2. Personal data

Hotel Tourist Inn processes different types of personal data for different purposes. Below, it will be explained which personal data and purposes these relate to.

Guest administration

For (booking) an overnight stay in one of our accommodations, the hotel requires your name, address, place of residence, telephone number, day of departure and arrival and payment details. We may receive these data from third parties, with whom you have completed the booking process. If necessary, we may ask you for additional personal details for the execution of our services, such as your nationality or guest preferences. We only process health data on the basis of your authorisation in order to provide you with a better service, for example by offering access to the disabled. In addition, we are legally obliged to check your identity. We will do this on site at the hotel on the basis of an identity document that you have presented. We do not make a copy thereof. These data are only used internally and are not passed on to other organisations for commercial purposes.

Camera surveillance

Hotel Tourist Inn makes use of camera surveillance to the extent necessary to secure its property and protect its guests. By means of the camera images, Hotel Tourist Inn gains insight into the activities of persons.

Commercial and (Direct) Marketing

To make offers that may interest you, we collect commercially attractive information about individuals, such as demographic information, and we may collect information about you from third parties, including information from our partners and social media sites in accordance with your settings on such websites. We also collect information about (potential) suppliers. This information is carefully organised and stored in a database that is only accessible to authorised employees. We do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests.

Social media

Hotel Tourist Inn can be found on social media, such as on LinkedIn and Facebook. We may use your personal data when you use functions on these websites and/or apps, such as a "Linkedin-like". If such a function is used by you, we may obtain your personal data through our social media in question, such as your IP number, browser data and LinkedIn login data.

Application procedure

Hotel Tourist Inn collects and processes data from applicants by means of personal contacts, by mail, by e-mail and/or telephone conversations. We collect, among other things, the name, gender, contact details, motivation letters, information about the level of education and the job history of the applicant. These data are relevant to the completion of the application procedure and will be removed no later than 4 weeks after the end of the procedure. If you give permission thereto, Hotel Tourist Inn may store your personal data longer in its administration, so that you may be contacted again in the future. 

Employees

Hotel Tourist Inn also processes personal data of employees in the framework of the labour contract and on legal bases. For information on the processing of personal data of employees, reference is made to the personnel policy. 

3. Recipients

We do not share your personal data with companies, organisations and individuals outside Hotel Tourist Inn, except in any of the following circumstances.

Execution of an agreement

Disclosure of your personal data to third parties is permissible when this is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you. Part thereof is processing your reservation. If it is necessary for the payment of bookings, we use a third party for the handling of the payments. 

With your authorisation

With your authorisation we may pass on your personal data to other parties. Such authorisation is only valid if it is clear what you authorise and what the consequences are. 

For external processing

We disclose personal data to our partners so that they can process data for us, based on our instructions and in accordance with our privacy policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We understand our partners to mean, among others, our IT suppliers and manager of the CRM system.

For legal reasons

We share personal data if we believe that disclosure of the data is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations, legal procedures or requests from government authorities. 

Legal obligation

If any legal obligation so requires, we will disclose your personal data. For example, it is possible that the police requests information from us in the scope of fraud investigations. Another example is that under Article 47 of the General Law on State Taxes, the tax inspector may claim all information necessary to levy taxes. The local authority as well may request the disclosure of data to check the tourist tax. Hotel Tourist Inn makes arrangements with the recipients of your personal data to ensure that the personal data are handled confidentially and are protected. 

Your information

Hotel Tourist Inn will only store and use information that you provide us or that has been provided to us to conclude a contract with you, and to inform you of other services and offers that we make available from time to time. If you do not wish to receive such information, please let us know by sending an e-mail to: info@tourist-inn.com.

Retention period

We do not store your personal data longer than necessary, unless we are legally obliged to keep your personal data longer. Our basic principle is that we only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with our products and/or services. We will then remove your personal data to the extent possible. For example, if you have provided your e-mail address so that we can keep you informed of our services, we will still keep your data for that purpose. 

4. Transmission of personal data outside the EU

Hotel Tourist Inn may transmit your personal data from the Netherlands to other countries. Countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) have the same level of protection of personal data as the Netherlands. With due observance of the general requirements from privacy laws and regulations, we may pass on your personal data. We may do this, for example, within our group for the benefit of good business operations. 

Outside the EEA, we will only pass on your personal data if there is an appropriate level of protection. For this purpose, Hotel Tourist Inn makes use of model contracts approved by the European Commission. We will in particular pass on your personal data to branches within our concern for our internal operations.
