As an aparthotel and serviced apartment provider, we collect and process information about you so that we can manage your booking, deal with your booking enquiries, arrange and facilitate your stay with us, improve your experience when using our website and where relevant, deal with any issues that you may have (our "Services").

This includes your electronic identifiers such as your IP address, as well as data on how you interact with our Site. For more information see the section on Cookies below.

  1. Special category information

 

  • Where you are booking a stay with us, we may need to collect information about your health if relevant to your booking (for example whether you have a physical disability that would require you to have wheelchair access to an apartment or aparthotel room).
  • We will also collect information that you provide to us through a special request as part of your booking where you deem it relevant, for example which reveals or is likely to reveal your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, political views or data concerning your sexual orientation.
  • As a job candidate, we may ask you to anonymously provide information about your race, religion, ethnicity or other protected characteristics to help us better understand the diversity of our pool of applicants. This request will always be voluntary.

These Hotel Partners are third party apartment and hotel providers who supply services to our customers where an apartment or hotel is required in areas where edyn does not currently operate or does not have availability. We will use your personal information to book the apartment or hotel for you and provide your personal data to the relevant Partner to allow them to prepare the apartment or hotel room for your arrival and to contact you if there are any issues.
  • Provide you with information about our Services we feel may interest you, if you have given your consent to receiving marketing material from us at the point we collected your information, where required by law or otherwise in our legitimate interests provided these interests do not override your right to object to such communications. You can object to further marketing at any time by checking and updating your contact details within your account, or selecting the "unsubscribe" link at the end of all our marketing and promotional update communications to you, or by sending us an email at [email protected].
  • Evaluate your job application if you have applied to work for us, and process your hiring should you be successful, including all legal requirements. If unsuccessful, we may add you to a searchable candidate database in case of future suitable vacancies we may invite you to apply for.

Please see our cookies section below for further information on our use of this data.

  • To provide our Services, we work with the following carefully selected third parties. To do this, we may share your information with these third parties:
    • our third-party payment processor to take payment for your booking;
    • our third-party services providers hired to provide essential services such as security of the buildings, housekeeping, catering services and feedback collection following your stay;
    • Our third-party marketing partners who help us provide relevant advertising to you, provided you’ve opted-in to receive our marketing;

 

    • any group companies for business purposes; and
    • Hotel Partners (as described at section 2 above) to facilitate bookings with them on your behalf.
  • We will also disclose your information to third parties:
    • in the event that we sell or dispose of any part of our business or assets, in which case we will, to the extent necessary to ensure continuity of business operations, disclose your personal data to a purchaser of such business or assets subject to the terms of this Policy;
    • if edyn is acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will come under the control of the purchaser; and
    • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms of supply and other agreements with you; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of edyn, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction and to prevent cybercrime.
  • If you apply to work for us, we will share your information with a third party provider to assist with our recruitment process and verify information you provided to us. They may also assist with conducting background checks, and communicate with government or regulatory bodies as required by law. We may also contact references directly.

  • We use CCTV in our aparthotels and serviced apartments to help ensure the security of those premises and our guests in general. Any use of CCTV by edyn or its affiliates is carried out in compliance with Data Protection Laws.

 

  • We do not record audio on the CCTV, so your conversations will not be recorded.

 

  • There are no CCTV cameras within any of the aparthotel rooms or apartments. We use CCTV to monitor entrances, exits, hallways and other common public spaces within the buildings.

 

  • Recordings from CCTV equipment operated by edyn can only be accessed by the edyn security team. We will only share the CCTV recordings as required to comply with our legal responsibilities or if we otherwise deem it necessary to ensure the safety and security of our staff, guests and visitors.

 

  • We retain the CCTV recordings for 30 days from the date of the recording to identify any issues and resolve any legal proceedings.
  • At some of our multi-tenanted properties with shared common spaces, the CCTV in those areas may be operated by the Building Management Company. In those cases, access is controlled by that Company and is subject to their Privacy Policy.

  • We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. With the exception of CCTV and Cookies (see relevant sections of this policy), we have deemed this period to be 7 years from the date of your last stay with us, or such longer period as necessary for any investigations or claims that arise. After this period, it will be deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

 

  • Information we process for job applicants will be retained for up to 12 months from the date of the last activity on your candidate profile, at which point your data will be fully anonymised.

 

  • If you have any questions regarding the retention of your personal data then please contact us using the details in section 12.

  • Our Site uses cookies and/or other similar technologies such as device-IDs, in-App codes, pixel tags and web beacons to collect and store certain information. These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies and similar technologies enable you to be remembered when using that computer or device to interact with websites and online services and can be used to manage a range of features and content as well as storing searches and presenting personalised content.
  • Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies either alone or in combination with each other to create a unique device ID, and to distinguish you from other users of our Site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Site and also allows us to improve our Site.
  • A number of cookies and similar technologies we use last only for the duration of your web or app session and expire when you close your browser or exit the Site. Others are used to remember you when you return to the Site and will last for longer.
  • We use strictly necessary cookies if they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights). We also apply anonymous ‘cookieless pings’ in order to measure our sales conversion success rate where consent is withheld. We use all other cookies with your consent, and will prompt you for reconsent after 3 months.
  • We use the following types of cookies on our Site:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Site and under our terms with you. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Site or (on other sites) use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and identify traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They collect aggregate, anonymous data to help us know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the Site. If you block these cookies, we won’t know when you have visited our Site, and will not be able to monitor its performance as effectively. The typical duration is 3-12 months.

Targeting cookies

These cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information subject to your choices and preferences to make our Site and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. The typical duration is 1 year.

Social media cookies

These cookies help us manage our social media, including enabling you to share content and enabling us to understand how you interact with us. We will use this information subject to your choices and preferences to improve our Site and services. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. The typical duration is 1 year.

We may also work with advertising networks that gather information about the content on our Site you visit and on information on other websites and services you visit. This may result in you seeing advertisements through our Site or our advertisements when you visit other websites and services of third parties.
