PRIVACY POLICY

We value your business and, most importantly, your loyalty. We respect your privacy and are committed to creating a safe environment for you to browse and make online reservations. This privacy policy demonstrates Grand Pacific Resorts commitment to assuring a strong and meaningful customer relationship, and addresses questions about the type of personally identifiable information we collect on our websites, the third parties with whom we might share such information, and how you can review or change the personally identifiable information you provide to us when creating profiles on our websites.

We collect information you voluntarily provide in order for us to provide services and products, process reservations and other transactions you request, and provide customer service. We may also use the personally identifiable information we collect for other business purposes such as to better understand customer needs, enhance relationships, make appropriate offers, or facilitate third party offers we feel will be of interest to you.

More information about the third parties with whom we may share your personally identifiable information is described below in the section entitled Sharing Information with Third Parties. This privacy policy applies only to the personally identifiable information collected on those public websites where we post this policy (i.e., not information collected elsewhere).
