Introduction
Asian Hospitality ("AH", "we", "our", or "us"), operated by Asian Media Group USA Inc with its registered office at 2020 Beaver Ruin Road Norcross, GA 30071-3710 is committed to protecting your privacy and forms a part of our Website Terms & Conditions. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with U.S. privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, FTC guidelines, and relevant state statutes.
This policy applies to all personal data processed by Asian Hospitality on our digital platforms, including websites, newsletters and promotional communications.
Your Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using our site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please discontinue use of our site and services. Continued use of the platform after updates to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
Definitions
“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked with a particular user or household. Under California law (CCPA §1798.140(o)), it includes but is not limited to:
- Identifiers (e.g., name, postal address, email address, IP address, device identifiers)
- Protected classification characteristics (e.g., age, gender, race)
- Commercial information (e.g., purchase history, browsing history, product preferences)
- Internet or network activity (e.g., search history, website interactions)
- Geolocation data (e.g., physical location)
- Sensory data (e.g., audio, electronic information)
- Professional or employment‑related information
- Inferences drawn from any of the above to create a profile about a consumer’s preferences, behavior, or characteristics.
“Sale” and “Share” have the meanings given in CCPA/CPRA §1798.140(aa) and §1798.140(ak) respectively. Even where no monetary exchange occurs, transferring Personal Information to a third party for cross‑context behavioral advertising constitutes a “sale” or “share.”
“Service Providers” or “Processors” are third parties who process Personal Information on our behalf under contract and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than those specified by AH.
“Consumer” refers to any natural person who is a California resident/other acting in an individual user or household context.
How to Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing of Your Personal Information
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. This includes transfers of data for purposes such as cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted marketing, even when no money is exchanged.

Privacy Notice for Non-U.S. Residents
If you live outside the United States, including in the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), or other countries with strong privacy laws, please note that Asian Hospitality is based in the United States. When you use our website, subscribe to our emails, or attend one of our events, your personal information may be collected, stored, and processed in the United States or in other countries that may have different privacy protections from your country.
Depending on the laws in your country, you have rights such as:
- Seeing what personal information, we have about you
- Correcting any wrong or outdated information
- Asking us to delete your personal information
- Asking us to stop using your information in certain ways
- Taking back any permission, you previously gave us
- Asking to transfer your data to another service
You may also have the right to file a complaint with your country’s privacy regulator if you believe we have not handled your information properly.
To keep your information protected when it is sent outside your country, such as from the EU or UK to the United States, we use legal agreements called Standard Contractual Clauses. These are designed to keep your personal information safe even when it is transferred across borders.
We will do our best to respond to your request quickly and clearly. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we make changes to or share any information.
How We Protect Your Information
At Asian Hospitality, we use a combination of technical, physical, and organizational safeguards to ensure that your data is kept secure, confidential, and protected against misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or loss.
We apply security practices that are appropriate for the type of information we collect, and the risks involved in our operations. These security measures are regularly reviewed, tested, and updated to meet current industry standards and legal obligations.
We use technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These include:
- HTTPS/SSL encryption for secure communication
- Secure server environments and firewalls
- Regular patching and security updates
- Access controls based on roles
- Security awareness training for staff
- Daily backups and data integrity monitoring
In the event of a data breach involving personal information, we will notify affected individuals in accordance with U.S. breach notification laws.
Please note: No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While Asian Hospitality ("AH") strives to protect your personal information using industry-standard safeguards, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to maintain its security within our systems through rigorous protective measures.
California “Shine the Light” Privacy Rights
In accordance with California law, residents have the right to request that their personal information not be disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Asian Hospitality does not typically share personal information in this manner. However, if such sharing does occur, such as the use of your email address for promotional activities that may fall within the scope of this law, you have the right to opt out at any time. You can do this by selecting the Your Privacy Choices link located in the footer of our website.
Social Media and Third-Party Platforms
When you interact with Asian Hospitality through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), or LinkedIn, we may receive information that you share publicly or permit the platform to share with us. This may include your name, email address, profile image, engagement activity, and general demographic data.
If you log in to our services using a third-party account, we may receive basic account details to verify your identity. You can manage these connections through your settings on the third-party platform.
Email Addresses and Mailing Lists
We collect email addresses to send newsletters, editorial updates, event information, offers from trusted partners, and service-related messages. This data is gathered only when voluntarily provided by you, such as through sign-up forms, registrations, downloads, or direct contact.
Your email address is never sold, rented, or traded. If you register for a co-hosted event or download sponsored content, we may share your information with the relevant partner. But only with prior notice and the option to decline.
You can manage your email preferences at any time. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also contact us to update or remove your details.
Do Not Track (DNT) Settings
Some web browsers let you enable a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature, which tells websites and online services that you prefer not to be tracked across different websites or online platforms. However, at this time, there is no standard way for websites to respond to these signals.
Because of this, Asian Hospitality does not currently respond to DNT signals or alter how your data is collected when DNT is enabled. That said, we respect your privacy preferences, and you have other options to control how data is collected while using our website.
Children’s Privacy and Minor Content Removal
Asian Hospitality is for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you're under 18, please don’t submit any details or sign up for our services. Parents who believe their child has shared information with us can contact us for review and deletion under COPPA.
If you're under 18 and live in California, you can request removal of any content you posted by emailing us with the subject “Minor Content Removal Request,” including the content link, your name, and a statement confirming you're under 18 and the original poster. Full removal may not be possible in all cases.
