Megaro Hotel is very sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important you know how we treat the information you may provide to us.

Unless prominently and specifically stated otherwise, the information you provide is never shared outside of Megaro Hotel.

This privacy statement applies only to information collected by web addresses in the Megaro Hotel.co.uk and dbnt.co.uk domains, hereafter referred to collectively as Megaro Hotel.

How We Gather Information
To save you time and make our web services even easier to use, you may create a Megaro Hotel portal account using your personal information. You may do this by visiting https://portal.Megaro Hotel.co.uk. The Megaro Hotel portal system saves your information and ties it to your email addresses and password. The next time you visit the Megaro Hotel website, you can simply enter your email address and passwordthe system will automatically look up the information it needs.

If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you. We also use the mailing address to send you conference brochures and other items of interest.

When you register online for a conference, you have the opportunity to opt out of being included in a paper attendee list. We give a copy to every student and vendor that attends the conference. The information on the attendee list consists of first name, last name, phone number, company, city, state and country. If you do not wish to be included in the conference attendee list, simply opt out where the form says "Include my name in attendee list".

When you register over the web for a free vendor-sponsored webcast, you have the opportunity to opt out from a registrant list that will be sent to the vendor. Since webcasts are vendor sponsored, if the webcast sells out, students that opt in will be given priority. Megaro Hotel has an agreement with webcast sponsors, part of the webcast agreement, specifically labeled "Privacy Policy" that states the information we provide is for their co.ukanization only and they agree not to share or resell them. The data given to the sponsoring vendor includes email address, first name, last name, title, work phone, company name, address, city, state, postal code and country. Megaro Hotel will securely transmit the attendee data to the sponsoring vendor, however we cannot assume responsibility for vendor actions.

Megaro Hotel may occasionally provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users.

Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
