PRIVACY: Shell
Vacations LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “SVC”) consider
your privacy important. As further described herein, we use security safeguards
and support the principles set forth in Canadian federal and provincial privacy
legislation to protect your personal information. To better protect your privacy
and personal information, SVC is providing you with this notice regarding our
information-handling practices and the choices you have about the way your
personal information is collected, used and shared. SVC is committed to
providing you with the finest vacation ownership and vacation club membership
products backed consistently by first class service. We fully recognize the
importance of keeping personal and account information secure when we collect
information about you that is necessary to provide our products and services. To
further allow us to offer you products and services that may interest you and
best meet your needs, whether they are available directly from SVC or through
our relationships with other companies, SVC may, subject to applicable privacy
laws, share information about you both within SVC and its affiliated companies
and with non-affiliated companies. THIRD-PARTY LINKS: This website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information. THE WAY WE USE INFORMATION: The information you provide about yourself when accepting an offer to tour SVC properties, applying for credit through SVC, making reservations, utilizing resort services or Member benefits, or purchasing SVC points and products is used by SVC to offer you the widest range of products and services, as well as to service your membership or relationship with SVC.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive and to communicate special offers with SVC Owners, Members, employees or SVC-affiliated website subscribers. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with unaffiliated outside parties. We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number of individuals visited a certain area on our website or purchased a particular product, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals. Finally, we do not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.. SVC SECURITY
PROCEDURES: SVC
understands and appreciates the importance of protecting and securing NPI and
using it appropriately. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that comply with applicable federal or provincial standards for the
security of information. These security procedures are tested and monitored on a
regular basis in order to make certain all security procedures are being
followed. Access to information about you is restricted to the representatives
of SVC who require it to provide products or services to you. If we no longer
need to retain your information, we will dispose of it in a secure manner. When
SVC shares information about you with non-affiliated companies outside of SVC,
we require that they impose similar safeguards, use it only for a permitted
purpose, and to return it to us or destroy it once that purpose is served. SVC
requires a non-affiliated company receiving information from SVC to sign an
agreement containing confidentiality requirements and obligating that company to
protect the information. Although the trans-border flow of information is
subject to the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents
Act, as well as the laws of the receiving country, the data protection
regulations and other laws of other countries may not provide the same
protection as those in Canada do. INFORMATION WE SHARE WITH OTHERS: SVC does not share NPI with third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes. We may disclose certain NPI about you to the following types of third parties for the purposes of SVC-related offers or activities: (1) Financial services providers, such as mortgage bankers, securities broker-dealers, insurance agents and companies and credit card companies; (2) Franchisees and their affiliated and subsidiary companies; (3) Non-financial companies, such as retailers, direct marketers (in conjunction with marketing affiliations and joint marketing efforts) manufacturers, service companies, communications companies, travel agencies, airlines, cruise lines, rental car companies, hotels and publishers; and (3) Others, such as non-profit organizations.

We may also disclose all of the information we collect as described above to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with whom we have marketing or similar agreements.
