Business re-organisation:

In instances where our business is subject to a re-organisation, such as a merger or acquisition of some or all of its assets, we may, in accordance with our legitimate interests, need to share information in the course of the transaction.

DATA PROCESSING

We process the Data in a lawful and proper manner and take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification or unauthorised destruction of the Data. Processing is carried out using computers and / or telematic means, with technical and organisational methods, and logics strictly related to the stated purposes.

In some cases, access to the Data may be available to external parties (such as third party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies).

The Data is processed at our headquarters unless stated otherwise. Our headquarters is located at Findlater Hotels Limited, 3-4 Gardiner Row, Dublin 1, D01R640, Ireland.

DATA TRANSFERS

In certain cases, we may need to transfer your information to recipients outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), such as where it is necessary to provide the Services.

Where we transfer your information, we do so in accordance with EU data protection law. We only transfer personal information to these countries when it is necessary for the services we provide you, or it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or subject to safeguards that assure the protection of your information.

When Findlater Hotels Limited engages in such transfers of personal information, it relies on i) Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), or ii) Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. For more information, please visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en. Findlater Hotels Limited also monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers in order to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR.

Following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework in Case C-311/18, Findlater Hotels Limited will no longer rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield as a mechanism of international data transfer until further notice. Findlater Hotels Limited will however remain committed to maintaining its self-certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles and respect its principles, as an additional measure of protection of its users’ privacy, until further notice.

Please note that the privacy protections in some of these countries may not be the same as in your home country. We will only transfer information as permitted by law.

For further information, including obtaining a copy of the documents used to protect your information, please contact us on gdpr@castlecollection.com.
