iii. Personal information may include your first and last name, title, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax number, language, employer, business title, diverse preferences regarding accommodation and travel habits and other personal identifying information.

i. You should be aware that information and data is automatically collected through the use of 'cookies'. Cookies, which are small text files a web site can use to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user's continuing access to and use of the site. They allow a site to track usage behaviour and compile data which will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programmes that come onto your system and damage files.

ii. Cookies generally work by assigning a unique number that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Please note, however, that cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features, for example customised delivery of information available on this web site.

Depending upon the service you wish to use, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory ('Mandatory Information') and some is optional ('Optional Information'). If you do not provide the Mandatory Information with respect to a particular service, we will not be able to process any request you may make.

If you do not wish to have your Personal Information processed for any of these Purposes then you will have the opportunity to indicate this below when you indicate your consent and submit any request to the Raffles Site.

Your Personal Information may, for the Purposes described above, be transferred or disclosed ('Disclose') to any company within Raffles Hotels & Resorts Limited and affiliated / associated companies ('the Raffles Group') wherever located in the world in whichever different jurisdiction they may operate, depending on which company within the Raffles Group can best provide the information requested or products and services sought.
