*Dear Customer:*

We were notified by our database marketing vendor, Epsilon, that we are 
among a group of companies affected by a data breach. How will this 
affect you? The company was advised by Epsilon that the files accessed 
did not include any customer financial information, and Epsilon has 
stressed that the only information accessed was names and e-mail 
addresses. The most likely impact, if any, would be receipt of unwanted 
e-mails. We are not aware at this time of any unsolicited e-mails (spam) 
that are related, but as a precaution, we want to remind you of a couple 
of tips that should always be followed:

. Do not open e-mails from senders you do not know

. Do not share personal information via e-mail

Hilton Worldwide, its brands and loyalty program will never ask you to 
e-mail personal information such as credit card numbers or social 
security numbers. You should be cautious of "phishing" e-mails, where 
the sender tries to trick the recipient into disclosing confidential or 
personal information. If you receive such a request, it did not come 
from Hilton Worldwide, its brands or its loyalty program. If you receive 
this type of request you should not respond to it but rather notify us 
at fraud_alert () hilton com 
<mailto:fraud_alert () hilton com?subject=Fraud%20Alert>.

As always, we greatly value your business and loyalty, and take this 
matter very seriously. Data privacy is a critical focus for us, and we 
will continue to work to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken 
to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

Sincerely,

        


        

Jeff Diskin
Jeffrey Diskin
Senior Vice President, Customer Marketing
Hilton Worldwide



We believe in transparency and know that keeping our valued customers 
with whom we have a relationship, or have had a relationship in the 
past, informed is the right thing to do.

If you have previously unsubscribed from promotional emails from Hilton 
Worldwide we will continue to respect your request.
