5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may have to share your personal data with the categories of parties set out below for the purposes set out above.

  • Other companies in the Leonardo Hotels group and Fattal Hotels Group based within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, United Kingdom, or Israel involved in providing services to you, whether directly or for providing underlying infrastructure services on our behalf and instruction.

External third parties, including:

  • Business partners, suppliers, and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you; these include contractors who provide services to you in their own name such as the third-party provider offering Wi-Fi services, as well as our other providers acting as processor on our behalf and as instructed by us (such as the providers of our IT and CCTV infrastructure).
  • Analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our services and website (as processor acting on our behalf and as instructed by us).
  • Professional advisers, including lawyers, banks, auditors, and insurers.
  • Tax and customs authorities, public registry authorities, regulators and other authorities.
  • Entities involved in credit checking and anti-fraud activities, crime prevention/detection, risk assessment and management and dispute resolution.

Where these third parties are our processors, we require them to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party processors to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. Some of the third parties mentioned above, for example many professional advisers and authorities, are controllers who, like us, are subject to specific obligations under data protection law, and who will have their own privacy statements setting out how they deal with personal data.
 

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We share your personal data within the Leonardo Hotels group. All companies in the Group are currently based in the European Economic Area (EEA), and in countries that have been recognised by the European Commission to offer an adequate level of data protection (notably the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Israel).

Though we do not seek actively to transfer personal data outside the EEA or countries with an adequate data protection, some of the external third parties we deal with are based outside the EEA or process personal data outside the EEA, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we look to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • Transferring your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission (as set out above, this especially applies to Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Israel).
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. We do this for example in connection with our providers for booking through travel agents in the US.

Please Contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
 

7. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Processors we appoint will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
 

8. DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
 

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws regarding your personal data. You can:

  • Request access of your personal data
  • Request correction of your personal data
  • Request erasure of your personal data
  • Object to processing of your personal data
  • Request restriction of processing your personal data
  • Request transfer of your personal data
  • Right to withdraw consent

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please Contact us via privacy@leonardo-hotels.nl or privacy@leonardo-hotels.be

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to enable us to deal with your request or to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or we have received several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on our legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
     
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following situations:
  1. if you want us to establish the accuracy of your data;
  2. where our use of your data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
  3. where you need us to hold your data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  4. you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
     
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
