Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies:

When you visit our Websites, our servers may collect non-personal information, including details of your visits to our Websites and information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.

In SR&C’s case, this type of non-personal information is collected through automatic data collection technologies such as cookies and web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags and single pixel gifs). Cookies are small files stored on the user’s computer that measure usage of various pages on our website. Cookies help us to tailor information to your needs and make it easier for you to find what you need on our website. Web beacons provide us with statistical information relating to use of the various pages of our websites. When you visit various websites, including ours, certain information about your visit is automatically logged, such as server name, browser type, and IP address, date and time you accessed our Websites, pages you visited, and the internet address of the website, if any, from which you linked directly to our Websites.


Information Disclosure to Affiliated Entities:

For business purposes, we may share with our affiliates, including our various casino, resort and hospitality properties, as well as with our regulatory authority, the Seneca Gaming Authority, personal and non-personal information we receive from you and about your transactions with us.


INFORMATION DISCLOSURE TO NON-AFFILIATED ENTITIES:

Both personal and non-personal information may be shared by us with or collected by the third party service providers who provide us with services necessary to enable us to serve you. Examples of such services include payment card processing, on-line hotel reservation companies, rewards and purchase fulfillment, and various marketing-related activities. We require these service providers 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 to them.


Security:

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Because we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted to our Website, any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please do not share your with anyone. Be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards, as the information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website. Because we cannot control the security of the computers, devices or service providers (for example, email or cell-phone providers) you use to send personal information to us over the internet, we are not responsible for the disclosure or interception of information you send before we receive it. For your own safety and privacy, we recommend that you not include sensitive personal information (such as credit card data or social security number) in any email you may send to us.

Non-U.S. Residents:

Our Website and its contents are provided solely for promoting products, programs and services within the United States. If you are not a U.S. resident and you provide personal information to us, it will be transferred and processed on computers in the United States and may be transferred to computers in other countries. Do not provide your personal information to us if you do not want this information to be transferred outside your country, or if the laws of your country restrict these types of transfers. We will handle your personal information in the same way as we handle the personal information of U.S. residents. We do not guarantee that this privacy policy and our practices comply with the laws of your country.

 

Updating Your Information:

If you need to update or correct personal information, please contact us at 1-877-8-SENECA (1-877-873-6322) or 716-299-1100. You will be referred to the appropriate department. Online job applicants may correct or update the information they previously submitted by going to their profile page and updating it. Note that not all information may be changed. In addition, we may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate the law or legal requirements or cause the information to be incorrect.

 

Unsubscribing and opting out from marketing communications:

If you receive or have received marketing communications from us by email and wish to opt out, you may use the opt-out method indicated in the email.

If you no longer wish to receive promotional materials by direct mail, you may visit a Social Club booth at any SR&C property or contact us at 1-877-8-SENECA (1-877-873-6322).

Please note that you may continue to receive marketing communications from us for a limited time after you opt out or unsubscribe, as there is a short delay between when you submit your request to opt out and when the request is processed. Please note that unsubscribing and opting out of using and sharing of information for marketing purposes does not prevent us from using and sharing your information for other purposes, as outlined in this Privacy Policy. In addition, we are not responsible for removing your information collected by or shared by us with our business partners prior to your opt-out.

 

Changes to this Policy:

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. The revised Privacy Policy will be posted on our Website. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes and for ensuring we have an up to date email address for you.
