Advanced Marketing Results dba Hotel Marketing Strategist (“HMS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.
Who We Are
Our official website address is: https://www.hotelmarketingstrategist.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from images posted on the website.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the external site directly.
These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you are logged in to that site.
Analytics and Tracking
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website and improve user experience. This may include services such as Google Analytics or similar tools that track site usage, pages visited, time on site, and device/browser details.
These services may collect your IP address and set cookies in your browser. Data collected is anonymized where possible and is used only for internal analysis to improve our marketing strategies and website performance.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Email Marketing and Communications
If you subscribe to our mailing lists, newsletters, or updates, we may collect your name, email address, and other relevant contact information.
We use trusted third-party platforms including Zoho Campaigns, Zoho CRM, related Zoho products, and Mailchimp to manage communications. These platforms help us deliver updates, marketing messages, and personalized communications.
You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in each email or by contacting us directly.
Payment Processing and Bookings
If you purchase services or make bookings through HMS or our affiliated websites, your payment details may be processed by trusted third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal.
We do not store or process your full credit card details on our servers. All payment data is encrypted and handled securely in compliance with PCI-DSS standards by our payment partners.
Who We Share Your Data With
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Third-party vendors (e.g., analytics, email marketing, and payment processors) may process your data solely for the purpose of providing contracted services.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
- For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase personal data we hold about you.
This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through automated spam detection and email services. Data related to analytics, newsletters, or payments may be processed securely by our third-party providers as outlined above.
