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.

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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

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.
