If you have questions or need any clarification regarding our Privacy Policy or your rights, you can contact us through the channels indicated below.

You declare that the data you provide us, now or in the future, are correct and truthful and you agree to communicate any modification thereof. In case of providing personal data of third parties, it undertakes to obtain the prior consent of those affected and to inform them about the content of this policy.

Who is responsible for the processing of your data?

Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the person responsible for the processing of the data collected on the website www.smyhotels.com (hereinafter the "Web") is the entity Hotelogy S.L., with address in Calle Ada Byron, 1, Edificio Estel, planta baja, local 6, Parc Bit, 07121, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and provided with NIF B57964629 (hereinafter Smy Hotels). You can contact the Smy Hotels Data Protection Officer at privacy@smyhotels.com.
 

What will we process your data for and on what legal basis?

Management of reservations and provision of the requested services. The data provided in your reservation requests or services will be processed for the management of such reservations and the provision of the requested services. The categories of data we process for these purposes are as follows:

Identification and contact data of the reservation holder;

Data of the reservation itself (dates of stay, number and age of guests and services included in the reservation).

Economic and transaction data.

The processing of this data is necessary for the provision of the requested services, the execution of the hosting contract or for the application of pre-contractual measures at your own request.

The economic data and transactions of goods and services will be processed for the purposes of accounting and administrative management and compliance with our legal obligations in accounting and tax matters.

Online check-in. In compliance with the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement and the 4/2015 Organic Law, of March 30, on the protection of citizen security, hotels have the obligation to register the information of all guests who stay in them. This information, which is recorded in an entry report and serves to establish a passenger record book, consists of the following data: Name and surname, gender, date of birth, country of nationality, number and type of identity document, date of issue of the document, check-in date and signature. 

The data provided in the online check-in form will be communicated to the destination hotel. The on-line check-in functionality allows you to pre-fill in the check-in report to expedite your check-in at the time of your arrival at the hotel. The use of online check-in is optional and does not condition your entry into the hotel. If you do not use this feature, you must complete the check-in form at the time of arrival.

The processing of the information necessary to pre-complete the check in report is based on the consent materialised through the use of this functionality.

Likewise, the photo you have provided for the online check-in will be registered in the hotel management system of the destination hotel. The purpose is to allow the hotel staff to identify you as en in-house guest and control the charge of the consumption you make during your stay in your room. This photo will be deleted at the time of check-out.

This processing is based on the legitimate interest of the hotel in identifying the guests staying for security and charge control purposes. For the weighing of this interest with respect to your rights and freedoms, it has been determined that the treatment had a limited impact on your privacy, since:

  • There is a contractual relationship and the processing is carried out in connection with that relationship;
  • This security measure benefits the guests themselves by ensuring the correct imputation of charges to their room and avoiding possible impersonation;
  • Access to your picture is restricted to hotel staff;
  • The period of conservation of your picture is limited to the time of your stay.
Attention to queries and complaints. The data provided in your queries or claims will be processed to meet your requests and manage any complaints. This processing is necessary for the execution of a contract, the application of pre-contractual measures to your own request or the defence against customer claims.
 
The processing of any health data that you have provided in your claim is covered by art. 9.2. f) of the RGPD, as such treatment is necessary for the formulation, exercise or defence of claims.
 
Statistical and quality management purposes: In order to evaluate and manage the quality of our services and products, we make statistics from aggregated data obtained from transaction data and web browsing data, e.g. IP address, weblogs, pages visited or actions taken on the Web (+ info in our cookies policy).
 
We also make anonymous statistics from aggregated booking data to measure the performance of our products.
 
These treatments are based on our legitimate interest to evaluate and manage the quality of our services and products. For the weighing of this interest with respect to their rights and freedoms, it has been determined that the treatment had a limited impact on the privacy of the interested parties, as it corresponded to their reasonable expectations and did not pose significant threats as they were based on aggregated data and with the consent of the interested parties regarding the metrics made with the use of cookies.
 
Sending personalised sales communications: If you have consented to receive our sales communications, your identification and contact data will be processed to send you personalised advertising related to the Smy Hotels chain and the hotels within its portfolio.
