A. The Types of Personal Information We Collect From You via This Website
When you browse this Website we do not collect personal information about you unless you provide it to us. This means that, with one exception, we will not know your name, your email address, or any other personal information about you just because you browse this Website. The exception is if you access the Website from a link in an email that we sent to you – in that case, we will know who you are based on information you previously supplied to us.
When you submit a request for information from us, we collect the personal information you choose to submit to us in the context of your request for information. While you can choose not to provide us with any personal information, or with limited personal information, as part of your request for information from us, if you do so we may not be in a position to respond to your request for information.
Please note that personal information that you provide when you visit this Website may be provided to and processed by third parties under contract with us. When your personal information is submitted to these third parties, we require those third parties to exercise reasonable care to protect your personal information and restrict the use of your personal information to the purposes for which it was provided.

We may use cookies to obtain information about you while visiting our web sites. A cookie is a very small text file that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. It assigns the computer with a unique identifier, which in turn, becomes your identification card whenever you return to this Website. Cookies are designed to save you time because they help us to provide you with a customized experience without you having to remind us of your preferences each time you return to our web page. The cookies we use are not designed to damage your files, nor can they read information from other files on your computer hard drive.
Our cookies are limited to this Website only, and are not designed to follow you when traveling on the Internet after leaving this Website. We track the usage of our web sites in order to better meet your needs and to help make it easier for you to find information in the future.

C. How We Use Personal Information We Collect From You Via This Website
Your personal information may be used for various purposes, including, but not limited to:
- providing services such as processing a transaction (e.g., making a reservation, fulfilling a request for information, or completing a product order);
- marketing and communications with you in relation to the products and services offered by The Cosmopolitan, our strategic marketing partners, and other third parties; and/or
- performing market research via surveys to better serve your needs, improve the effectiveness of our web sites, your hotel experience, our various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities.
Your permission to use personal information we collect from you via this Website in other ways will be implied from the nature of the service requested or transaction undertaken. For example, your permission will be deemed given for communications from us that are necessary to fulfill transactions and services that you request.
We may also use your personal information for non-marketing purposes such as conducting statistical or demographic analysis. We may also combine personal information you submit to us with other generally or publicly available information to help us identify your preferences or interests or to help us match e-mail addresses with postal addresses.
If you do not want us or a third party to whom we have provided your personal information to use your personal information for marketing purposes, you may opt-out of such uses by notifying us in accordance with Section E of this Policy. Please note that opting-out will not prevent your personal information from being used for non-marketing purposes.
In the course of processing your information, it may be necessary to transfer your personal information to The Cosmopolitan’s third party service providers for the purposes outlined within this Policy. As a general practice, we do not sell, rent, or give physical possession of your personal information to third parties other than:
- when we have received your consent to do so;
- in situations where sharing or disclosing your information is required in order to offer you products or services you desire (e.g., a vacation package);
- when companies or services providers that perform business activities on behalf of The Cosmopolitan require such information (e.g., credit card processing, customer support services, market research administration or database management services);
- in the event of a business transfer, such as those described below;
- to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law or court order; and/or
- in case of emergency such as to safeguard the life, health, or property of an individual.
If information is shared as mentioned above, we seek to limit the scope of information that is furnished to the amount necessary for the performance of the specific function. Unless otherwise precluded by legal process, we require third parties to protect your PII and abide by applicable privacy laws and regulations.
D. Security Measures We Take to Protect Your Personal Information
We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures in an effort to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorized access or improper use. From time to time, The Cosmopolitan will review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. However, you acknowledge and agree that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and your personal information may still be accessed and used by others without authorization in the event of a security breach.
E. Updating Your Personal Information and Opt-Out Choices
To ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, we encourage you to regularly review and update your information as appropriate (e.g., in the event your home or e-mail address changes, or you wish to add an additional method for us to communicate with you). You can access, update, and change the personal information you have provided to us, and modify your opt-out choices, by contacting us by email at: Privacy@CosmopolitanLasVegas.com, by telephone at 702-215-5500, or by postal mail at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas 4285 Polaris Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 Attn: Privacy. Occasionally, information that you request to be removed will be retained in certain files for a period of time in order to properly resolve disputes or to troubleshoot problems. In addition, some types of information may be stored indefinitely on “back up” systems or within log files due to technical constraints, or financial or legal requirements. Therefore, you should not always expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your request.
You may unsubscribe from marketing e-mails from The Cosmopolitan by clicking on the unsubscribe links in those e-mails. If The Cosmopolitan receives an opt-out or unsubscribe request from you, The Cosmopolitan thereafter (i) will not contact you directly with marketing messages about The Cosmopolitan’s products or services, and (ii) will not use personal information obtained from your use of the Website to contact you with marketing messages.
F. Business Transfers
In the event that The Cosmopolitan is acquired by (whether by sale of assets or ownership interests) or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign all of the personal information we have collected from you via our Website (including via any survey in which you have participated) as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred or used.
