decide what communications you want to receive from us. However,
doing so may cause certain transactions to become affected. For
example, not providing a name will prevent the processing of
reservations.
Processing
and Disclosure

may be necessary to transfer your PII to PersiaTours
Patrons Guest rewards! affiliates,
properties within the PersiaTours Patrons Guest rewards!

in

property of an individual

As
a global company, we endeavor to provide you with the same
outstanding service in everywhere. To achieve this goal, we have
established a global network comprised of data centers, trusted
marketing partners, service providers, customer contact centers,
and trained associates around the globe. The nature of our
business and our operations require us to transfer your

to other group companies, properties, centers of operations, data
centers, or service providers that may be located in countries
outside of your own. Although the data protection and other

ACCESS TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION::
To
ensure that your personally identifiable information (PII) is
accurate and up to date, we encourage you to regularly review and
update your information as appropriate (e.g., in the event your

method for us to communicate with you). If you are a
PersiaTours Patrons Guest rewards! Preferred

an effort to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of your PII, you
may be asked to provide proof of identity (or other authentication
materials) together with the completed access request form. Access
to PII from non-SPG program members cannot be provided by
telephone.
If,
upon review, you wish to deactivate your SPG program member
profile, or update your PII, we will endeavor to do so in a timely
manner. Occasionally, information that you request to be removed
will be retained in certain files for a period of time in order to
properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot problems. In
addition, some types of information may be stored indefinitely on
"back up" systems or within log files due to technical
constraints, or financial or legal requirements. Therefore, you
should not always expect that all of your PII will be completely
removed from our databases in response to your request.
