ARBANY HOTELS SA does not currently transfer any personal data to countries outside the European Union.
Should this situation change, ARBANY HOTELS SA shall only transfer data to a country outside the European Union if said country offers an equivalent level of protection to that provided within the European Union for which a decision on adequacy has been reached by the European Commission in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR or within the limits specific by this law, for example by guaranteeing the protection of data by means of suitable contractual provisions.
6. Data retention period
ARBANY HOTELS SA shall retain the collected personal data for as long as is necessary, notably with regard to the purposes outlined above, the applicable legislation (such as tax legislation) and in order to defend ARBANY HOTELS SA in the context of any disputes which may arise.
7. Protection and confidentiality of data
ARBANY HOTELS SA shall do its utmost to ensure that the collected data is treated with a suitably high level of protection. Technical, physical and organisational security measures shall be established in order to prevent all unauthorised access, abusive use, disclosure or loss of information. Restrictions shall also be introduced to ensure that the use and accessing of your personal data on our servers are limited.

If a customer requests the deletion of their data and, due to security requirements imposed by the authorities, ARBANY HOTELS SA is not able to delete all the customer's data, it shall retain the customer's full name and address for a period of three years following their last stay on a ARBANY HOTELS SA establishment.
If personal data has been collected on the basis of the consent of the data subject, the latter may withdraw their consent at any time. This withdrawal of consent shall only apply to the future, which means that it cannot infringe upon the legality of processing based on previous consent.
The data subject shall send all requests in writing to the following email address: private.datas@arbanyhotels.com.
In the interests of the confidentiality and protection of your data, the individual making a request shall enclose a copy of an official identity document such as their identity card of passport.
