Wyndham is the largest hotel franchisor in the world by property count and owns almost none of them. More than 8,300 hotels operate under 25 brands, so the entity that actually holds your check-in data, your card imprint and your room-key access log is an independent small-business franchisee whose security posture Wyndham does not control and you cannot evaluate. The corporate privacy notice describes the franchisor. It does not describe the motel.

Terms
Arbitration
Arbitration provisions apply to the Wyndham Rewards programme and website use; opt-out mechanics not confirmed this pass.
Data sharing
Wyndham Rewards ties stay history, room preferences, payment card type and co-guest names to a member profile shared across 8,300+ hotels and 20+ brands (Days Inn, Super 8, Ramada, La Quinta, Travelodge, Howard Johnson, Microtel). Privacy notices are published per-brand rather than once, so the document governing your stay depends which sign was on the building.
Fees and billing
Resort fees and destination fees are charged at the property, not by the franchisor, and are a recurring subject of state attorney general action across the sector.
