services.
Other uses include processing payments, verifying creditworthiness if applicable, opening and managing

service, meet regulatory requirements, and enrolling you in a loyalty program in cases in which you clearly
outlined your consent orally or in writing.

In many cases, we collect personal information directly from you when you visit our premises, make a reservation, use our services, make a complaint, submit an inquiry, contact us in person or through our websites, and use our websites to log in to our Wi-Fi network. You will therefore know when we collect this information. We also may receive personal information about you from third party intermediaries and service providers when you make your reservation through them, from our customers, such as your employer or from any other third party through which your visit at our hotel is administered or organized (for instance if you attend a conference organized by a professional association), but at all times, with your prior consent and/or as authorized by law either orally or in writing, before or at the time of collection, unless the purpose for the collection is obvious and is done so voluntarily by you.

We may collect information such as your name, contact information, email address, payment information, gender, date and place of birth, home address, telephone number, language preference, membership or loyalty program information, employer details, travel itinerary, prior stays, stay preferences, and other similar type of information in relation to your reservation or under your broader hotel stay, including the use of onsite outlets such as restaurants, concierge services, health clubs and spas, only in cases in which these hotel amenities are run and maintained by hotel staff. If hotel amenities are run by third parties, we recommend that you check their privacy policy if applicable. We usually collect this personal information to provide you with our products and services or to provide you with the information requested or to contact you to answer your questions, requests or inquires or to administer the contest or promotions which you have entered. In applicable cases, we also collect information related to the security of the premises and well-being of our guests, such as companion information, and names and ages of accompanying children.
- Customers, suppliers and other business partners, as individuals. We may collect the name, address, telephone numbers (office, cell), email addresses, and in certain circumstances, personal information collected in the context of a background check (such as employment records, credit records and criminal records) from employees of our customers, suppliers or business partners. We collect this personal information to evaluate and select customers, suppliers and other business partners, to initiate orders, process payments, establish and maintain responsible business relations, provide ongoing service and manage risk.
