They will be acting as a data controller of your information and we therefore advise you to read their Privacy Policy. These third-party product providers will share required information about you with us (e.g. room type purchased and dates of stay) that we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We are also required to keep certain information in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Genesta Athenaeum LLP carries out automated processing.
We will combine any personal information about you that we receive from you, from other hotels in our group, and from third-parties in order to create marketing profiles.
Marketing profiles include personal information such as information about services you have used, information about when you have visited our hotels in the past, demographic data and, where you have agreed, data from your social media profiles.
For example, we may analyse the personal information of people who have used our services in the past and then compare them with other people in our database. If we identify people in our database who have similar personal information, we may then target marketing to those people, for example by sending direct marketing emails. We may conduct the profiling and marketing automatically.
We conduct these automated decision-making and profiling activities for our legitimate interests in providing the services and ensuring they operate in a commercially suitable way which is tailored to your use and interests.
Under data protection law you have certain rights in relation to the personal information that we hold about you. You may exercise these rights at any time by contacting us using the details set out in section 8.

However, we will always respond to any request you make and if we can’t comply with your request, we will tell you why.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons. We will notify you of these, if applicable, at the time of your request |
· Object to the processing of your personal information ► |

· Withdraw consent at any time ► |
Where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time.
Please note that for some purposes, we need your consent in order to provide you with a service. If you withdraw your consent, we may need to cancel your reservation, booking or service. We will advise you of this at the point you seek to withdraw your consent. |
· The right to lodge a complaint with the ICO ► |
You have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe that any use of your personal information by us is in breach of applicable data protection laws and regulations. More information can be found on the Information Commissioner’s Office website: https://ico.org.uk/
Making a complaint will not affect any other legal rights or remedies that you have. |
