You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of website forms. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing any future websites for you and communicating with you.

For example, like many websites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses ChicagoBayHideaway.com. Click here to see examples of the information we receive. A number of webs offer utilities designed to help you visit their site anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at ChicagoBayHideaway.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

What About Cookies?ChicagoBayHideaway.com's website uses cookies and sessions with it's PHP scripting environment. PHP is a server side language that's invisable to the client's browser, thus no information is passed on an open network. Cookies, if used are created on the server, not your home computer and these coolies are deleted upon exiting a page. Remember that no public utility such as a website or server can be considered 100% secure if a hacker is determined to access it. In as much said, we make every effort to make sure that your personal information is safe.
Does ChicagoBayHideaway.com Share the Information It Receives?Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below.
Third-Party Service Providers:We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers:In the event that we should transfer ownership of our business, such transactions and customer information that we've collected generally become transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that ChicagoBayHideaway.com, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of ChicagoBayHideaway.com and Others:We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of ChicagoBayHideaway.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
With Your Consent:Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?We work to protect the security of your information by processing it server side, (on the web) rather than over an unsecure line. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
What About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?We will not include third-party advertising and links to other websites. We will not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party websites.
These third-party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative offers useful information about Internet advertising companies (also called "ad networks" or "network advertisers"), including information about how to opt-out of their information collection.
Privacy Statement Revisions and UpdatesOur business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. You should check our website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
