  • To our trusted affiliates, including our parent company Resort Trust, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates, for the purpose of contacting you to promote luxury experiences, goods, or services you may enjoy, when you consent to such purpose. Because our parent company and its affiliates are located in Japan, we may need to transfer your information to a foreign country to fulfill this purpose.

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

The purpose for which you consent to disclosure of your personal information may require the transfer of the information to a recipient, such as an affiliate or a service provider, located in Japan or another country. If so, we will only transfer your personal information for the limited purpose to which you consent, and only to either: a recipient located in a country in which the personal information laws are deemed equivalent, in our sole discretion, to the laws of the jurisdiction of the applicable authority; or a recipient that undertakes adequate precautionary measures for the protection of personal information, as specified by applicable authority.
