    SENSITIVE INFORMATION

    Sensitive information refers to information related to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, physical or mental health, sexual life, criminal background or trade union membership.

    If you are an EU resident, please see the Appendix for additional provisions applicable to sensitive information.

  • Personal Information may be obtained when you provide it to us, e.g., when making a reservation, when logging onto our w-fi network, through online forms, over the phone, over e-mail, in person, or by any other method covered by this Policy. Except for the security measures discussed above or other areas indicated in this Policy, when we need to collect Personal Information from you, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. The most common examples of such requests are when you make a reservation, which we describe in more detail below. We may also obtain Personal Information when you visit any of our websites or use any features or resources available on or through any of our websites.

    SUBSCRIPTIONS

    If you wish, you may submit your e-mail address to our subscription list or to receive other information. We will only place you on such lists when you indicate your desire to be included. We do not sell or rent our lists to anyone. Once on such a list, you may ask to be removed from the list at any time. Visitors will always have the ability to accept or decline any form of communication from Oliver.

    THIRD PARTIES

    We may use third parties to provide us with additional contact information about you based on information you provide to us directly. For example, if we know your name and postal address, we may use a third party to provide us with your e-mail address. We may request your Personal Information from your traveling companion. In such cases, we rely on your companion to obtain your consent for disclosing such information to us.

    COOKIES

    When you visit our websites, your computer may be provided a cookie, which tracks your preferences. These cookies allow us to provide each visitor with a customized experience. We may also use cookies to collect and maintain aggregate website data (such as the number of visitors to a particular site), which helps us see which areas are popular with our users and which are not. Among other things, this data helps us improve and update the site, based on our visitors’ use information.

    We also may collect data by using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar means that allow us to know when you visit our site and to understand how you interact with our e-mails or advertisements. These methods also collect aggregate data that we hope to use to improve our websites to better suit our visitors and customers preferences.

    We process Personal Information through cookies and similar technologies, in accordance with our Cookie Policy.

    RESERVATIONS

    When making a room reservation, we will ask you for Personal Information necessary for ensuring that your room is properly reserved and your needs are met.

    Visitors to websites who elect to make reservations online will be required to create an online account and fill out a profile the first time they make a reservation. When you complete a profile, you will be asked to provide specific information, including your name, address, other contact information, and credit card information as a guarantee and deposit for your reservation. Your transmittal of this information shall constitute your acknowledgment and agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this Policy.

    Your credit card number will be verified using a checking sequence, but we do not authorize any payments at this point. Once your reservation is confirmed, the property you have selected will be sent all of the reservation information through a secure network. You can also make a reservation by contacting a particular property directly. When you make a reservation over the phone, we may ask you for information such as your name, address, telephone number, and method of payment. We may also obtain from you any room preferences or special requests. Confirmation of your reservation will be provided to you, generally by email, directly from the property.

    PAYMENTS

    Any credit/debit card payments and other payments you make through our website will be processed by our third-party payment providers and the payment data you submit will be securely stored and encrypted by our payment service providers using up to date industry standards. Please note that we do not ourselves directly process or store the debit/credit card data that you submit.

  • We treat the information you provide to us as confidential and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of processing, in accordance with applicable law. Information stored at our properties is kept in a secure location, whether in locked filing cabinets or in protected electronic databases. Reservation information is stored in a secure customer database. We also maintain a separate database for Personal Information used for marketing and research purposes. For online transactions, we use technology to protect the Personal Information that you transmit to us via our site. When we ask for your credit card data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line, provided you are using an SSL-enabled browser. We also use SSL on other pages where you would enter Personal Information. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. After information reaches Oliver, it is stored on a secure server behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access. Please note that no security system or system of transmitting data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.

    For your own privacy protection, please do not include sensitive Personal Information, including, without limitation, credit card numbers, in any e-mails you may send to us.

    In processing your Personal Information in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, we will rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the circumstances:

    a. Consent: we have obtained your prior express consent to the processing (this legal basis is only used in relation to processing that is entirely voluntary – it is not used for processing that is necessary or obligatory in any way);

    b. Contractual necessity: the processing is necessary in connection with any contract that you may enter into with us;

    c. Compliance with applicable law: the processing is required by applicable law;

    d. Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of any individual; or

    e. Legitimate interests: we have a legitimate interest in carrying out the processing for the purpose of managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms.

    2. Legal bases for processing sensitive information

    Where it becomes necessary to process your sensitive information for any reason, we rely on one of the following legal bases:

    a. Compliance with applicable law: the processing is required or permitted by applicable law (e.g., to comply with our diversity reporting obligations);

    b. Detection and prevention of crime: the processing is necessary for the detection or prevention of crime (e.g., the prevention of fraud);

    c. Establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights: the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights; or

    d. Consent: we have, in accordance with applicable law, obtained your prior, express consent prior to processing your sensitive information (this legal basis is only used in relation to processing that is entirely voluntary – it is not used for processing that is necessary or obligatory in any way).

    3. Third party processors

    Where we engage a third-party processor to process your Personal Information, the processor will be subject to binding contractual obligations to: (i) only process the Personal Information in accordance with our prior written instructions; and (ii) use measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the Personal Information; together with any additional requirements under applicable law.

    4. International transfer of Personal Information

    Because of the international nature of our business, we transfer Personal Information within the Oliver family of companies, and to third parties as noted in Section V above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy. For this reason, we transfer Personal Information to other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located.

    When you provide your Personal Information to us from the country in which you are located, you are initiating a transfer of your Personal Information to the United States.

    5. Data Retention

    We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Information is only processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your Personal Information are as follows:

    a. we will retain Personal Information in a form that permits identification only for as long as:

    i. we maintain an ongoing relationship with you (e.g., where you are a customer of our services, or you are lawfully included in our mailing list and have not unsubscribed); or

    ii. your Personal Information is necessary in connection with the lawful purposes set out in this Policy, for which we have a valid legal basis (e.g., where your Personal Information is included in a contract between us and you and we have a legitimate interest in fulfilling our obligations under that contract; or where we have a legal obligation to retain your Personal Information);

    b. plus the duration of:

    i. any applicable limitation period under applicable law (i.e., any period during which any person could bring a legal claim against us in connection with your Personal Information, or to which your Personal Information is relevant); and

    ii. an additional two (2) month period following the end of such applicable limitation period (so that, if a person brings a claim at the end of the limitation period, we are still afforded a reasonable amount of time in which to identify any Personal Information that is relevant to that claim);

    c. and, in addition, if any relevant legal claims are brought, we continue to process Personal Information for such additional periods as are necessary in connection with that claim.

    During the periods noted in paragraphs 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(ii) above, we will restrict our processing of your Personal Information to storage of, and maintaining the security of, that Personal Information, except to the extent that that Personal Information needs to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim, or any obligation under applicable law.

    Once the periods in paragraphs 5(a)-(c) above, as applicable, have concluded, we will either permanently delete or destroy the relevant Personal Information; or anonymize the relevant Personal Information.

    6. Accuracy & Minimization

    From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Information. We take every reasonable step to ensure that:

    a. your Personal Information that we process is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;

    b. any of your Personal Information that we process that is inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are processed) is erased or rectified without delay; and

    c. your Personal Information that we process is limited to the Personal Information reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy.

    7. Your Legal Rights

    Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding the processing of your Personal Information:

    a. the right not to provide your Personal Information to us (however, please note that we will be unable to provide you with the full benefit of our websites, products, or services, if you do not provide us with certain Personal Information – e.g., we might not be able to process your requests without the necessary details);

    b. the right to request access to, or copies of, your Personal Information, together with information regarding the nature, processing and disclosure of that Personal Information;

    c. the right to request rectification of any inaccuracies in your Personal Information;

    d. the right to request, on legitimate grounds, (i) erasure of your Personal Information or (ii) restriction of processing of your Personal Information;

    e. the right to have certain Personal Information transferred to another controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to the extent applicable;

    f. where we process your Personal Information on the basis of your consent, the right to withdraw that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such withdrawal, and does not prevent the processing of your Personal Information in reliance upon any other available legal bases); and

    g. the right to lodge complaints regarding the processing of your Personal Information with a data protection authority (in particular, the data protection authority of the EU Member State in which you live, or in which you work, or in which the alleged infringement occurred, each if applicable).

    Subject to applicable law, you may also have the following additional rights regarding the processing of your Personal Information:

    • the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your Personal Information by us or on our behalf; and

    • the right to object to the processing of your Personal Information by us or on our behalf for direct marketing purposes.

    This Policy does not affect your statutory rights. To exercise one or more of these rights, or to ask a question about these rights or any other provision of this Policy, or about our processing of your Personal Information, please use the contact details provided in Section XII above. Please note that:

    a. in some cases it will be necessary to provide evidence of your identity before we can give effect to these rights; and

    b. where your request requires the establishment of additional facts (e.g., a determination of whether any processing is non-compliant with applicable law) we will investigate your request reasonably promptly, before deciding what action to take.
