Privacy Policy

Preamble

We hereby set out the basic principles of our privacy policy. Should you still have any concerns, you are encouraged to ask for clarifications. None of this information (your personal data) is either sold or leased by us to any third party.

Object

We collect information that you provide us at your own will, and such information does not usually go beyond the information that would be required for a direct booking with any hotel (i.e. name, full address, telephone, e-mail). Information is used by us in order to match each booking request with an individual, pass all necessary information to the hotel booked, issue an appropriate invoice and voucher, and secure payment of our services.
Other than for booking purposes, we may ask for such information in some of our pages for the purchase of other services provided or for research/marketing, communication, membership or other purposes. In case you do not wish to be included in such mailing lists, if any, you have the option not to subscribe or to unsubscribe in case of an error or in case you change your mind.
We may also use this information to contact you before or when on a trip in order to inform you on serious events.
Furthermore, when you visit our site, we may collect statistical information about your visit. This information, which does not contain any personal data, will be used in order to evaluate and improve our site and services. Information to be kept is number of visits, visitor’s IP, pages visited, keywords used for searches etc.

We use this information for statistical and marketing purposes. Cookies can also be used in order to help you fill in the forms available in our site and/or revisiting it.

Bookings on behalf of Third Parties

In cases where an individual proceeds with bookings on behalf of a third party, we assume that this person has obtained the necessary approval from the third party, and therefore we assume no liability for any unauthorized use of personal data by that person.

Our systems are protected by Digital Signatures for authentication and integrity, Certification Authority (thwate) that uniquely identifies the merchant, Secure Socket Layers (SSL) to ensure privacy and authentication, firewalls that act as shields to our computer networks from attack by viruses and hackers. Within those systems, sensitive information is encrypted to protect your personal data, like credit card numbers.
Our secure server software encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card information. The process of encryption takes the information you enter and converts it into bits of code that are securely transmitted over the Internet. This scrambled data cannot be read while travelling over the Internet.
