we are committed to the privacy, confidentiality, and security
of user information. Comfort Inn Ruidoso will not disclose identifiable

While visiting our site, at www.comfortinnruidoso.com
(hereinafter "Site"), we strive to

the site includes the gathering of certain types of information
about Site users. This Privacy Policy, which applies to the

"aggregated data" refers to general, abstracted information
regarding visitors and users of the Site, including 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 or features on the Site or on other sites
reached through the Site. |

Use
of Aggregated Information
We are constantly improving the Site and adding 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, Hotel 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. |
Exceptions to the Privacy Policy
Hotel has two exceptions to these limits on use of
personal information:
(1) Hotel 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 Hotel from unauthorized
use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site.
(2) Hotel 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, Hotel 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 aggregate information
about Site use. While in the process of browsing our site, you
supply non-personal information -- what type of destination
you're exploring, etc. 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 advertising or 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. |

provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.

Hotel may provide links to a number of other web sites
that we believe might offer you useful information and services.
