and whether the site was accessed from
the advertisement. The cookies generated from the advertisements do not contain
personally identifiable information and may remain on your hard drive three or
more years unless deleted by you.
The third party service providers mentioned above are contractually bound not to use
any information they gather for any purpose other than providing services to us. Cookies
do not corrupt or damage your computer or computer files. In addition, we do not use
cookies to gather information concerning your visits to websites other than The Inn at
Rolling Hills. If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to
reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this),
although doing so may affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our website.
Pixel Tags:
The third party service providers mentioned above serve and host The Trailhead
advertisements on other sites. To track the effectiveness of The Trailhead
advertisements on other sites, theinnatrollinghills.com may use pixel tags (also known as
clear gifs, beacon gifs, 1-by-1 gifs, or web bugs). Pixel tags are not visible to the user
of the site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. If you are visiting
theinnatrollinghills.com from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag references
the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The pixel tag then registers
this activity with the third party advertising company to allow us to count the number of
times an advertisement is accessed. In addition, we also measure the reservations generated
from a particular ad. At no time is personally identifiable information about you or your
reservation collected by the third party advertising company, nor is any tracking information
generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used by them for any other purpose other than to
report website activity to us or allow us to better target future interactive advertising.
Our third party service providers may use pixel tags in The Trailhead marketing
e-mails that help us send the e-mail in a format you can read, to allow us to know which
e-mails you act upon and to better target the content of future e-mails. In addition, we
track the aggregate number of e-mails read and whether any of the links in the e-mail were
accessed. No other information is collected or used from pixel tags.
Information We Collect:
When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you, we will ask you to
voluntarily supply us with the information we need. For example, if you would like to make
a reservation at one of our hotels, we will ask you for information such as name, address,
telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and room preference to process your
reservation. We may use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, might
use the other information to contact you for help to process the reservation. The same types
of information would be requested to complete a gift certificate transaction. As indicated
below (see E-Mail section), we may also use your e-mail address to notify you about special
offers and promotions.
Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information:
When we ask you for credit card data when making a reservation or purchasing a gift
certificate, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are
using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari or
Google Chrome. We also use SSL on other select pages where you would enter personally
identifiable information. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels
over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted
from your computer. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock or key icon in
the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked
position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site
address will change from http to https. After information reaches The Trailhead
it is stored on secured servers that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized
access from outside the Company.
E-Mail:
It is our intention to only send you e-mail communications that will be useful to you and
that you want to receive. When you make a reservation and provide your e-mail address, we
will occasionally contact you via e-mail and provide information about special offers and
promotions that may be of interest to you. These communications will relate to The Inn at
Rolling Hills offers and/or the promotions of select, reputable third parties with whom
The Trailhead has a strategic marketing relationship because they offer products
or services that we believe would of interest to you. We use a third party e-mail service
provider to send e-mails. This service provider is prohibited from using your e-mail address
for any purpose other than to send The Trailhead related e-mail. Every time you
receive e-mail you will be provided the choice to opt-out of future e-mails by following the
instructions provided in the e-mail, or you may opt-out by updating your online profile.

We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it is, accordingly,

additional measures that vary depending on the applicable legal requirements. Information
collected on the sites covered by this privacy statement, which are listed in the first

and is not accessed again. After making a reservation or completing your stay at a The Inn
at Rolling Hills hotel, unless you tell us otherwise, the information you provide may be
