Website and Resort Privacy Policy

Revised July 24, 2023

Your Consent

Please take a few minutes to review this Privacy Policy before using this Website and Resort services. By using this Website and Resort services, you are consenting, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to the collection, use and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, you may not access or use this Website or the services at the Resort. You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Website Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our Website, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use this Website.

Please note that some of the shops and services offered at our Resort and through our Website are provided by third parties and not the Company. This Policy does not apply to those third parties. To the extent that you share your personal information with them directly, we encourage you to review their privacy policies and practices.

Transactional Text Messaging

 By providing your cell phone number you are consenting to receive non-promotional text messages about your reservation or appointment from the French Lick Resort. For example, text messages with your room or appointment confirmation number, text messages about your room being ready, text messages with reservation reminders about an upcoming appointment or golf tee-time, text messages requesting you to come to the front desk for information related to your room such as: receiving new keys, having received a message from another guest, a letter, or package. Replies are not monitored, as these are notification messages only.  These messages are transactional in nature and will not be used to provide promotional or marketing information. STOP to stop receiving all messages.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Information You Manually Provide. The Resort collects the information you manually provide (using your keyboard, mouse, or touchpad) when you use this Website. For example, we collect the information you provide when you create an account, reserve a room, ask us a question, or otherwise interact with this Website.  

Information from your browser or device. The Resort collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser or mobile device. This information typically includes your IP address, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. The information we receive may depend on your browser or device settings. The information we receive from your web browser and device may or may not be personally identifiable. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you. 

Personal Information

Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide an efficient and customized experience. In order to better provide you with our services, we collect and process two types of information about Users:

  • Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that, either alone or in combination with other identifiers, lets us know specifics about you or who you are and may also be called personal data or personal information in this Privacy Policy. When you engage in certain activities on this Website or at the Resort, such as sending us a message or ordering a service, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. But, if you elect to do so, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, and telephone number, and other personally identifiable information. In the case of Resort reservations, we ask for your address, room and service preferences, and payment details. When ordering products or services on the Website or at the Resort, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Personally identifiable information also includes online identifiers, including your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer or other device whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your Device.
  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our Website. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated and anonymized basis. This information may include the Website's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, and what browser you are using. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

You may browse this Website without providing any personally identifiable information. However, when you visit our Website, we collect and process your personally identifiable information for the following purposes: in order to process your online reservation at one of our Hotels; so that you may sign up for other services from our Resort and participate in other options, offers, or services offered through this Website; or so that you may sign up for the French Lick Rewards® Card.

During your visit to our Resort, we may collect additional personally identifiable information about you for the following purposes: to process, fulfill and confirm reservations and other Resort offerings. This includes, for example, your use of the Casino, golf course, shops, room service, restaurants or spa. We may also collect and use your information to respond to your questions, process your enrollment in or use of preferred guest service programs, and obtain feedback about our Resort and services so that we can continually provide outstanding service and look for ways to continue improving that service and our offerings to our visitors.

We may also collect certain information in connection with the use of our guest Internet at the Resort. (Please see the cookies section of this Policy for additional information.) If you sign up for services through our Website, you always have the option of unsubscribing from our programs at any time. Occasionally, we may invite you to participate in a survey or poll such as providing feedback about our site content, services, or products. Your responses will be anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact details so that we can provide you with additional information regarding the survey.

The information that we collect through this Website and at our Resort is limited to that which is relevant for the intended purpose. We will primarily use your personally identifiable information to provide our services or products to you, as described above. We also use the personally identifiable information we have collected:

  • for security, credit monitoring or fraud prevention purposes;
  • to improve the content, functionality and usability of our Website;
  • to conduct and improve our marketing and promotional efforts;
  • to contact you with special offers and other information we believe will be of interest to you (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);
  • to statistically analyze site use;
  • to customize our Website's content, layout, and services;
  • to contact you regarding administrative notices;
  • to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy; and
  • for any other purpose identified in an applicable privacy notice, click-through agreement or other agreement between you and us.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we do not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. In certain instances, including as described above, providing us with your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Policy may be a requirement to provide you with our services. If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to provide our services to you.

Visitors Outside of the United States

The Resort properties are located in the United States. As such, they adhere to applicable local, state, and federal laws that apply within the U.S. The privacy laws in the United States may not offer the same level of protection for personal information as offered in other countries, such as the European Union and Canada. By providing your personal information to us, you understand and provide consent to collect the data that you voluntarily share with us, including sharing that data with individuals in the U.S. as described in this Privacy Policy, and storing that data on servers that are located by individuals in the U.S. At the same time, you understand that the Resort makes no voluntary submissions to the standards of another jurisdiction; all disclosures made to the websites, staff, or systems of the Resort are voluntary and at the risk of the disclosing party.

Sharing Your Information

Within our Company Affiliates. Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, the personal information that you provide to us through this Website may be combined with other information that we hold about you from other sources. To the extent that you have not asked us to refrain from doing so, we may use that information for marketing and promotional purposes within the Resort. This will allow us to inform you about special offers or promotions that might be of interest to you in relation to our Resort or services. We do not, however, disclose your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

With Third-Party Vendors. We may share some of your information with business partners and vendors that we retain to assist us with our Resort. Those business partners help us ensure that we continually provide outstanding service to you and otherwise meet your expectations during your entire experience with us. For example, we may use third-party vendors to assist with spa and hotel room bookings and to help us with our promotional efforts. When we retain those business partners, we require them to uphold at least an equivalent level of protection for your information as that described in this Privacy Policy and as required under applicable laws. We do not rent or sell your information or otherwise share it with any non-affiliated third party for their own use.

As Part of a Business Transfer or to Comply with Laws. There may also be limited types of legal situations where we are required to share some of your information, such as in the event of a transfer of ownership of the business, in connection with regulatory or legal matters, where required for safety and security, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. When we do, we limit the transfer to the information that is relevant under the circumstances and, to the extent possible, require the recipient to uphold an equivalent level of protection for the data.
