Swan and Dolphin Privacy Policy

Swan Hotel Associates d/b/a The Walt Disney World Swan Hotel (“Swan”) and Dolphin Hotel Associates d/b/a The Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel (“Dolphin”), are separate hotels and separate general partnerships (the hotels and their service outlets are collectively the “Hotels”); however, they together provide the website www.swandolphin.com (“Site”). The Hotels are not owned by The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”). Likewise, the Hotels are not owned by “Marriott” (e.g. the Marriott Group, Marriott International, Inc. or Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC, Bonvoy, etc.) but the Hotels are Marriott branded.

In reviewing this privacy policy, we refer to the Hotels as “we” or “us” and you, the website user or Hotel guest, as “you,” “your,” or “user”.

In addition to this policy, use of the Site is also governed by the Terms & Conditions of Use which is found here.

When you interact with us or this Site, we collect the following information:

  • The information you voluntarily input or otherwise provide to us.

  • Other information about your physical use of the Hotels, sales information, purchase information, stay preferences, parking, room key use information and similar information about your use of the Hotels and its amenities as well as related sales information for purchases you make.
  • We may also receive information from Marriott/Bonvoy and third-party booking sites about your bookings, requests, preferences and the like. Similar information may be obtained from The Walt Disney Company regarding your use of the parks.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

  • We use the information we collect about you in the following ways:
  • To provide services to you, to administer transactions with you, to provide to you further information regarding your transactions, and to monitor your physical interactions with the hotel in an effort to keep you and others safe.
  • To improve the services that we provide to you.
  • We use your email to communicate with you for administrative purposes.
  • We use your email, when you expressly consent, for promotional purposes.
  • When you expressly consent, to target marketing materials and information to you.
  • We use cookie information on only one of our sites, and honor your cookie preferences via your web browser settings and a web plug-in.
  • To monitor Site use metrics.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We disclose your information as follows:

  • We may provide some or all of the information that you provide to us to Marriott for its business administration purposes, e.g. affinity programs, stay information, and the like. We may do likewise with other third party booking sites, and with Disney regarding your use of the parks.
  • When you expressly consent, we may also provide some or all of the information that you provide to us, to Marriott for its marketing purposes. We may do likewise with other third party booking sites, and with Disney regarding your use of the parks.
  • When you expressly give us permission to provide that information to third parties for administrative, marketing or promotional purposes.
  • Thus, for instance, certain restaurants at the hotels are not under our ownership or control (e.g. Il Mulino or The Blue Zoo) and we may provide information to them if you ask us to make a reservation for you. Likewise, we may provide your information via our concierge to restaurants or area attractions if, for example, you ask us to make a reservation for you or ask us to solicit a vendor in your behalf.
    • When you voluntarily publish that information through the Site, e.g. your posts/content.
    • We may also send automatically collected aggregate information and other aggregate information to third parties to analyze usage, demographics and functionality of the Site, usually for the ultimate purpose of marketing.
    • The Hotels may also provide personal and non-personal information to its affiliates that are under common ownership and/or control for administrative purposes.
    • We also provide information to companies that provide products and services to us in order to operate, improve and innovate with respect to the Site, for instance, hosting services. Likewise for companies that provide service to us regarding the operation of the hotel; however, these transmissions of information are not for marketing purposes. Rather, such third parties receive such information pursuant to written contracts that specify how the information may be used (which does not include marketing).
    • The Hotels disclose information in order to comply with legal requirements including those of law enforcement.
    • The Hotels also reserve the right, but do undertake the obligation, to disclose information when necessary to protect the Hotels’ interests and/or those of third parties.

OPTIONS REGARDING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

You may contact the Hotels using the contact information provided below in order to:

  • Request to know any or all of the following for the 12 months preceding our receipt of the request:
    • What specific information we have about you.

  • Request, similarly, that the Hotels stop using the information they have about you in a particular way, i.e. to stop and/or not process the data. Again, the Hotels will not always be able to accommodate this request due to technical and/or legal requirements/rights.
  • Request that the Hotels correct the information that they have about you.
  • Request that the Hotels add to the information that they have about you.

Identification: Should you choose to exercise your rights under this section, we may require you reasonably to prove your identity to us. Such may include by way of an email to and from a known email account, proof via identification card, answering questions that only you may know, or similar means.

Further, the Hotels were established, owned and run under the laws of the United States of America and our primary business functions are located in Orlando, Florida. You agree and stipulate that any transaction you have with respect to the Site and any information that you transmit, is “present in” and “occurs in” Orlando, and no other location, as if you were physically located in Orlando, State of Florida, even if you are actually somewhere else or not even in the United States. As such, the Hotels expect and intend any interaction with this website and the actual Hotels to be governed exclusively by American law and, in particular, exclusively the law of Florida without application of Florida’s choice of law rules, law or doctrines and you agree and stipulate to such.
  • Likewise, you agree to discontinue any suit that is not filed in Orlando, Florida, in the United States, if such suit arises from or relates to the Site or the Hotels, i.e. any suit will be exclusively decided in a court located in Orlando, Florida, and nowhere else.
  • You waive any arguments of forum non conveniens (i.e. the Florida is not a convenient forum/place to litigate) and stipulate to venue, i.e. the location of litigation, being in Orlando, Florida.
  • You are likewise advised that American law, and that of Florida in particular, does not afford the same level of protection and/or rights regarding your data/information as may exist in other states or countries.
  • You stipulate and agree that each part of this section applies to any and all claims against any parent, owner or affiliate of the Hotels arising from or related to the site or the Hotels, and likewise that this this Privacy Policy applies to such claims.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL

Further, in any action arising from or related to the Site or the Hotels, you waive any right to assert any claims against us in any class or representative action, except where such waiver is prohibited by Florida or applicable federal law. To the extent you are permitted by law or a court of law to proceed with a class or representative action against us (either or both entities), you agree that: (i) you shall not be entitled to recover or be awarded an amount for serving as a class representative or your legal fees and costs; and (ii) you will not submit a claim or otherwise participate in any recovery secured through the class or representative action.

Finally, in any action arising related to the Site or the Hotels, you agree to WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND INSTEAD CONSENT TO A BENCH TRIAL TO RESOLVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES.

MERGER, SALE AND/OR BANKRUPTCY

The Hotels reserve the right to sell/transfer your data/information without notice to you, or consent by you, in the event of the Hotels’ merger, sale and/or bankruptcy.

Should we decide that we are going to begin taking an action regarding your information that requires your consent under applicable law, we will first seek your express consent before so doing.
