Information You Actively Submit
You can browse the Website and take as much time as you want to review our services without having to submit any Personal Data.

In the following instances, however, we do need you to actively submit User Information – whenever you want to contact ATEN via electronic means or website submission forms or when you elect to make a reservation or purchase items from the online Store. We collect any User Information you submit via various webpage submission forms including, but not limited to, when you make a reservation, book a spa appointment, sign up for e-mail offerings or an online Store account, use our online Contact Us form, use our forward webpage to a friend feature, use our Reserve a Speaker form, use our online Share Your Story form, apply for a job with us, purchase products or services from our online Store, and submit any online question submission forms. 

E-mail Communications
When you send an e-mail to us, you are communicating with us electronically and consent to receive communication from us electronically. We may retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address, and our response in order to service your needs and requests. We may use the data that you provide to send you e-mail and for other business purposes, including marketing communications about our products or services that we believe you may find of interest. 

If you no longer wish to receive marketing e-mail from ATEN or the Website, you may unsubscribe by doing any one of the following actions:
a. Send an e-mail with your current information to: hello@atenluxuryretreats.com

If you send an e-mail or letter request, please be sure to include your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address. This will ensure we identify you correctly in our systems and accurately process your request. Please note that opting out of e-mail communications may not opt you out of receiving other hard copy information.

ATEN will take appropriate steps to implement your request to opt-out of receiving marketing communications. Please note that due to production, mailing and system timelines, in order to remove you from our marketing lists, it may take up to 10 business days for e-mails. Until that change takes effect, you may still receive marketing communications from us.

Also, please note that even though you may have opted out of receiving marketing communications, you may still receive business-related communications. Please be aware that opting-out of certain third party use may prevent us from providing certain services or products that you request.

Personal Medical Information
We do not require you to provide any personal medical information about yourself to us online, and we ask that you do not share personal medical information that you wish to keep confidential. Information you provide is not protected under confidentiality laws that protect physician-patient communications. Please carefully select what you choose to disclose.

Automatically Collected Information
In addition to any User Information that you choose to submit, some non-personally identifying information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit the Website. This information may include some or all of the following items: the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, including the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using and the IP address of your Internet Service Provider; the type and version of Internet browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site, the length of your stay and the specific pages, images, video or forms that you access while visiting the site; the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our website, and if applicable, the search engine that referred you and any search strings or phrases that you entered into the search engine to find this site; and demographic information concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s) used by it.

This information does not identify you personally, and we do not combine this information with any Personal Information that you may voluntarily and actively submit to us.  We will not use this information to identify you individually, unless we must do so to investigate and/or remedy an issue of Website security, or if we are required to do so for other law enforcement purposes.

Instead, we use this information in the aggregate (combined with similar information collected from our other Website visitors) to help us analyze, maintain, and improve the Website, to monitor the usage of our Website, assess its performance, ensure technological compatibility with your computer, and understand the relative importance of the information provided on our Website. We may also use this data to conduct statistical analyses on visitors’ usage patterns, trends and other aggregated data.

Information Collected via Cookies
“Cookies” are small text files that are placed in your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) by a web server. Cookies can be read by the web server in the domain that placed them and serve to distinguish one web browser from another.  The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites for authentication and to collect or track information about your activities while using the website.  A cookie may enable the website holder to track how a visitor navigates through its website and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a traffic report: it tracks trends and behaviors, but does not identify individuals. Information gathered may include date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent at the site, and the website visited just before and just after the Website.

Most people do not know that cookies are being placed in their browsers when they visit the Website or most websites because browsers are often set to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can refuse cookie placements.

Cookies can be set to expire: (1) on a specified date; (2) after a specific period of time; (3) when a transaction has been completed; or (4) when a user turns off his/her Internet browser. A cookie that is erased from memory when a visitor’s Internet browser closes is called a “session” cookie. Cookies that expire based on a time set by the Web server are called “persistent” cookies.  These cookies are saved by your browser to your computer’s hard drive.

The Website uses both session cookies and persistent cookies.  We use these cookies for analysis of the use of our Website and for marketing purposes.

Social Media Plug-Ins
We use social media plug-ins (buttons) on this Website such as for Facebook, Twitter, Google +, and Pinterest.  If you click on one of these buttons, your browser connects directly to the web servers of the associated social network. If you are registered and logged into your account(s) on the social network(s), the social network(s) will receive and may store data about your use of the webpages on our Website that you visit while logged into your social media account. When you use a social network plug-in on our Website (e.g. you press the Facebook “Like” –feature, the Twitter “Tweet this” feature, the Google plus “1+” button or “Pin” the Pinterest feature) or post a comment on the Website page, this information is directly transmitted to the associated social network(s) from your browser. Even if you are not registered with the social network or you are logged out when you visit our Website, your IP address may be transmitted to and stored by the social network.  For example, according to Facebook, your IP address is anonymously transmitted to Facebook when visiting any website that contains a "Like" button.

If you interact with our Website through a social media platform, then you may also be permitting ATEN to have access to some of the information from your social network profile (such as you name, email address, photo, gender, location, the people/sites you follow etc.).  

Each social network has its own privacy policy and rules concerning the sharing of information, including your ability to limit such sharing.  If you don’t want the social network to collect the information about you described above, or to share it with us and other third parties, you must review the privacy policy of the relevant social network and take the appropriate steps described in that policy.  In addition, you should log out of the relevant social network before you visit our Website.

We believe it is important for you to be able to find out what personally identifiable information you have provided to us through our website. If you have provided us with personally identifiable information, you can contact us to request that we provide you with the personally identifiable information we have in our records about you, including a list of third parties to which we have shared or disclosed personal information as set forth in this policy. We reserve the right to limit the number of times such a request can be made and to charge you for responding to such requests if this process is misused or abused.

We know you want the personally identifiable information we have on record about you to be as complete and accurate as possible. We feel the same way. If you become aware that personally identifiable information or sensitive information you may have provided that we have in our records about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or incompatible with the purposes for which it was provided or subsequently authorized by you, please notify us using the contact information provided below.

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards for this Website to help protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the personal information you provide on this Website. Unfortunately, no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. 

E-mail or other forms of electronic communication, including website submission, are not a confidential means of communication. While ATEN attempts to prevent unauthorized access to your User Information, or other information you submit, third parties not under our control may attempt to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. Therefore, any transmission of personal information to us is made at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us using the contact details below.

You have several options when deciding how you can best protect your personally identifiable information. One option is simply not to volunteer it. As stated above, this approach would allow you to still visit our website – although it will prevent you, for example, from taking advantage of some of our Website’s features including those in the automated “Contact Us” or other submission webpage or associated e-mail address.

f you have any questions or comments concerning our privacy policy, or if at any time you believe ATEN has not adhered to the policies and principles set forth in this Privacy Policy, please notify us using the contact information provided below.
