Hammerco intends to file a proposed class proceeding on behalf of Canadian residents whose personal information may have been affected by the recently disclosed data breach by Marriott Hotels.
The Marriott says up to half a billion people who stayed at Starwood hotels between 2014 and 2018 may have had their personal information stolen. Marriott says hotels owned by the Starwood chain are affected. Those include:
- W Hotels
- St. Regis
- Sheraton Hotels & Resorts
- Westin Hotels & Resorts
- Element Hotels
- Aloft Hotels
- The Luxury Collection
- Tribute Portfolio
- Le Meridien Hotels & Resorts
- Four Points by Sheraton and Design Hotels
- Starwood-branded timeshare properties
Marriott says its own Marriott-branded hotels are not impacted because they use a different software system that wasn’t breached. However, anyone who stayed at a Starwood-owned hotel between 2014 and September 2018 may have had their data stolen. Canadian locations would be included.
