Privacy Policy

Welcome to our Privacy Policy

1 Introduction
We use your personal information in order to fulfil our commitment to providing an unparalleled guest experience in connection with all of your interactions with our site (the “Purpose”). As part of that undertaking, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the personal information that we gather.

As one of our guests or someone else with whom we do business, we collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy for Guests (this “Policy”).

2 The Application of this Policy
This Policy applies to personal information regarding guests and the other individuals from the European Union, United Kingdom and Switzerland with whom we do business and to the use of that personal information in any form, whether oral, electronic and/or written.

This Policy gives effect to our commitment to protect your personal information and has been adopted by all of the separate and distinct legal entities that manage, operate, franchise, license, own and/or provide services to the various locations operating under or in connection with our brands

While this Policy is intended to describe the broadest range of our personal information processing activities globally, those processing activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the restrictions of their laws. For example, the laws of a particular country/region may limit the types of personal information we can collect or the manner in which we process that personal information. In those instances, we adjust our internal policies and/or practices to reflect the requirements of local law.

3 Types of Personal Information We Collect
The term “personal information” in this Policy refers to information that identifies or is capable of identifying you as an individual. The types of personal information that we process (which may vary by jurisdiction based on applicable law) include:

your name, gender, personal and work contact details, business title, date and place of birth,nationality, and passport.
guest stay information dates of arrival and departure, goods and services utilised, special requests made, observations about your service preferences (including room and vacation preferences), telephone numbers dialed and faxes, texts and telephone messages received;
your credit card details, payment method details and your guest program and any frequent flyer or travel partner program;
any information necessary to fulfil special requests (e.g., health conditions that require specific accommodation or services);
information, feedback or content you provide regarding your marketing preferences, in surveys, sweepstakes, contests or promotional offers, or to our websites or apps and those of third parties;
information collected whilst at our hotel Location through the use of closed circuit television systems, internet systems (including wired or wireless networks that collect data about your computer, smart or mobile device, or your location), card key and other security and technology systems;
information collected whilst you access our website (we describe this in more detail in Sections 7 and 8 below);
contact and other relevant details concerning the employees of corporate accounts and vendors and other individuals with whom we do business (e.g., travel agents or meeting and event planners); and in limited cases, information relating to the credit of customers.

Much of the personal information we process is information that you or someone acting on your behalf knowingly provides to us. However, in other instances, we process personal information that we are able to infer about you based on other information you provide to us or during our interactions with you, or personal information about you that we receive from a third party (such as your travel agent, airline, employer (where your employer books travel for you), or your third party card or loyalty scheme provider). This Policy also applies to the personal information about you that we receive from a third party, unless specifically covered by such third party’s privacy policy.

There may be instances in which the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect is considered Sensitive Personal Information under the privacy laws of some countries or regions. Those laws define “Sensitive Personal Information” to mean personal information from which we can determine or infer an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, membership in a trade union or professional association, physical or mental health or condition, medical treatment, genetic data, biometric information, and information about an individual’s sexual life or sexual orientation. In some very rare instances, financial records may constitute Sensitive Personal Information where you are located. If we rely on consent to process your Sensitive Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. We only process Sensitive Personal Information in your jurisdiction if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

Save to the extent required by law, you are not obliged to provide us with any of your Sensitive Personal Information, and should you choose not to, this will not prevent you from purchasing any products or services from us.

4 How We Use Personal Information

Subject to applicable laws, we may collect, use and disclose portions of your personal information in order to:
provide and charge for hotel accommodation and other goods and services;
provide you with a better or more personalized level of service, including information and services from a third party (such as additional guest services at our otels and resorts, local attractions and transportation options);
facilitate services on your behalf, including restaurant and transportation transactions;
administer our frequent guest program if available.
fulfil contractual obligations to you, anyone involved in the process of making your travel arrangements (e.g., travel agents, group travel organizers or your employer) and vendors (e.g., credit card companies, airline operators and third party loyalty programs);
conduct market research, customer satisfaction and quality assurance surveys, and direct marketing and sales promotions (although please see Section 9 below for more information about how we conduct direct marketing);
provide for the safety and security of staff, guests and other visitors;
administer general record keeping;
meet legal and regulatory requirements;
test and evaluate new products and services; and
process credit applications
When we process your personal information as one of our guests or someone else with whom we do business, we do so in our legitimate interests (as detailed above), because of legal obligations we are subject to or because the information is required to fulfil contractual obligations to you, anyone involved in making your travel arrangements (e.g., travel agents, group travel organizers or your employer) and vendors (e.g., credit card companies, airline operators and third party loyalty programs).

We use and retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is being processed, and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations and risk management guidelines. For example, reservation records are retained for a period of five (5) years following the year in which the reservation was made, and sales contracts are retained for a period of Statute of Limitations plus ten (10) years. Personal information in records may be maintained for longer periods if subject to a legal hold or specific country/region requirement.

5 Disclosures of your Personal Information
From time to time, we may disclose your personal information. We would always make that disclosure in accordance with applicable law.

Circumstances where we might make such disclosure (in addition to those described in Section 4 above) include:

5.1 Our Agents, Service Providers and Suppliers
Like most hotel brands, we may outsource the processing of certain functions and/or information to third parties. When we do outsource the processing of your personal information to third parties or provide your personal information to third-party service providers, we oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. A list of the categories of third party agents, service providers and suppliers to which your information may be transferred may be found here.

5.2 Consumer Insights
Where we hold personal information about you, we may disclose this personal information to other companies that also hold information about you. These companies may combine the information in order to better understand your preferences and interests, thereby enabling them and us to serve you better. If your personal information is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to that by contacting us using the contact information provided under Section 12 below. Further information about how we conduct direct marketing may be found at Section 9 below.

5.3 Credit Authorization
When you request credit, your personal information will be used and disclosed to appropriate third parties in accordance with applicable laws for the purpose of determining whether to grant and maintain a line of credit to you.

5.4 Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell hotels and other assets, or cease being the manager or franchisor of a location. In those circumstances, we may include the personal information collected about you, or control of that personal information, as a business asset in any such transfer. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, personal information collected about you, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets.
Once the personal information is transferred to the credit card network operator, credit card issuer, your employer or corporate client and/or their respective subcontractors, it is no longer subject to the protections described in this Policy, but rather your own arrangements with your employer or corporate client, the relevant credit card network operator and/or the relevant card issuer.

5.6 Legal Requirements
We reserve the right to disclose any personal information we have concerning you if we are compelled to do so by a court of law or lawfully requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we determine it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our rights or property in accordance with applicable laws. We also reserve the right to retain personal information collected and to process such personal information to comply with accounting and tax rules and regulations and any specific record retention laws.

6 International Transfers of Personal Information
Like most international businesses, we have centralized certain aspects of our data processing activities in accordance with applicable laws, which, in many instances, will result in the transfer of your personal information from one country to another. Nevertheless, whenever your personal information is transferred within companies, your personal information will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy and applicable laws.
Additionally, some of the third party suppliers to which we transfer your personal information may be based in different locations, some of which may have lower standards of data protection than in your home country. When we do transfer personal information to such third parties, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, and oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. These third parties broadly fall into two groups: (i) locally-provided suppliers supporting individual Locations or groups of Locations, who may operate in any of the countries in which our hotel Locations operate; or (ii) centrally-procured service providers, supporting our as a whole, who may be located in our major business locations.

In some jurisdictions, in addition to you agreeing to this Policy, data privacy laws may require us to obtain a separate consent before we send you information that you have not specifically requested. In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied (e.g., where communications are required in order to fulfil your requests and/or where you have volunteered information for use by us).

We will abide by any request from you not to send you direct marketing materials. When such a request is received, your contact details will be “suppressed” rather than deleted. This will ensure that your request is recorded and retained unless you provide a later consent that overrides it.
