INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR COMPUTER (“COOKIES”). When you visit this Site, PNC may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file and can help us maintain and improve this Site. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a Web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, recording such things as Internet addresses, passwords, and preferences. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. With most Internet browsers, you can erase “cookies” from your computer hard drive, block all “cookies,” or receive a warning before a “cookie” is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions.

HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION: We use the information collected from you primarily to fulfill your reservation at PNC. Prior to your stay, this may include sending your information to the PNC or sending you pre-stay communications. Following your stay, we may also send you post-stay communications and satisfaction surveys to get feedback on your experience.

In some instances where we have your consent or where permitted under applicable law, we may send you marketing communications (which may include text messages) for products and services that we believe would be relevant for you. We also may use information related to your stay to display targeted advertisements on our websites or on third party websites or to send you more relevant messaging.

In certain instances, subject to local consent requirements, third party service providers may also assist us with various marketing campaigns. We may also share your information with third parties to extend special offers about their own products and services to you. Any such parties will need to agree to comply with our privacy requirements before we provide them with information.

Aside from the purposes described above, we do not share your stay information with any other third parties unless we have your consent or under special circumstances, such as:

In these instances, we will collect information from you for running and administering the respective competition, sweepstakes or service that you have elected to participate in.
