We make no decisions which might have a significant impact on you, including profiling, under automated procedures (decision-making procedures conducted through use of a computerised system without human intervention).

When and how we share or disclose any Personal Data we receive with/to third parties

In the context of our operations and with a view to meeting our contractual and legal obligations for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose certain personal data to third parties, including to credit institutions, tax authorities, accounting offices, travel agents, suppliers, associated private insurers, physicians, attorneys, health care providers, maintenance service providers, other service providers, etc. or to such other parties as may need to gain knowledge of your data in order to comply with any regulatory or legal obligations.

Specific categories of data may be disclosed to your relatives with your prior consent or in case of an emergency.

In addition to the above, we shall not share your personal data with any third parties, save where we bear a statutory obligation in this regard or where such disclosure is necessary in order to meet any contractual or legal obligations (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities or the police, or for compliance with audit requirements).

The Hotel shall under no circumstances sell your personal data to third parties or allow any third parties to sell any data which is forwarded to them by the Hotel.

We work together with third parties (such as booking.com or Web Hotelier and the Channel Managers) to offer you online booking services. All content posted on those websites is supplied from us and you are able to make reservations directly with us; however, bookings are subject to processing by third parties. Any data you provide to such third parties is stored in one or more databases that are hosted by them. Such third parties do not use or access your personal data for any purposes other than to manage reservations.

Data Retention Period

We shall retain your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, insofar as this is necessary to perform our contractual and legal obligations, unless a longer retention period is prescribed or permitted under the law or a User requests their data’s withdrawal or opposes or revokes their consent.

The data retention period is defined among others on the basis of the following criteria:

• The time period for which we maintain a business relationship with you and provide you with our Services;

• If erasure is imperative for reasons of compliance with any statutory requirements;
• At your request, as long as there are no compelling legal reasons dictating their retention.

Your data shall be safely destroyed when it is no longer necessary. We may need to keep certain financial information for legitimate purposes (e.g. for accounting purposes).
