Effective Date: January 2021

PLEASE REVIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. When you submit information to or through the Website (as defined below), you consent to the collection and processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

By using the Website, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and consent to our collection, use, processing, disclosure and retention of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you have not done so already, please also review our Terms of Use, which can be found here. The Terms of Use contain provisions that, among other things, limit our liability to you and require you to resolve any dispute with us on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made a part of our Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR THE TERMS OF USE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE.

1. Scope
The Privacy Policy applies to the website located at http://www.motorcitycasino.com (the “Website”). The Website is owned and/or operated by Detroit Entertainment, L.L.C. d/b/a MotorCity Casino Hotel ("MotorCity Casino Hotel," “we,” “our,” or “us”).

This Privacy Policy describes, among other things:

  • Information that we receive and/or collect from you when you interact with the Website.
  • How we use, process, and retain the information that we receive and/or collect from you.
  • If and why Personal Information (as defined below) may be shared, transferred, or otherwise disclosed to third parties
  • Your choices regarding the collection and processing of your Personal Information.
Certain transactions and services offered while using the Website may be processed or provided by or through third party websites (referred to as “Linked Services” in the Terms of Use), even though it may appear that you have not left the Website. A link to any Linked Service does not mean that we endorse such Linked Service or the quality or accuracy of information presented on it. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by or through Linked Services that you may access through the Website, nor does it apply to information that you submit to us through email, text message, other electronic message or offline. MotorCity Casino Hotel does not have any control over how such Linked Services use information that they collect from you. To determine the privacy policies applicable to information collected by such Linked Services, please consult their respective websites.

2. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy, in whole or part, from time to time by posting the modified Privacy Policy on the Website. The modified version will supersede all previous versions. Therefore, you should periodically review the Privacy Policy. The modified Privacy Policy shall be effective immediately on posting, and the date at the top of this page will be changed to reflect the date of posting. Your continued use of the Website following posting of the modified Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of such Privacy Policy. We may terminate the Privacy Policy at any time, in our sole discretion, without any notice to you. We will not make retroactive changes that reduce your privacy rights unless we are legally required to do so.

3. Information We Collect
We routinely collect a variety of information from a variety of sources. The type of information we collect varies (depending on your use of the Website) and includes both personal and non-personal information. Examples of the type of information that we may potentially collect from you include but are not limited to:

(a) “Personal Information” means information associated with or used to identify or contact a specific person. Personal Information includes but is not limited to:

(i) contact data (such as e-mail address, mailing address, and telephone number);
(ii) demographic data (such as gender, date of birth, and zip code);

(iii) certain Usage Data (defined below), such as IP addresses; and (iv) sensitive Personal Information, such as your Club Metro card number, credit card number, debit card number, or other sensitive financial account information used to make purchases. Note that sensitive Personal Information is subject to stricter regulation than other Personal Information. Before providing it for our use, we urge you to carefully consider whether to disclose your sensitive Personal Information to us. If you provide sensitive Personal Information to us, you consent to its use, processing, retention, and disclosure for the purposes and in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

(b) “Usage Data” is information about an individual's online activity that, by itself, does not identify the individual, which includes but is not limited to:

(i) technical information, the web browser or other applications or programs through which the user has accessed the Website; and
(ii) information about what the user has searched for and looked at while using the Website, such as search terms used and details of other information and content accessed or requested in using the user's IP address, device version and identification number. Generally, we do not consider Usage Data to be Personal Information because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual; however, some Usage Data may be Personal Information under applicable law. Personal Information and Usage Data may be linked together; different types of Usage Data also may be linked together and, once linked, may identify an individual person. Also, we may combine the information we collect from you with information from other sources (including but not limited to Linked Services) and use the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.
