Legal basis for the processing of data. The legal basis for the processing is the contract between us (including the pre-contractual stage) and the need to protect our legitimate interests, namely maintaining a high quality of service. Indeed, sending an email after staying on our premises to learn about the quality of our services and your comments does not affect your fundamental rights, but instead allows you, if you wish, to exercise your right of expressing your view about our services and suggest ways to improve them. If you do not provide the above personal information, we will either not be able to book a room for you or we will not be able to provide you with the services you are requesting or we will not be able to contact you if there is a problem.

Data transfer outside the EU. Your data is not transferred to non-EU countries.

Data processing period. We process personal reservation data differently in terms of holding time, depending on the individual purpose of their processing, for example we keep the registration for the name and the date of check-in for a period depending on the retention period of data about your stay and preferences for special services, while the email address for a period up to the completion of the transaction between us if you have not given consent to our sending newsletters. In some cases, we have a legal obligation to retain personal data for a longer period, e.g. for the Municipality in relation to the hotel guests and the payment of a relevant fee for as long as the law provides. If you have given your consent to process the address data for future communication, it is retained for as long as you have consented, as a rule for 20 years. You may withdraw your consent at any time, but the withdrawal of consent will not affect the legitimacy of consent-based treatment before it is withdrawn.  We delete all personal data after the end of the above periods.

  • Demographic data and other data provided by you
  • Aggregated Data. We may aggregate data that we collected and this aggregated data will not personally identify you or any other user.

The data are automatically logged by the web server of the site, without your consent or any specific activity being required by you. The system records and uses the data for the automatic production of statistical measures. These data cannot be associated with other personal data unless such an association is provided for by law. These data will only be used to correct mistakes and improve the quality of our services and for statistical purposes. More information:  https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2611268?hl=el

Purpose of data processing. The technical development of the IT system, the monitoring of the service and the production of statistics. In the case of criminal activities, this data can be used – in cooperation with the user’s internet provider and the competent authorities – to identify the source of such criminal activities.

In order to anticipate your needs, our website provides links to other web sites and third parties for your convenience and information. We are not responsible for the collection, use, maintenance, sharing or disclosure of data (including personal data) by such third parties. We encourage you to contact these third parties to ask questions about their privacy practices, policies and security measures before disclosing any personal data. We recommend that you review the privacy statements and policies of linked web sites to understand how those web sites collect, use and store information

6.3. Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that are stored on the hard disk drive of computers or smart devices until their expiration date set in the cookie and are triggered (by sending a notification to the site’s web server) whenever the web page opens in a browsing application on the device.

Purpose of data processing.  Sites use cookies to capture information about the use of the site (pages visited, time devoted to pages, browsing information, disconnections, etc.) and personal settings – but these data cannot be associated with the identity of the visitor. Cookies allow website administrators to maintain user-friendly websites and improve the experience of users who offer their sites to their visitors.

What cookies are used:

“permanent cookies” that remain during many visits to the site and stored on your hard disk. Permanent cookies will remain stored on the computer or on the smart device after the site is closed. Such cookies are used to allow the site to track returning visitors. Permanent cookies track visitors returning by linking the server side ID to the user and are therefore an essential part of the functionality of sites that require user authentication – for example, in web shops, net-banking sites and e-mail sites. Permanent cookies do not contain personal data, they can only be used to uniquely identify users by linking them to the correct item in the database stored on the web server of the site. The inherent risk of using permanent cookies is that they can only track the web browser as opposed to the user, so if a user uses a public access point – like a computer in an Internet café or a public library – to connect to a store and fails to disconnect from the store at the end of his/her session, another person may have non-authentic access to the web store, which is falsely identified by the system as the original user (and therefore authenticated ).

“session cookies, which are automatically deleted after each visit. Session cookies are temporarily stored only on the computer or smart device while the visitor uses the site. These cookies allow the system to “remember” certain information, so the visitor should not provide them whenever they open the site. The period of validity of session cookies is limited to the duration of the site’s use. the purpose of using session cookies is to prevent data loss (for example, when filling in a longer form). At the end of every use of the site – each session – as well as when the browser closes, cookies of this type are automatically deleted.

9. Cameras / Surveillance systems

The personal data entered are the images of the clients and third parties who make use of the hotel premises. Webcams are located on the entire perimeter of the hotel and are constantly recording areas of particular importance for security such as entrance, check-in, reception, etc. There is a clear signage of the subject at every point where the camera is located.

Purpose of data processing. Video surveillance is used to protect the persons and property of visitors and the hotel. Their use also has a deterrent effect in the sense of limiting incidents if it is known that there is some kind of monitoring. Their use is intended to allow securing and controlling the facilities by a security team.

The legal basis for data processing. The legal basis is the company’s legitimate interest in protecting both its assets and its clients and in securing their uninterrupted stay at its premises. The safety of the facilities is of primary concern and business necessity as tourist facilities are sensitive areas and their precaution is necessary. Because the hotel area is also a workplace for the staff, camera shots are not used to assess or control their work and do not focus on employees unless it is impossible to avoid it, for example in the area of the cashier, the reception or of the entrance.

Data processing period. The processing period is 15 days from the day of receipt. Each camera produces 24-hour movie material that is kept in the company’s security records on behalf of our business and then destroyed.

The legal basis for photographing the subjects in events of the hotel where they participate is based either on their explicit consent to being photographed or on the company’s legitimate interest in taking group photos of their events and posting them on its Facebook page and on Instagram.

10. Disclosures to Service Providers
