People
a word of advice, when it comes to booking things over internet:
Don't use your normal email address, especially not if booking with US companies. I am really frustrated at the moment with Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia, but they are not the first one. Last time I stayed at the hotel was, lets see, 3 years ago. Pretty much.
In my reservation, which was done online, I specifically stated that I DIDN'T want them to save my address, I didn't want their what I would call spam, what they would call adverts. I also told them when checking in that could they please delete my mail address.
Since then I have received many ads. Every time I unsubscribe. It works for a while. And guess what? After a while the mail address is back on the list.
This DESPITE me requesting that they delete every trace of me, I don't want them to keep my information, and yet, woops, there it is again.
Horrible mannor, and in Europe, even illegal - although yes, it happens here too. DELL in Sweden is an example of such a company.
Gordon Ramsay's chain of restaurants too.
Yes, I know, I shouldn't publish names, and normally I don't, and these are just three examples, but three examples of companies that have been notoriously BAD at deleting my information, seriously, if I ask for it to be deleted the first time and it works for a while, but then it comes back again - you know, that is a sign that you never deleted it in the first place, just deactivated. But when I say delete I mean DELETE.
Very frustrating, Very frustrating indeed. Who knows what other information they have stored about me?
