DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal identification information to others. We may share your personal information to the following where appropriate and necessary:

  • Our authorized personnel and officers of the hotel, member hotels of our hotel group, and our management company
  • Third party service providers involved in handling your travel-related requirements (transport and tours companies, airline and ferry companies, etc.)

  • Business partners who provide affiliate services (banks, medical service providers, insurance agencies, lawyers, auditors, etc.)
  • Local authorities and other third parties as required by law, or in connection with any legal proceedings, or at your instruction and consent

We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and our website or administer activities on our behalf, such as processing payments, sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission. These parties are contractually prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than those specified in their respective contracts.

We may also share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and website users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.

STORAGE, RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We store client information (reservation details, personal information, profiles, etc.) in our hotel property management system and customer relationship management system. Our databases are stored in a dedicated server secured by firewalls. Our website and information network undergo security scanning to reduce their vulnerability against viruses, unauthorized access, and other cyber security attacks. Whenever credit card information is shared through our third party payment gateway, this communication is made via secure SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), a protocol for encryption and secure data transfer over the internet.

All customer information including personal information and other details related to your hotel stay and travel arrangements are retained for as long as we actively provide and you avail our products and services, and we manage our relationship with you and communicate with your continued consent. We may retain documents (including digital and printed) for as long as relevant to current transactions or activities, or to the extent required by contracts or local laws and regulations, but generally not more than five (5) years. When the customer’s personal information no longer serves the purpose for which it was collected, or is no longer necessary for business or legal purposes, we take appropriate steps to delete, dispose or destroy it in a secure manner.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA

We take precautions and have reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures to protect and keep your personal information confidential. We apply appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices, and have in place security measures to prevent unauthorized access or leakage, alteration, disclosure or destruction of the personal information we collect. We regularly monitor and review our policies and procedures, systems and measures to safeguard your personal information, and comply with the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines (RA 10173).

While we employ all manner of precaution and measures to protect your personal information, the internet still imposes some degree of risk. Hence we cannot guarantee that our website and information network will never be exposed to unauthorized access and cyber security attacks, nor that the personal information we collect and store will be protected at all times from such security breach. We shall not be responsible nor liable for damages that may result from any loss, alteration or misuse of information due to such incidents. However we shall follow applicable laws and regulations surrounding an unlikely event of security breach and notify you of any unauthorized disclosure of personal information.

YOUR PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances and where applicable by law, you have certain rights to your personal information, which include: the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information; to correct, delete or block (restrict) the processing of your personal information; and to receive the personal information you provide to us with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and to transmit this to another entity.

Please note that these rights are not absolute, and the rights of a third party (including our rights) may restrict your right to access. Your right to delete or block information may also be limited where required by law to keep or with compelling legitimate reasons to keep.

You have the right to object the processing of your personal information in some circumstances (where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with our Data Privacy Officer.

Should you have any queries about our Privacy Policy, or to exercise your rights, you may contact our Data Privacy Officer at [email protected]. Please note that we may request a copy of a valid identification document to confirm your identity before any transaction regarding your personal data.
