Ottawahotels.com developed and supported by Spyre Infostructure Inc. We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for our website www.ottawahotels.com and all affiliated websites and contests.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Contests run by Ottawahotels.com are "Powered by the BOOKDirect.info Contest Engine" in partnership with Contestix. Contestix is an independent company that operates as a trusted third party and provides access to the secure server(s) that we locate the website that hosts Contests run by Ottawahotels.com. Contestix receives the information collected by the contest pages and has shared access to this information that is strictly restricted to the type of usage designated by Spyre Infostructure for Ottawahotels.com.
We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address) and demographic information (like their address, postal code, etc.). We use contact data from our contests to understand consumer preferences and to send users information about our company and its products. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. This information is shared with the participants in Ottawahotels.com on an aggregate basis, never on an individual basis. That is we might share with our partners that 74% of our visitors would like to receive information about local activities and attractions on their e-mail confirmations for hotel reservations. We do not provide them with a list of every user that indicated such a preference. In order to better understand your preferences we ask questions related to how we can continue to improve the site. This information is used to help us provide you with better service, products and offers of interest to you from Ottawahotels.com and our partners. Spyre Infostructure Inc. will not disclose your personal information to participating sponsors, and any offers made as a result of the information that we collect will come as an official offer sanctioned by Ottawahotels.com and/or its owners.
