The information we collect
When you make a booking via the
TTHHotels web site, we need to
collect information about you to
process the transaction and fulfil
your order. This information
includes, but is not limited to,
details such as your name, your
contact details (email, phone, fax)
and your credit card details. When
you submit a request via our email
support forms, we also collect your
name and email so that we may
respond to your request or query as
quickly as possible.
How
we use the information
When you become a member of
TTHHotels or submit a booking
request, we use the collected
information in several ways:
- Personal identification and verification
- To complete your hotel reservation
- To allow us to contact you for customer
service, if required
- To make improvements to the TTHHotels web
site
We disclose your information to third parties (such
as our hotels) only for the purpose of completing your transaction with us,
providing the above services to you and for the purposes of associated
administration. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third
parties for marketing purposes.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our
contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do
so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement
authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or
advisable. Such situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce
contracts with our customers; to protect the rights or properties of Istanbul
Travel, our business affiliates, our customers, or others; or when we have
reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify,
contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing, or who may be
threatening to cause, interference with or damage to our rights or properties,
whether intentionally or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such
activities.
Like most web sites, there is certain information
we automatically track, including the URL that you just came from, the browser
you are using and your IP address. This data is utilised to improve the services
of TTHHotels and does not include any personally identifying information.
Our commitment to data security
While being transmitted over the Internet, your credit card details are
protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit card details are
only used to pay for accommodation booked through our service. These details are
stored securely at all times, are not used for any other purpose and will never
be provided to any unauthorised third parties.
TTHHotels has also obtained a digital certificate
from THAWTE Server CA (part of the VeriSign group), an industry leader in the
protection and management of data transmission and storage.
Cookies
We may, from time to time, use "cookies" to store your preferences, record
session information and collect information on how you visit and access our Web
pages. We collect information on the Web pages visited by our customers in order

"Cookies" are pieces of information that our Web
page transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
can make the Web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a

use them to provide useful features for you. Cookies in and of themselves do not
personally identify you, only your computer.
Opting out of promotional information
We at TTHHotels work hard to provide our clients with the best possible rates in
all our hotels. From time to time, we will send our members newsletters, updates
and specials for hotels in certain areas. You will only receive this
correspondence if you have chosen to do so and we hope that you will find these
items informative and useful. However, should you choose to not receive them in
the future, you will have the ability to unsubscribe from the mail database by
clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email.

site or the legislation changes. Please check back periodically for updates and
additions. If you have any concerns or queries about the Privacy Policy of
TTHHotels or would like more information, please contact us on
