2. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

The data subject has the right:
- to ask the Data Controller to access their personal data and correct or delete it or to limit the processing of personal data concerning them and to object to its processing;
- if the processing is carried out by automated (computerised) means and on the basis of their consent, to receive in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format personal data concerning them and/or to have it transmitted to another data controller, if technically feasible;
- to withdraw their consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on their consent before the withdrawal), which is obviously the case for processing carried out on that basis;
- to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority: Piazza Venezia 11, IT-00187, Rome - Telephone number: (+39) 06.696771 - Email address: [email protected] - certified email address [email protected]
To exercise their rights, Guests can contact [email protected] or the Director of the accommodation facility where they are staying or have stayed, who can be contacted at reception or using the contact details already known to the data subjects, bearing in mind that it will not be possible to respond to requests where the identity of the applicant is uncertain.

THE FOLLOWING DATA MAY BE PROCESSED

- Data provided by the guest or by a third party acting on their behalf, including through the entity (travel agency, company, association, other) that organised the guest's stay at our facilities or offered them the opportunity to stay there (e.g.: personal details, details of an identity document, personal details of companions, particular requests to satisfy special needs of the guest or of a companion);
- data relating to the guest's stay in our facilities (period and times of stay, room/villa/facility occupied or reserved, reservations);
- data relating to the services requested or used (phone calls made, minibar, alarm clock, additional services provided by associated companies or other suppliers, etc.);
- data that originate during the course of the stay in our facilities (guest's special needs dealt with by staff responsible for meeting them, requests and bookings made at or through reception, etc.);
- in certain cases known to the data subject, data relating to the entity (travel agency, company, association, other) that organised the stay at our facilities or offered them the opportunity to stay there;
- data that may have been acquired on satisfaction questionnaires or during telephone interviews, again aimed at assessing satisfaction levels;
- if the wifi Internet access service is used: browsing times, data volume, IP address from which browsing has taken place, potentially data relating to sites visited and online activities associated with the IP address used by the guest (browsing log). More specifically:
- the aforementioned data will be stored for 6 months and will remain available to the Police Authorities to whom they may be communicated in connection with activities related to the prevention or prosecution of offences;
- may be associated with the guest exclusively through specific procedures that will be activated only upon request of the competent Authority;
- in the event of payment by credit card or cheque, a photocopy of the identity document may be requested and obtained to ensure the Customer is correctly identified, and unless otherwise required it will be retained until payment has been successfully made and the time limit to lodge any disputes has passed.
It should be remembered that the legislation establishes specific protections for “special categories of data” [article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 includes in special categories “personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation”]. Normally, the systematic processing of such categories of data is not foreseen, however this could be necessary in the context of some services requested by the data subject regarding which the latter spontaneously communicates such data; in relation to this point, special care is taken to acquire data only and to carry out only those processing operations that are necessary to meet legitimate requests from the data subjects and only if relevant and necessary in relation to the purposes laid forth below.

4. SOURCE OF DATA

Data collection and updating are mainly carried out by the data subject or by individuals acting on their behalf (e.g. companions, family members, travel agencies, tour operators, associations, etc.) or by sources freely accessible to anyone, except for data relating to services requested/used, which originate during the stay.

5. WHY DATA IS PROCESSED

The necessary processing only will be carried out in relation to the purposes listed below, for each of which the “legal basis” that makes it possible is indicated in brackets [the “legal bases” are the conditions that make a purpose lawful according to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, and are listed in article 6(1) and for special categories of data in article 9(c) 2]:

In this regard, it is noted that paragraph 4 of article 130 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003 allows the email address provided by the data subject to be used for this purpose when purchasing products or services, provided that the data subject does not refuse such use [legal basis: legitimate interest involving processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, always taking into account the data subject's reasonable expectations based on their relationship with the Data Controller [article 6(1)(f)] - Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, article 130(4)].

6. HOW DATA IS PROCESSED AND HOW LONG IT IS STORED

The processing of personal data may take place using paper and/or computerised tools chosen in accordance with functionality, safety, effectiveness and speed criteria in the ongoing search to provide the best standard of service and protection for Guests, always guaranteeing the utmost confidentiality, relevance and limitation (collectively: data minimisation) with respect to the purposes described above.

10. DISCLOSURE

The data in question will not be disclosed. However, it is important to remember that the facility has many common areas where guests or visitors take video or photo shoots in which other guests or visitors may appear; these are intended for publication, for example, on social media channels or websites.

11. USE OF IMAGES

With the consent of the data subjects (obtained during the promoted initiatives and/or directly during check-in) photographs and/or films may be taken portraying and reproducing the face and/or person and/or voice of guests. Such recordings, mainly photographic, may be:

IN NO EVENT will the images and recordings be used in contexts that jeopardise the personal dignity and reputation of the subjects

12. WHEN IS IT MANDATORY TO COMMUNICATE YOUR DATA

The communication of your data is:
- mandatory to the extent necessary for the processing referred to in letters a) and b) of the previous point 3 and any failure to provide them shall render it impossible to execute the contract;
- obviously optional in reference to the other items in the previous point 3, and in the absence of such data there will be no consequences except the impossibility of serving the guest in the best possible way.
It is important to specify that most of the treatments carried out are not subject to the obligation to obtain consent, except in the cases already mentioned or in the case of data processing details, also carried out at the guest's request.

13. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

The possible presence of a video surveillance system is duly signalled by specific notices displayed in the monitored areas, which also indicate whether a video recording system is present. The images can be viewed in real time by reception and security staff in order to guarantee the necessary assistance and promptly identify any risk situations for the safety of guests; more specifically, the systems can be installed for the following purposes:
> supporting staff in security and access control activities
> preventing possible damage, theft or unauthorised removal of goods
> ensuring the safety of staff and guests by enabling the detection of particularly dangerous situations, incidents or accidents
> identifying the most suitable form of intervention, allowing it to be measured in the event of particularly dangerous situations, incidents or accidents
> allowing the dynamics of significant events to be reconstructed for the purposes of protecting personal safety or in the event of illicit acts committed against Guests and/or the facility and its staff.
In addition to the above, any video recordings produced by the system which are periodically deleted in full compliance with the legislation on privacy protection, may be used:
> to comply with instructions issued by the Judicial Authority and/or the Judicial Police;
> to assert or defend a right, even on behalf of a third party;
> possibly to complete documentation accompanying accident reports forwarded to insurance companies.
The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller corresponding to the declared purposes.
