Minors
Hilton does not knowingly collect, disclose, or sell personal information of individuals under the age of majority in their respective jurisdiction without permission from a minor’s parent or guardian. When searching for hotel reservations on a Hilton website or on the Hilton Honors app, you may be asked to provide the ages of any minor guests staying in the room. Hilton collects this information for the purpose of determining room rates where applicable, such as at an “all-inclusive” property.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
We use closed circuit television and other security measures at our properties that may capture or record images of guests and visitors in public areas, as well as information related to your location while on our properties (via keycards and other technologies) for the protection of our staff, guests and visitors to our properties, in accordance with applicable laws that require us to collect information that is used to protect guests, employees, and visitors of the property. We retain CCTV in accordance with our data retention policies, as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected, or as required or permitted by law. You may be able to request access to CCTV images within the time specified by applicable law and as required by law.
Franchised hotels are operated by entities that are separate from Hilton. To request access to CCTV images from a franchised hotel, please contact that hotel. In addition to Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc., those entities also are independent data controllers of CCTV images. When permitted by law, we may charge an appropriate fee to cover the costs of responding to the request. Such requests may be submitted by accessing the Data Subject Rights Requests Portal at datarights.hilton.com or in writing to DataProtectionOffice@hilton.com or Hilton Data Protection Officer, 7930 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, VA 22102, USA.

Cookies and Other Technologies
Like many other websites, our site may use "Cookies" or "Other Technologies" (such as "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," links in emails, JavaScript, device IDs assigned by Google or Apple, or similar technologies). Cookies and Other Technologies allow us and third parties to obtain information about your visits to the site, including to analyze your visiting patterns. We use this information to process your reservations or requests and to deliver online and mobile advertisements, messages and content for us and others that are specific to your interests. Depending on your jurisdiction, prior consent for the use of non-essential Cookies may be required. If it is the case, we will obtain your consent before using Cookies on your device.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device ("device") when you visit a website. Cookies alone cannot be used to disclose your individual identity to us, though in some cases we may tie Hilton or third-party Cookies to personal information you have provided to us or that we have otherwise obtained about you. Cookies may be used on the site in order to improve your experience. For example, we will use Cookies to:
- Remember your user name and password for future visits so that log-in is easier and faster;
- Remember your language and other preferences;
- Ensure you obtain all requested information;
- Provide a safe and secure service for online transactions;
- Track your response to advertisements and website or app content for analysis and the number of times we send you the same advertisement; Measure how many people use the site, and how they use it, so that we may keep it running quickly and efficiently; and
- Help us and others deliver communications and content to you that are relevant and responsive to your interests and location.
Below we explain the different types of Cookies that may be used on the site.
- Essential Cookies – Essential Cookies are necessary for the site to work, and enable you to move around it and use its services and features. Disabling these Cookies may make the services and features unavailable.
- Functional Cookies – We use Functional Cookies to save your settings on the site—settings such as your language preference, or booking information you have previously used when booking a hotel with us. We also use Functional Cookies to store such things as the last hotel you searched for, so that you can easily find it the next time you visit. Some Functional Cookies are essential to viewing maps or videos on our site.
- Session Cookies – These types of Cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session, and are deleted from your device when you close the browser. We use Session Cookies to support the functionality of the site and to understand your use of the site—that is, which pages you visit, which links you use and how long you stay on each page.
- Persistent Cookies – These types of Cookies are not deleted when you close your browser, but are saved on your device for a fixed period of time or until you delete them. Each time you visit the site, the server that set the Cookie will recognize the persistent Cookie saved on your device. We and others use persistent Cookies to store your preferences, so that they are available for your next visit, to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit the site, how often you return, how your use of the site may vary over time and the effectiveness of advertising efforts.
- Advertising Cookies – Allow us and other advertisers to show you the most relevant products, offers, and advertisements on the site and third-party sites, or through emails or other message platforms. For example, some Advertising Cookies help our service providers and other advertisers select advertisements that are based on your interests, including those expressed or inferred by visits to our websites or apps or across other websites, online services, and apps over time. Others help prevent the same advertisement from continuously reappearing for you. These types of Cookies also help us provide you with content on the site that is tailored to your interests and needs. As noted below, some Analytics Cookies and Other Technologies are used in part to facilitate advertising.
- Social plugin Cookies – Advertising Cookies also include Social Plug-In Cookies. Social Plug-In Cookies are used to share content from the site with members and non-members of social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. These Cookies are usually set by the social networking provider, enabling such sharing to be smooth and seamless.
- Analytics Cookies – Collect information about your use of the site, and enable us to improve the way it works. These Cookies give us aggregated information that we use to monitor site performance, count page visits, spot technical errors, see how users reach the site, and measure the effectiveness of advertising (including emails we send to you).
- Other technologies may be used for the same purposes as our Cookies, to allow us and third parties to know when you visit the site, and to understand how you interact with emails or advertisements. Through Other Technologies, non-personal information (e.g., your operating system, your browser version, and the URL you came from) or aggregate information may be obtained and used to enhance your experience and understand traffic patterns.
MANAGING COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
If you want to remove or block Cookies from your device at any time, you can update your browser settings (consult your browser's "help" menu to learn how to remove or block Cookies). Hilton is not responsible for your browser settings. You can find good and simple instructions on how to manage Cookies on the different types of web browsers at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Please be aware that rejecting Cookies may affect your ability to perform certain transactions on the Site, and our ability to recognize your browser from one visit to the next.

Analytics and Interest-Based Advertisements
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 Adobe Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our websites. We also use Adobe Audience Manager to create audiences for personalizing content and advertising experiences. Read more about how Adobe uses your Personal Information in web browsers by Adobe Analytics.
We also partner with Amazon Chat which supports our chat platform. We may use Amazon Chat for sharing dynamic content for authenticated users.
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.
- Web Browser Opt-Out. To opt out in web browsers, please visit http://optout.aboutads.info/ and http://optout.networkadvertising.org. To help preserve the choices that you make in the DAA's WebChoices page, you can install the DAA's “Protect My Choices” extension that is available at http://www.aboutads.info/PMC.
- Mobile Application Opt-Out. To opt out in mobile apps, you can adjust the advertising preferences on your mobile device (for example, in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads). You can also opt out for companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices tool by downloading the app and following the instructions. For more information about opting out on mobile devices, please see here.
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.

Back to TopHow We Protect Personal Information
We take reasonable measures to: (i) protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and (ii) keep personal information accurate and up-to-date as appropriate.
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.
Back to TopDisclosure Pursuant to Legal Obligations or to Protect the Safety and Security of People and Property
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, employers, those who host events with Hilton, 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.
Back to TopMarketing Communications Choices
We want to make you aware of the fantastic products we offer! To do so, we may send you communications via email, text message, push notifications, in-app alerts, direct mail, and social media. To enable us to send you such communications, your information may be disclosed to third party service providers who send out marketing communications on our behalf. If, depending on the circumstances, consent is required in your jurisdiction, we will obtain your consent before sending you such communications.
If you are a Hilton Honors member, you may change the communications you receive from us by logging on to your online account and managing your subscriptions; by writing to us (and including your email address) at Hilton Data Protection Officer, 7930 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, VA 22102, USA; or by emailing us at DataProtectionOffice@hilton.com.

Opt-out requests can take up to ten business days to be effective.
To opt out of text messages, tell the hotel front desk that you do not want to receive text messages from the hotel or reply “STOP” to the message you received.
You may control whether our mobile apps send you push notifications by changing your notification settings on your mobile device. If we engage in sending you in-app messages, we will allow control for those in our apps' settings.
Back to TopInternational Transfers of Personal Information
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. The data controller may also maintain a local copy of your personal information when so required by applicable laws or regulations. Although the data protection laws of various countries may differ from those in your own country, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information is handled as described in this Statement and in accordance with the law.
Back to TopData Retention Periods
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.
Back to TopChanges to this Statement
We may modify this Statement from time to time. When we make material changes to this Statement we will post a link to the revised Statement on the homepage of our site. You can tell when this Statement was last updated by looking at the date at the top of the Statement.

Back to TopAdditonal Provisions Applicable to California Consumers
The Right to Know, The Right to Delete, and the Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) affords California consumers (1) the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and/or sell; (2) the right to request that we delete their personal information; and (3) the right to request that we no longer sell or share their personal information.
If you would like information about the personal information that we collect, disclose, sell and/or share about you, or if you would like to make a request for us to delete or to stop selling your personal information, please visit our website at datarights.hilton.com to submit your request. You also may call our toll-free telephone number: (800) 413-7470, email the Data Protection Office (“DPO”) at DataProtectionOffice@hilton.com, send a letter to the Data Protection Office at 7930 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, Virginia, USA 22102, or complete a paper form available from the front desk at any of our hotels. In addition to these methods, California consumers may request that we no longer sell their personal information by completing a personal data request form.
When the DPO receives your request, the DPO will first verify your identity. If you are a Hilton Honors member, the DPO will verify your identity by asking you to provide your name, Hilton Honors account number, and the email address and phone number associated with your Hilton Honors account. If you are not a Hilton Honors member, the DPO will verify your identity by asking you to provide your name, the email address and/or phone number associated with a past stay, and potentially a confirmation number from one of your stays at a Hilton property. Once the DPO has verified your identity, the DPO will promptly fulfill your request
If you would like, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To designate an authorized agent, please submit an order issued by a court, a document submitted by a barred attorney, or a formal certified document issued by an official governmental agency.
If you would like to opt out of the sale of your personal information, you may do so by clicking on the banner that appears on any Hilton website when you access that site from an IP address that relates to California or by visiting our website at datarights.hilton.com or click the “Do Not Share or Sell My Information” link at the bottom of any Hilton website to submit your request. Please note that when you opt out of Cookies, tags, and pixels, that opt out only pertains to the device and the browser that you are using when you opt out. If you wish to opt out for other devices or browsers, you must opt out again when you are using those devices or browsers.
Sensitive Personal Information
We limit the use of your personal information to that use which is necessary to perform reasonably expected services or as required by law.
Direct Marketing Disclosure
California consumers also may request information about our disclosures of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such requests must be submitted to us at one of the following addresses: CA_Privacy@hilton.com or DataProtectionOffice@hilton.com, send a letter to the Data Protection Office at 7930 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, Virginia, USA 22102. Within thirty days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no 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 Right to Non-Discrimination
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.
Financial Incentive Notice
Hilton does not offer a financial incentive for the collection, sale, or deletion of personal information. As detailed in this Statement, Hilton primarily collects personal data from guests in order to fulfill guest reservations and from Honors members in order to operate the Hilton Honors loyalty program. Hilton also collects personal data for marketing and other purposes as permitted by applicable law.
As set forth in the Hilton Honors Terms and Conditions, Hilton Honors members have the ability to accumulate points and access discounted rates. The ability to accumulate points and to access discounted rates is not directly related to the value provided to the business of members' data.
Removal of Content
If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a registered user of any site where this policy is posted, California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted.

Hilton is required to transfer your personal data to its affiliates outside of the Principality of Monaco which includes Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc., Hilton Reservations Worldwide LLC, and Hilton Honors Worldwide LLC, all resident in the United States, as well as their in-country suppliers, in order to complete reservations, process Hilton Honors memberships and conduct promotion activities through its website, whose servers are located abroad.
When a subcontractor or partner is located in a country that has not been recognized as having an adequate level of protection as the one offered by the Data Protection Law (which is the case for the United States), Hilton must fulfil a transfer authorization form in order to comply with the Data Protection Law’s own requirements on the security and privacy of personal data and the subcontractors should ensure a satisfactory protection of your personal data.
