Privacy policy
1. Introduction
We use your personal information in order to fulfil our commitment to providing an unparalleled guest service experience in connection with all of your interactions with SW Hotel (the Purpose). As part of that undertaking, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the personal information that we gather. As one of our guests or someone else with whom we do business, you understand and agree that we collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Global Privacy Policy (this Policy).
2. The Application of this Policy
This Policy applies to personal information regarding guests and the other individuals with whom we do business or who visit us and to the use of that personal information in any form – whether oral, electronic or written. This Policy gives effect to our commitment to protect your personal information and has been adopted by all the separate and distinct legal entities that manage, operate, franchise, license, own and/or provide services to the SW Hotel Inc.
This Policy is intended to describe the broadest range of our personal information processing activities and our internal policies and/or practices.
3. Types of Personal Information We Collect
The term “personal information” in this Policy refers to information that identifies, or is capable of identifying, you as an individual. The types of personal information that we process include:
- Your name, gender, personal and work contact details, business title, date and place of birth, image, nationality, and passport.
- Guest stay information, including, dates of arrival and departure, goods and services utilized, special requests made, observations about your service preferences (including room and vacation preferences), telephone numbers dialed, faxes, texts, and telephone messages received by us;
- Your credit card details, and your account details and credentials for any frequent guest, flyer or travel partner program;
- Any information necessary to fulfil special requests (e.g., health conditions that require specific
accommodation or services); - Information, feedback or content you provide regarding your marketing preferences, in surveys,
sweepstakes, contests, or promotional offers, or to our websites or apps and those of third parties; - Information collected while at the SW Hotel through the use of closed circuit television systems,

- In limited cases, information relating to the credit of customers.
Much of the personal information we process is information that you or someone acting on your behalf knowingly provides to us. However, in other instances, we process personal information that we are able to infer about you based on other information you provide to us or during our interactions with you. This Policy also applies to the personal information about you that we receive from a third party, unless specifically covered by such third party’s privacy policy.
There may be instances in which the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect is considered Sensitive Personal Information under English privacy. Those laws define “Sensitive Personal Information” to mean personal information from which we can determine or infer an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, membership in a trade union or professional association, physical or mental health or condition, medical treatment, genetic data, sexual life or judicial data (including information concerning the commission or alleged commission of a criminal offence). In some very rare instances, financial records may form part of Sensitive Personal Information where you are located. We only process Sensitive Personal Information if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law. When you agree to this Policy, you are, to the extent required under English law, granting your express and written consent to the processing of any personal information that you provide to the SW Hotel that is considered to be sensitive personal Information or financial information. Save to the extent required by law, you are not obliged to provide the SW Hotel with any of your sensitive personal Information, and should you choose not to, this will not prevent you from purchasing any products or services from the SW Hotel.

In those circumstances, we may include the personal information collected about you, or control of that personal information, as a business asset in any such transfer. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, personal information collected about you, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets.
5.5 Legal Requirements We reserve the right to disclose any personal information we have concerning you if we are compelled to do so by a court of law or lawfully requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we determine it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our rights or property in accordance with applicable laws.

The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology and other reasonable security measures. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of personal information and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of personal information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions for the due Protection of your rights.

We may also share your personal information with carefully selected third parties who may

In some jurisdictions, in addition to you agreeing to this Policy, data privacy laws may require us to obtain a separate consent before we send you information that you have not specifically requested. In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied (e.g., where
Communications are required in order to fulfil your requests and/or where you have volunteered
information for use by us). In other cases, we may seek your consent expressly in accordance with
applicable laws (e.g., where the information collected is regarded to be Sensitive Personal Information under local Regulations). We will abide by any request from you not to send you direct marketing materials. When such a request is received, your contact details will be “suppressed” rather than deleted. This will ensure that your request is recorded and retained unless you provide a later consent that overrides it.

you. If you want to inquire about any personal information we may have about you, you can do so by sending us a written request by email to the addresses set out in Section 12 below. Please be sure to include your full name, address and telephone number and a copy of a document evidencing your
identity (such as an ID card or passport) so we can ascertain your identity and whether we have any
personal information regarding you, or in case we need to contact you to obtain any additional
information we may require to make that determination.
We reserve the right to charge you a fee, if permitted under applicable law, which is usually around GBP £10 for processing any such request. Where you make more than one request in quick succession, we may respond to your subsequent request by referring to our earlier response and only identifying any items that have changed materially.
You may request that we correct, cancel, and/or stop processing or using personal information that we hold about you.

GUEST EXPERIENCE
- Our mission is to create a positive guest experience that will resonate before, during and after your stay. We believe our guests prefer value for money and tailored service rather than non-essential indulgences when staying at a hotel. We appreciate your business and seek to make each guest’s stay a positive and rewarding experience.
- We would greatly appreciate it if you could find the time to leave a review on TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google or any of the Online Travel Agency websites just to reassure us that we are meeting the high standards our customers expect of us.
- We also respect your privacy and promise not to bombard you with unnecessary emails.
