The sending of commercial communications will only take place when the user has given their express consent by means of the corresponding enabled box. In these cases, a double opt-in system will be implemented, whereby the user must confirm their subscription via a link sent to their e-mail address.
Users may withdraw their consent at any time, as well as unsubscribe from commercial communications through the link provided in each mailing or through the channels indicated in this Privacy Policy.
The data provided may be used centrally by the companies of the HIDDEN HOTELS group to send commercial communications, provided that the user has given his or her express consent to do so.

The booking engine is provided by ROIBACK, which generally acts as a data processor in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, providing technological booking management services on behalf of DANDA PATRIMONIO E INVERSIONES, S.L. and/or the relevant hotel operator.
The data entered during the booking process will be communicated to the company that owns or operates the selected establishment, which will act as the data controller for the management, processing, confirmation, modification or cancellation of the booking, as well as for the provision of the contracted accommodation services.
The legal basis for the processing is the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the user.
Personal data may be used to send communications necessary for the correct management of the booking, including confirmations, reminders, incidents, modifications or relevant information about the stay, including by electronic means, as they are linked to the execution of the contract.

Within the framework of the provision of the service, the data may be communicated to technology providers acting as data processors, as well as to financial institutions for the management of payments. No data will be transferred to third parties, unless legally obliged to do so.
The user should review the specific data protection information provided during the booking process, which will identify the data controller and detail the conditions applicable to such processing.
The data may be integrated into customer management systems (CRM) used by the HIDDEN HOTELS group, in order to manage the relationship with the customer and, where appropriate, to send commercial communications, always on the basis of the user's consent.
Payment and Redsys payment gateway
To complete the booking process, the user must provide the necessary data to make the corresponding payment.
The payment service is carried out through the Redsys gateway, managed by the corresponding financial institutions. In this context, the banks and Redsys act as independent data controllers with respect to the data necessary for the execution of the financial transaction, in accordance with their own privacy policies and regulations.
DANDA PATRIMONIO E INVERSIONES, S.L. and/or the company operating the establishment do not access or store the complete details of the bank card used, but only receive confirmation of the payment made.
The legal basis for the processing of payment-related data is the execution of the accommodation contract as well as the fulfilment of statutory tax and accounting obligations.
The data provided for payment will be processed in a secure environment, in accordance with applicable industry security standards, including protocols such as PCI-DSS and strong authentication systems (SCA).
In certain cases, such as non-refundable rates, booking guarantees or possible charges associated with the stay, pre-authorisations or charges may be made in accordance with the booking conditions. Such treatments shall be limited exclusively to the management of the contracted service.
The data may be communicated to financial institutions and payment service providers necessary for the correct execution of the transaction. No additional transfers will be made to third parties, unless legally obliged to do so.
Users are recommended to consult the privacy policies of the financial institutions and Redsys to learn about the specific processing of their data in the field of payment management.

- Where appropriate, personalise the offers and benefits of the programme, only when the user has given his consent to do so.

The data will be kept as long as the user does not request cancellation of the service, does not cancel their participation in the programme or does not withdraw their consent. Once the relationship has ended, the data will be deleted or blocked in accordance with the legally established deadlines.

As a general rule, we only process personal data provided directly by their owners. If you provide us with data belonging to third parties, you guarantee that you have previously informed such persons of the content of this Privacy Policy and that you have obtained their consent where required, especially in cases where the applicable regulations so require. Otherwise, you shall hold HIDDEN HOTELS harmless from any liability arising from failure to comply with this requirement.
What about data relating to minors?
We do not process personal data of persons under 14 years of age. If you are under this age, you must refrain from providing us with your personal data. In the event that a minor under 14 provides us with data without authorization, we will proceed to delete it immediately as soon as we become aware of it.
Will we send communications by electronic means?
We will only make communications by electronic means when they are necessary to manage your request, reservation or any procedure related to the contracted services, provided that you have provided said data as a contact channel.
These communications will be of an operational or informative nature and will be based on the execution of the contractual relationship or on the application of pre-contractual measures, and will therefore not be considered as commercial communications.
The sending of commercial communications by electronic means will only be carried out when the user has given their prior, express and verifiable consent, in accordance with current legislation.
However, in accordance with the provisions of article 21.2 of the LSSI-CE, commercial communications may be sent relating to products or services similar to those previously contracted, provided that there is a prior contractual relationship and the user is offered the possibility of objecting to such processing in each communication.

To this end, we apply access control protocols, encryption where necessary, server and communication security systems, internal data protection policies, staff training, and incident response procedures, among other measures that are adapted to the state of the art and to the nature of the processing carried out. HIDDEN HOTELS periodically reviews and updates these measures to ensure their effectiveness and adequacy to the risk.
To what extent is decision-making automated?
HIDDEN HOTELS does not use fully automated decision-making processes that produce legal effects on the user or significantly affect them in a similar way. If, in any specific processing activity, automated procedures or profiling were applied, the corresponding information would be provided at the appropriate time, including the logic involved, the importance, and the possible consequences of such processing, as well as the rights available to the user in such cases, where required by applicable law.
Will profiling take place?
Certain service providers used by HIDDEN HOTELS may be located outside the European Economic Area, which may involve the international transfer of personal data.
In such cases, HIDDEN HOTELS shall ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, applying appropriate safeguards to ensure a level of protection equivalent to that existing in the European Union.

These providers include, among others, web hosting services, booking engines, analytics tools, cloud storage, CRM, email marketing, IT maintenance or management systems.

Customer management platforms (CRM) may also be used, acting as data processors for customer data management, marketing campaigns and commercial communications, on the basis of consent.
In relation to payment services, financial institutions and payment systems (such as Redsys) will act as independent data controllers in respect of the data necessary for the execution of the transaction.
In the event that the user uses third-party services during the booking or payment process (e.g. external platforms or online payment methods), the user's data will be processed directly in the environment of these third parties, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Additionally, in the event that the user has given their express consent, their data (including, where applicable, name, image or other information associated with events or activities) may be published on the website or official social networks of HIDDEN HOTELS, exclusively for the authorised purposes.
In cases where service providers are located outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards in accordance with the GDPR, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, will be adopted.
