Dear guests,

1. FOR WHAT PURPOSES DO WE PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA?

We process the personal data in order to provide you accommodation services – i.e. for concluding a direct contract. For this we need your name, surname, place of residence and at least some contact information such as a telephone number or email address. If you have made a prior reservation with us, we have to process the information on the reservation of the accommodation (including the identification of the portal from which the reservation was received) as well as information regarding whether you were satisfied with everything and if we have properly fulfilled our obligations. Thus this is the fulfilment of our contractual obligations.

We also keep the data after the end of the accommodation so that we can react to any complaints from your side or to resolve any other issues concerning your stay. Thus we process it for the protection of our justified interests.

We also have legal obligations where we have to process your personal data. If you are foreign nationals, we have to fulfil the obligation pursuant to the Act on Foreign Nationals and keep a logbook, in which we have to provide information in the scope of name, surname, date of birth, state citizenship, permanent residence abroad, number of passport and visa, if it is indicated in the passport, the beginning and place of the stay, the expected duration and purpose of the stay in the Czech Republic, the beginning and the end of the accommodation.

We are also obliged to pay the local fee and so we also have to keep further records here. Thus we need to process: the duration of the accommodation, the purpose for the stay, name, surname, address of permanent residence abroad and the identification card or passport number.

If we issue you an invoice (or other accounting document), this has all the legal requisites (incl. the identification of you, as the guest, the character of our services and other relevant information), without which the document cannot be issued.

We also have to process your information for the purposes of the obligations according to accounting and tax regulations.
