(hereinafter referred to as "MMI") has a strong commitment to providing excellent service to all of our customers and investors, including respecting their privacy and confidentiality. MMI is committed to safeguarding your privacy and security while visiting the MMI website, namely, www.midwestmanagementinc.com, (hereinafter referred to as the "Site").
Our goal is to provide you with an Internet experience that delivers the information, resources and services that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, part of the operation of the Site may include the gathering of certain types of information about Site users. Because we understand that your privacy is important, we wish to explain the types of information we gather and the way in which we use it.
MMI prohibits the sale or transfer of identifiable user information to any third party without consent.
This Privacy Policy Applies to the Site
We have prepared this statement to inform you of the privacy principles that govern www.midwestmanagementinc.com. We may update this policy from time to time, so please check here frequently.
Privacy policies for our hotel properties may vary somewhat from this one, since they offer different features and functionality. Please refer to the individual site's posted policy if you have concerns for your privacy while using it.
Privacy Policy Effective Date
The privacy policy is in effect at the time of each visit to our site. Please check our privacy policy each time you visit our website if you are concerned about how your information will be used.
Information We Collect & How It Is Used
This Privacy Policy covers two types of information gathered at the Site, personal and aggregated. The term "personal information" refers to data you voluntarily provide in connection with use of the Site that identifies you and/or the company on whose behalf you are accessing and using the Site.
Personal information includes data submitted in connection with our services, such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, company affiliation, physical address and/or certain other personal information.
When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. For example, if you would like to contact us through our online form, we will ask you for information such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. We may use your e-mail address to send a confirmation. We may also use your e-mail address to notify you with information or news about our company that we believe you might find of interest.
The term "aggregated data" refers to general information regarding visitors and users of the Site that relates to use of the Site, e.g., traffic patterns, number of visits to certain pages, visits from other web sites or to third-party web sites linked to the Site, use of particular services and interest in services, information or features of the Site or other parties made available through or found at the Site.
Permission for Use
MMI may collect and use personal information that you submit at the Site in any manner that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at the Site at the point you submit such personal information. At the time you submit personal information or make a request, the intended use of the information you submit will be apparent in the context in which you submit it and/or because the Site states the intended purpose. By submitting personal information at the Site, you are giving your consent and permission for any use that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at the Site at the point you submit such personal information, and such consent will be presumed by MMI, unless you state otherwise at the time you submit the personal information. Please do not request any such communications on behalf of an individual or company if you are not authorized to make the request.
Protecting Your Information
We would like our Site visitors to feel confident about using the Site to plan and purchase their accommodations, so MMI is committed to protecting the information we collect. MMI has implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access.
Our Site is hosted in a secure environment. The Site servers/systems are configured with data encryption, or scrambling, technologies, and industry-standard firewalls. When you enter personal information in our contact form, your data is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure safe transmission.
Withdrawing Consent to Use
If, after permitting use of your personal information, you later decide that you no longer want MMI to include you on its mailing list or otherwise contact you or use your personal information in the manner disclosed in this Privacy Policy or at the Site, simply tell us by sending us an email or by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" button at the bottom of our email communication to you.
Use of Aggregated Data
MMI is interested in improving the Site and may develop and offer new features and services. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of the Site for marketing purposes and to study, improve and promote use of the Site. In connection with such purposes, MMI may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal information about individual Site users in any way that identifies who they are or how to contact them.
Exceptions to the Privacy Policy
MMI has two exceptions to these limits on use of personal information:
(1) MMI may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of MMI from unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site.
(2) This is a United States website and is subject to United States law. MMI may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual.
Use of Cookies
To enable features at the Site, MMI may assign one or more "cookies" to your Internet browser. Cookies, among other things, speed navigation through our Site, keep track of information so that you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site, and may provide you with customized content.
A cookie is an Internet mechanism composed of a small text file containing a unique identification number that permits a web server to send small pieces of information or text by means of your browser and place them on your computer's hard drive for storage. This text lets the web server know if you have previously visited the web page. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user.
We use cookies to collect and maintain aggregated data (such as the number of visitors) to help us see which areas are most popular with our users and improve and update the content on our site. While in the process of browsing our site, you also provide us with information that doesn't reveal your personal identity -- what type of destination you're exploring, for example. We use this aggregated data only as explained in this Privacy Policy. We do not connect aggregated data to any name, address, or other identifying information.
You may occasionally receive cookies from unaffiliated companies or organizations, to the extent they place advertising on our Site or are linked to the Site. These third-party cookies may collect information about you when you "click" on their content or link. This practice is standard in the Internet industry. Because of the way in which the Internet operates, we cannot control collection of this information by these third parties, and these cookies are not subject to this Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy & Parental Consent
Please be aware that MMI has not designed this Site for, and does not intend for it to be used by, anyone under age 18. Accordingly, this Site should not be used by anyone under age 18. Our privacy policy prohibits us from accepting users who are under the age of 18. MMI specifically requests that persons under the age of 18 not use this Site or submit or post information to the Site. Should MMI inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 18, MMI will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the user under age 18 used the Site and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from MMI.
Links to Other Sites
If you choose to leave this MMI site via links to other non-MMI websites, including those of advertisers, MMI is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of those sites, nor is MMI responsible for the cookies those sites use.
Privacy Policy Consent
Use of the Site signifies your consent, as well as the consent of the company for whom you use the Site and whose information you submit (if any), to this online Privacy Policy, including the collection and use of information by MMI, as described in this statement, and also signifies agreement to the terms of use for the Site. Continued access and use of the Site without acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy relieves MMI from responsibility to the user.
Policy Modifications & Contacting MMI
