Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Verbena and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Verbena”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collect, use, store, and share your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to: (1) information we collect when you access and/or use our websites (“Websites”); (2) information we collect when you visit and/or purchase products at Verbena; (3) information we collect when you communicate with us in any manner, including by e-mail, fax, telephone, or in-person; and (4) information we collect about you from third parties, such as service providers and non-affiliated third-parties.

 

Acknowledgment

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. The practices described herein are subject to applicable laws in the places in which we operate.

BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING OUR WEBSITES, VISITING OUR PROPERTIES, OR COMMUNICATING WITH US IN ANY MANNER, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS PRIVACY POLICY. 

 

What Types of Personal Information Do We Collect, From Where, and How is it Used?

Depending on how you interact with our Websites, how you communicate with us, and how we communicate with unaffiliated third parties, we may collect a variety of categories of your personal information.

Below we outline those categories and include a description from where we collect the information and how it is used.

Please note, we have adopted California Privacy Rights (CCPA) for all users within the United States, regardless of the state in which you reside.

In using our services, you may occasionally provide information, such as your name, your contact information, or other information about yourself to Verbena, our affiliates, our service providers, or other businesses which you may contact while using the services. Verbena and these other entities may use this information and other technical information about your use of our services to tailor their presentations to you, to facilitate your use of our services or to communicate separately with you. We also may share personal information with other companies (“Third Parties”) as described in this policy or at the time that your information is collected. You have the right to opt-out to limit our sharing of your information, as described below.

 

Do We Sell or Share Your Personal Information?

We do not sell your personal information. We also have no actual knowledge of selling the personal information of minors under the age of 18.

We do, however, disclose your personal information for certain business purposes, including:

  • With your consent. We may disclose your personal information with your consent in writing; online, through “click-through” agreements; when you accept the terms of use on our Websites, where applicable; orally, either in person or on the phone; or by other means.
  • In a business transfer. We may disclose your personal information as part of a corporate business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, joint venture, corporate reorganization, financing, or sale of company assets, or in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which such information could be transferred to third parties as a business asset in the transaction.
  • To service providers. We may disclose your personal information to third party vendors and partners who complete transactions or perform services on our behalf (e.g., complete your reservation, provide a service at one of our Properties, complete a transaction).
  • To subsidiaries and affiliates. We may disclose your personal information to subsidiaries and affiliates to further facilitate your use of our Websites and to ensure your visit and experience at one of our Properties is smooth and consistent.
  • For legal process and protection. We may disclose your personal information to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process, governmental request, or where we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to:
    • Enforce or apply agreements, or initiate, render, bill, and collect for our services
    • Protect our rights or interests, property or safety or that of others
    • Protect users of our Websites or visitors to one of our Properties, or other carriers or providers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, or subscription to, such services
    • Facilitate or verify the appropriate calculation of taxes, fees, or other obligations due to a local, state, or federal government
    • In case of an emergency.

Some Personal Information is gathered when you sign up for our communications, enter a site feedback or contact form, or complete a client satisfaction survey. During the on-line registration process, for example, Verbena may ask for your name, email address, telephone number, postal code, occupation, industry information and professional interests. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we can assist you with your needs.

 

Links to Third Party Sites

Our Websites may contain links to third party websites and services. Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review. This Privacy Policy applies to our Websites only, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the policies or practices of any third parties. 

 

Third-Party Tracking / Do Not Track

Our Websites may, from time to time, collect information about your online activities, over time and across our different Websites. When you use our Websites, third parties may also collect information about your online activities, over time and across different internet websites, online or cloud computing services, online applications, or mobile applications. Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” feature, which is intended to be a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites you visit. Our Websites do not currently change the way they operate based upon detection of a “Do Not Track” or similar signal.

 

Social Media

Our Websites may, from time to time, contain links to and from social media platforms. When you use those links, we may collect additional information from or about you, such as your screen names, profile picture, contact information, contact list, and the profile pictures of your contacts, through the social media platform. Please be advised that social media platforms may also collect information from you. We do not have control over the collection, use and sharing practices of social media platforms. We therefore encourage you to review their usage and disclosure policies and practices, including their data security practices, before using the social media platforms.

 

How Do We Store and Protect Your Personal Information?

The security of your personal information is important to us. That is why we take commercially reasonable steps to make sure your personal information is protected. Although no system can guarantee the complete security of your personal information, we will use our best efforts to maintain commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and physical safeguards, consistent with applicable law, to protect your personal information. 

 

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?

We keep your personal information for as long as necessary in accordance with the purpose for which it was collected, our business needs, and our legal and regulatory obligations. If we dispose of your personal information, we will do so in a way that is secure and appropriate to the nature of the information subject to disposal.
