11. JURISDICTION

The relationships established between GARDEN HOTELS and the User will be governed by the provisions of the current regulations regarding applicable law and competent jurisdiction. However, in cases where the regulations provide for the possibility of the parties submitting to a jurisdiction, GARDEN HOTELS and the User, expressly waiving any other jurisdiction that might correspond to them, submit to the Courts and Tribunals that, by rotation or due to the subject matter, are competent for the judicial district of Inca (Illes Balears).

12. - PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION.

GARDEN HOTELS ensures compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 as well as Organic Law 3/2018 on Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights, in relation to the processing of personal data that the user must provide prior to using any of the services offered.

Given that the current risk management system distinguishes three stages: identification, assessment, and treatment, it is therefore essential to properly define the processing activities. This task, as established in article 30 of Regulation 2016/679, is carried out by analyzing the following aspects:

Purpose of Processing

Based on User's requests, the personal data provided through the website, and any other data that may be provided to Garden Hotels in the future through the Accommodation Agreement or any other enabled means, will be processed by Garden Hotels for the following purposes:

  • Manage made reservations, including payment management (if applicable) and handling requests and preferences.
  • Manage subscription to the newsletter and subsequent sending of the same.
  • Manage enrollment in the Garden Direct program.
  • Handle contact requests with Garden Hotels through the provided channels.
  • Manage the sending of personalized commercial communications from the Garden Group, through electronic and/or conventional means, in cases where the User expressly consents.
  • Manage the provision of contracted accommodation services, as well as additional stay services.
  • Manage the conduction of surveys and/or evaluations related to the quality of services provided by Garden Hotels and/or the perception of its image as a company.

In cases where it is necessary to process User data to comply with a legal obligation or for the execution of the existing contractual relationship between Garden Hotels and the User, the processing would be legitimized as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes. On the other hand, the processing carried out for conducting surveys and/or evaluations related to the quality of services provided by Garden Hotels and/or the perception of its image as a company will be based on the legitimate interest of the responsible party.

Categories of Data Subjects

Individuals with whom a commercial relationship is intended or maintained as guests of Garden Hotels' hotel establishments.

Categories of Personal Data

Garden Hotels may process the following categories of data, depending on the User's request:

  • Identifying data: name, surname
  • Contact data: postal address, mobile phone, email address.
  • Personal characteristic data: date of birth, gender, nationality.
  • Preference data.
  • Data necessary for payment of the reservation or to guarantee the same, as well as for payment of the stay or associated services.

Transfers

Except as required by a judicial or administrative authority, the only envisaged transfers are in the following cases:

  • Participating companies or companies within the Garden Hotels business group, solely for internal administrative purposes and/or for the previously mentioned purposes.
  • Operating entities of hotels managed by Garden Hotels or under franchise, solely for internal administrative purposes and/or for the previously mentioned purposes.
  • Suppliers of Garden Hotels or hotel operating entities necessary for the proper fulfillment of legal obligations and/or the previously mentioned purposes.
  • Partners and collaborating companies of the Garden Group for the fulfillment of the previously mentioned purposes and/or, if authorized, for sending commercial communications, marketing campaigns, promotions, and advertising of company products.

International Data Transfers

The recipients indicated in the previous section may be located within or outside the European Economic Area, with international data transfers properly legitimized in the latter case.

Outside of the aforementioned scenario, no type of transfer to countries outside the European Union is foreseen.

Retention Period

Data will be retained for the period necessary to fulfill each purpose or until the communication of the intent to revoke the granted consent, through the exercise of cancellation rights as specified in the owner's authorization.

Security and Organizational Measures

Garden Hotels will treat User data at all times in an absolutely confidential manner and maintaining the obligatory duty of secrecy concerning them, in accordance with the applicable regulations. The necessary technical and organizational measures will be adopted to ensure the security of the data and prevent their alteration, loss, processing, or unauthorized access, taking into account the state of technology, the nature of the stored data, and the risks to which they are exposed.

Exercise of Rights

By law, the user has the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and objection, if applicable, regarding their personal data. These rights can be exercised in writing directed to the address indicated in the First Clause, concerning Identifying Data, of this document.

And in any case, if deemed appropriate, a complaint can be filed with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
