3 findings, in full

The first 3 of this report’s 15 key findings, complete — claim, reasoning, and the policy’s own wording.

Sensitive Data No direct setting For China residents, Hilton's sensitive information may include passport, payment and precise positioning details

What this means

For China residents, Hilton says the sensitive personal information it handles may include passport or ID card, payment card, spending amount, stay details, interaction with Hilton websites and precise positioning information.

Why this matters

A hotel stay can involve identity documents, payment details and where you are.

What the policy says

The sensitive personal information involved in this Statement may include passport or ID card information, payment card information, spending amount, accommodation information (such as arrival and departure time), interaction with Hilton websites, and precise positioning information. We only process your sensitive personal information where such processing is strictly necessary for the relevant purposes identified in the Personal Information We Collect section in the main body of this Statement.

What you can do

No setting found that directly changes this practice.

In the Hilton documents we searched for this finding, we did not verify a setting that changes this specific practice.

A broader option is available

For individuals residing in China or citizens of China, Appendix A-6 says you have the right to access, correct and/or (in certain circumstances) delete your personal information and to withdraw consent to Hilton's processing of your personal information.

That is a wider action rather than a privacy setting for this practice — it changes more than this, and it is not the same as turning this off.

Advertising & Profiling Hilton may share device identifiers like IP address and advertising IDs for targeted ads

Hilton says device identifiers such as IP address, unique advertising identifiers and cookies are among the information it may share with ad networks, advertisers and social media networks for targeted advertising.
