PRIVACY

Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) is committed to complying with obligations applicable to Marriott under applicable privacy and data protection laws, including to the extent applicable EU data protection laws. Hotel shall comply with the then-current Marriott Group Global Privacy Statement (the “Privacy Statement,” currently available at http://www.marriott.com/about/privacy.mi) with respect to any personal data received under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing obligation, Hotel has implemented measures designed to: (1) provide notice to individuals about its collection and use of their personal data, including through the Privacy Statement; (2) use such personal data only for legitimate business purposes; (3) provide means by which individuals may request to review, correct, update, suppress, restrict or delete or port their personal data, consistent with applicable law; (4) require any service providers with whom personal data is shared to protect the confidentiality and security of such data; and (5) use technical and organizational measures to protect personal data within its organization against unauthorized or unlawful access, acquisition, use, disclosure, loss, or alteration.

Group will obtain all necessary rights and permissions prior to providing any personal data to Hotel, including all rights and permissions required for Hotel, Hotel affiliates, and service providers to use and transfer the personal data to locations both within and outside the point of collection (including to the United States) in accordance with Hotel’s privacy statement and applicable law.

IN-HOUSE EQUIPMENT

Hotel will provide, at no charge, a reasonable amount of meeting equipment (for example, chairs, tables, etc.).

Event are subject to Hotel approval.

USE OF OUTSIDE VENDORS

If Group wishes to hire outside vendors to provide any goods or services at Hotel during the Event, Group must notify

Hotel of the specific goods or services to be provided and provide sufficient advance notice to the Hotel so that the Hotel can (i) determine, in Hotel’s sole discretion, whether such vendor must provide Hotel, in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Hotel, an indemnification agreement and proof of adequate insurance, and (ii) approve, using reasonable judgment, the selection of the outside vendor and the goods or services to be provided by such outside vendor to Group, taking into consideration: (a) whether Hotel offers such goods and services; (b) the risk level posed by certain activities;

and (c) the safety and well-being of guests at Hotel.
