A guest/customer/supplier can voluntarily and by choice give Faenoe Estate additional personal data that they consider is important to Faenoe Estate’s operation and servicing of the guest/customer/supplier, or that they believe should be given for security purposes.
For example, this can be data on:
– Disability.
– Allergy.
– Special food preferences.
– Other health or medical information.
If a guest/customer/supplier voluntarily and by choice chooses to give such data, Faenoe Estate considers it as consent to record and store such sensitive data about them.
In addition to the data that Faenoe Estate receives directly from guests/customers/suppliers, Faenoe Estate will, in some cases, obtain or process additional data that Faenoe Estate has received from third parties, for example, a travel agent, booking portal, another intermediary or an employee of the company where the data subject is employed.
Where this is the case, the third party must inform the relevant guests/customers/suppliers of Faenoe Estate’s Terms and Conditions, as well as the Privacy Policy of Faenoe Estate. It is also the responsibility of the third party concerned to ensure that there is the necessary legal basis for collecting and processing such data, including obtaining the necessary consent to the processing of any sensitive data.
5. Payment by credit or debit card
Faenoe Estate uses Nets to redeem payments made by debit and credit cards. Faenoe Estate is approved and certified by the Danish Financial Institution’s Payment System (www.pbs.dk).
For reservations and bookings, Faenoe Estate stores the data provided by the guest/customer/supplier for up to five years, after which the data is deleted.
In addition to processing the order, the data provided will only be used if a guest/customer/supplier, for example, contacts with questions or if there are errors in the order.
6. What is the purpose of the collection and processing?
Faenoe Estate only collects personal data that is necessary to comply with the agreements entered into with guests/customers/suppliers for the provision of services, for example, an overnight stay, or the purchase/sale of products or services.
It is the nature of the individual agreement and the type of service which determines what personal data Faenoe Estate collects and processes and which determines the purpose of the collection.
The purpose of the collection and processing of personal data will primarily be:
1. To process a guest’s/customer’s booking and purchase of Faenoe Estate’s services, products and gift cards.
2. To process suppliers’ quotes and sales of products and services.
3. To contact the guest/customer before, during or after their stay.
4. To fulfil the guest’s/customer’s request for offers or the purchase of services.
5. For the improvement and development of Faenoe Estate’s services.
6. For the customisation of Faenoe Estate’s marketing, public relations and other communications.
7. For the analysis and reporting of the behaviour of guests/customers/suppliers and marketing to them.
8. To customise Faenoe Estate’s partners’ communication and marketing to guests/customers/suppliers.
9. Administration and maintenance of the guest/customer/supplier relationship to Faenoe Estate, including possible participation in Faenoe Estate’s potential customer/loyalty programme, cultivation of new customers and continuous business relations.
10. Compliance with legal requirements, for example, the requirement to register overnight guests according to immigration law, rules for Internet logging and passport regulations.
7. Legal basis for processing
Faenoe Estate will most often process personal data because it is necessary to fulfil an agreement with Faenoe Estate which a guest/customer or a supplier are party to. This may, for example, be in connection with hotel accommodation, holding meetings and/or the processing and fulfilment of cooperation and supplier agreements.
Faenoe Estate will also process personal data in connection with booking prior to an overnight stay, holding meetings, companies, conferences, etc., and prior to entering into supplier agreements.
In some cases, Faenoe Estate’s processing of personal data will take place as part of the fact that Faenoe Estate has a legitimate/factual interest that precedes the guest’s/customer’s/supplier’s (the data subject’s) interests.
Such a legitimate interest could, for example, be the preparation of statistics, customer surveys, marketing and an analysis of general guest/customer behaviour, which aims to improve the overall experience at Faenoe Estate and the quality of Faenoe Estate’s services and products.
In connection with their stay/visit to Faenoe Estate, if a guest/customer discloses particular personal preferences or considerations, including, for example, medical information, disability, religious beliefs or the like, Faenoe Estate only uses the data to ensure that the guest’s/customer’s personal preferences, well-being and health etc., are taken into account.
In some situations, Faenoe Estate receives personal data from third parties such as a travel agent, an agent or similar, including in connection with group bookings or booking for individuals. When this happens, the third party must notify the relevant guests/customers/suppliers of Faenoe Estate’s Terms and Conditions and the content of this Privacy Policy.
Under the law, see the above under section 6, Faenoe Estate is also required to record various data about overnight guests. This data must be kept for at least one year and a maximum of two years.
8. Rights of the data subject
According to the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data subjects (customers/guests/suppliers) have different rights.
1. A data subject has the right at any time to obtain access to the personal data that Faenoe Estate processes on the data subject.
2. A data subject has the right at any time to rectify and update the personal data that Faenoe Estate has on the data subject.
3. A data subject has the right at any time to delete the personal data that Faenoe Estate has on the data subject. If a data subject requests deletion, all data that Faenoe Estate is not required to keep by law must be deleted. A deletion of the data subject’s data may in some cases mean that Faenoe Estate cannot fulfil agreements made or provide certain services to the data subject.
4. If some of the data that Faenoe Estate has on the data subject is given on the basis of the data subject’s consent, they are entitled at any time to withdraw their consent, which means that the data is deleted or is no longer used by Faenoe Estate. This shall not apply to the data referred to above that Faenoe Estate is legally obligated to store.
The option to request deletion, etc., may, however, be limited in order to protect the privacy, trade secrets and intellectual property rights of other persons and, for example, the option to enforce potential legal claims.
The data subject may at any time in writing ask Faenoe Estate to obtain an overview and a copy of the personal data of the data subject that Faenoe Estate possesses.
A written request to that effect must be signed by the data subject and include their name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
The data subject may also contact Faenoe Estate if the data subject believes that their personal data is being processed in contravention of the law or in breach of other legal obligations, such as the agreement/contract that the data subject has with Faenoe Estate.
Written requests are to be sent to Faenoe Estate, see the contact details above under section 1.
Faenoe Estate will, as far as possible, within one month of receipt of the data subject’s written request, reply to the data subject’s postal address.
If the data subject asks for the correction and/or deletion of their personal data, then Faenoe Estate will assess whether the conditions for the request have been met and Faenoe Estate will make changes or deletions as soon as possible.
Faenoe Estate reserves the right to reject requests which have the character of vexatory repetition, or which require disproportionate technical measures (such as the development of a new IT system), or which affect the protection of other data subjects’ personal data, or in other situations where it would be disproportionately resource-intensive or very complicated to meet the request.
9. Security
Faenoe Estate protects the personal data of the data subject and has established guidelines to protect the data subject’s personal data from unauthorised disclosure and access or coming to the knowledge of unauthorised persons.
Only those persons/employees of Faenoe Estate who, by virtue of their job function, need the personal data of the data subjects have access to it. Faenoe Estate continually checks that there is no unauthorised access to the personal data of data subjects.
Faenoe Estate regularly backs up data subjects’ personal data.
In the event of a breach of security where there is a high risk of misuse of the personal data of data subjects, including, for example, of identity theft, financial loss, loss of reputation or any other form of abuse, Faenoe Estate will inform the data subject of the breach as soon as possible.
Faenoe Estate’s security procedures are continually reviewed and updated in relation to technological developments.
10. Sharing personal data
