Right to Know: A Step‑By‑Step Guide to Accessing Your Personal Data with Wyndham

If you’ve ever wondered exactly what information a hospitality brand holds about you, your Right to Know makes it simple to find out. At Wyndham, you can submit a Right to Know request to obtain details about your personal data—what was collected, why, and with whom it was shared—up to twice within any 12‑month period. This guide explains what the Right to Know covers, how to verify your identity, and the fastest ways to submit your request.

What the Right to Know Means at Wyndham

Your Right to Know lets you request access to specific pieces or categories of personal information Wyndham has handled in the prior 12 months. As allowed by law, you can receive a copy free of charge by email or another electronic, portable, and usable format.

When you exercise your Right to Know, you may request, by category:

• The personal information collected
• The sources of personal information
• The purposes for collecting and for selling or sharing your personal information
• The third parties with whom your personal information was shared for a business purpose and the corresponding categories of personal information shared
• The categories of third parties to whom personal information was sold or shared and the corresponding personal information categories sold

Key points:

• Frequency: You may make Right to Know requests up to twice within any 12‑month period.
• Non‑discrimination: Wyndham will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, in accordance with applicable law.
• Fees: In certain jurisdictions, a nominal administrative fee may apply where permitted by law; in many cases, your copy is provided free of charge.

Verification and Authorized Agents

Identity verification

To protect your privacy, Wyndham must verify your identity before disclosing personal information. Provide your email, full name, residential address, phone number, and your Wyndham Rewards number (if applicable). Additional information may be requested if needed to complete verification.

Using an authorized agent

If you wish to designate an authorized agent (for example, an attorney or family member) to submit requests on your behalf, provide a written and signed authorization letter that includes:

• Your first and last name, residential address, email, and phone number
• Your agent’s full name, address information, and relationship to you

Mail the authorization to:

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

For fraud‑prevention, Wyndham will provide responses directly to you—first to the email address on file, or to your mailing address on file if you have no email address.
