When parents or guardians permit their children to use the internet

information should be provided to Oakwood, or any person or company,
by children under the age of majority in their country, state and/or
other community without the consent of the parent or guardian.

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we
at Oakwood Worldwide are not responsible for the privacy practices of

Notification Of Changes:
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
here so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Preferred
Partners:
Oakwood Corporate Housing requires Preferred Partners to ensure safeguards
are in place to protect the privacy of the information we share.
We carefully select these Partners to ensure your privacy and the value
of their offers.
We require the same safeguards for the information received over the
Internet as we do for customer information received by telephone and
mail. {top of page}
Security:
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
We use the VeriSign
Secure Server ID to protect your billing information. Based on the
same technology used to protect nuclear missile codes, VeriSign Secure
Server IDs provide the strongest security available today. This technology
makes it safe to transmit your credit card number over the Internet.
When our reservation form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the
lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, when you are just ‘surfing. {top
