What data do we collect about you?
During your interactions with us we may collect:
Your name including title
Residential address
Email address
Telephone numbers
Guest names (and ages if under 21)
Bank details
Images of identification documents
Payments from guests are made via bank transfer or credit/debit card via our card payment processor, or directly on the third party booking website that may have been used for the booking.
Although debit / credit details may be used by us during the course of managing your booking these are never stored in any form by us.
We do not collect any information defined within the GDPR as “special category data”.
How we collect this data
We collect the personal data that you input by booking one of our short stay accommodation properties directly on our website, when you sign up to our newsletter from our website (email only), when you contact us by telephone or email or when you interact with our website (cookies) and from third party booking companies on which any booking is entered.
Important note: If your booking with us was obtained through any website other than the one operated directly by us (www.RegentasStays.co.uk) you are advised to review the privacy policy of that website. We cannot be held liable for how the data you have entered is used by third party booking websites.
How we use this data?
We have set out in the table below how we process your personal data and the associated lawful purposes (as defined by the GDPR) that we rely upon to lawfully permit us to process your personal data.
In order to satisfy our legal obligations as a company and to most efficiently fulfil our obligations to you we work with a number of trusted technology suppliers who are fully informed on GDPR and its associated obligations. We only share elements of data necessary for that particular purpose.
Those partners are listed in the following table. You are advised to consult the specific privacy policies for these partners if you have any concerns (links are correct at the time of writing).
How long we store your data
The GDPR requires us to indicate for how long we will retain data. Where you have booked a holiday with us, we will retain your data for a period of 7 years for legal purposes, to ensure that we are able to assist you should you have any questions, feedback or issues in connection with a holiday you have purchased from us and also for is to satisfy the legal obligations on us (e.g. for accounting purposes).
Where we have used your personal information to contact you for marketing communications we will contact you at least every 2 years to ensure you are happy to continue receiving electronic communications and to confirm that the email address we hold is accurate.
Where we have taken a copy of any identification documents we will retain these for 12 months to ensure we have appropriate records to address any payment issue.
Where we have processed your data for any other reason (such as where you have contacted us with a question in connection with a potential holiday booking) we will retain your data for a maximum of 3 years
How we keep your information secure
