In addition, when you make a reservation at any of the hotels or resorts owned and/or managed by SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts or purchase a travel-related product or service, you may be asked to provide us with other information such as the name of your company, your home address and fax number, and any special requests you may have to make your stay more enjoyable. You are not required to provide us with this information. To the extent that you do provide us with this or other non-required information, its use and disclosure will be governed by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We also may automatically collect general anonymous information related to your use of our website, such as the date and time you visit the website and the pages you visit on the website. In addition, we collect “cookie” information from your browser to identify your computer and provide us with a record of your visits to our website. The technology used to gather “cookie” information is provided by the Internet browser you use, and may be turned off by using your browser preference buttons. This statistical information helps us to understand how our website is used (e.g., identifying which pages or sections are most popular and the peak activity times), which assists us in planning for future improvements to the website to better meet our visitor’s needs.

We use your personal information for one or more of the following purposes:

The information collected by these service providers will be used solely to process your reservation and will not be used or disclosed otherwise than as provided in this Privacy Policy or with your prior express consent.
In addition, we may enter into agreements with marketing partners in the hotel and travel industry for the sole purpose of offering products and services that may be of interest to you. We will, however, not provide you with any product and service information unless you have expressly requested (i.e. opted-in) to receive such marketing material.
We may also contact you from time to time to conduct surveys or to obtain your feedback on our existing or proposed product and service offerings. Your survey responses and feedback are used solely for internal management purposes.
