Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” above), in the United States, and other countries.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable law.

European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses:

We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Data Processing Agreements that include Standard Contractual Clauses are available here: https://www.hotel4u.info/data-processing-agreement.

We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy policy.

No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

10. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short:  We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.

Your Right What This Means
Right To Withdraw Consent If we are processing your Personal Data on the legal basis of consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time. However, the withdrawal of consent would not invalidate any processing we carried out prior to your withdrawal based on your consent.

You can also ask that we provide additional information, including what Personal Data we have and why we have it, who we disclose it to (including any international transfers outside the EEA), how long we keep it, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint to the supervisory authority, where we obtained your Personal Data, and whether we have carried out any automated decision-making as further described below.

●       To comply with a legal obligation; or

Right to Restriction of Processing You can ask that we restrict your Personal Data (i.e., keep but not use) where:

●       The processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract with you

You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.

 

Automated Decision Making You have a right not to be subjected to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you other than where the decision is:

●       Necessary for entering into a contract, or for performing a contract with you (e.g., your policy of insurance);

●       Based on your explicit consent – which you may withdraw at any time; or

●       Is authorized by EU or Member State law.

Right to Complain If you are not satisfied with our use of your Personal Data or our response to any request made by you to exercise any of your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the local data protection supervisory authority at any time.

If you are a resident in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

We will only use the personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.

We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
