Legal requirements

Your personal information may also be processed if it is necessary on reasonable request by a law enforcement or regulatory authority, body or agency or in the defence of a legal claim. We will not delete personal information if relevant to an investigation or a dispute. It will continue to be stored until those issues are fully resolved.

Special information we collect

Certain types of personal information are more sensitive than others. "Special information" about you includes information about health, dietary requirements, disability, race, ethnicity, criminal offences (or alleged offences), political opinions, biometrics or religion.

We may collect and receive special information about you. We have identified here the types of special information we may collect or receive, how we will use it and why we will use it.

What special information we collect

1. Information that you give us or that we receive when you make a booking or when you complete a registration form at the properties:

• Dietary or allergy requirements that imply specific religious beliefs or medical conditions;
• Health / accident/ mobility / disability records.

Why we use your special information

• Legal basis for processing; because you have consented that we may process this information for those reasons. Where we rely on your consent, you will have the right to withdraw the consent by contacting us.
• Legal Basis for processing: It is necessary for the prevention or detection of an unlawful act under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (Schedule 1, Part 3 section 31).

We will process your data in accordance with UK GDPR Laws.

Minors

Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important to us. Outside of required guest details and relevant medical information (i.e. medical information and disability information), we do not intentionally gather personal information about minors save for the data required in order to facilitate you and your child's stay with us. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information about your child, please contact us, and we will attempt to remove this information. If a minor (according to applicable laws) has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the relevant personal information and unsubscribe them from our website and/or services.

How long we keep your information

We will keep your information for as long as it is reasonably necessary and to deal with claims. It will depend on factors such as whether you've made a booking or an enquiry with us or have interacted with recent offers. We will also retain your information as necessary to comply with legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Information we share

There are certain circumstances where we may transfer your personal data to employees, contractors and to other third parties.

• We share information about you with employees at the properties and other members of our group of companies. They are bound to keep your information in accordance with this privacy policy.
• We may also share your information with certain contractors or service providers. They may process your personal data for us, for example, if you book an activity package provided by a third-party supplier at an OEMM property. Other recipients/service providers include database management providers, website digital agents, IT systems specialists and email providers.
• Our suppliers and service providers will be required to meet our standards on processing information and security. The information we provide them, including your information, will only be provided in connection with the performance of their function.
• We may also share your information with certain third parties. We will do this either when we receive your consent or because we need them to see your information to provide products or services to you. These include other partners we do business with such as third-party activity & catering suppliers approved by OEMM.

Your personal information may be transferred to other third-party organisations in certain scenarios:

1). If we're discussing selling or transferring part or all of our business – the information may be transferred to prospective purchasers under suitable terms as to confidentiality;

2). If we are reorganised or sold, information may be transferred to a buyer who can continue to provide services to you;

3). If we're required to by law, or under any regulatory code or practice we follow, or if we are asked by any public or regulatory authority – for example the Police;

4). If we are defending a legal claim your information may be transferred as required in connection with defending such claim.

Your personal data may be shared if it is made anonymous and aggregated, as in such circumstances the information will cease to be personal data.

Your rights

You may have certain rights in relation to your information including a right to access or to correct the information we hold on you.

Other rights may be available in certain circumstances.

Some rights will only apply in certain circumstances. For example, the right to be forgotten or the right to request that we transfer your information to another company. Generally, these rights will not be available if you have an outstanding booking with us, if we are required by law to keep the information or if the information is relevant to a legal dispute. If you would like to exercise, or discuss any of these rights, please contact us.

Where we receive a request to exercise one of these rights, we shall provide information on the action we take on the request within one month of receipt of the request. This may be extended by a further two months in certain circumstances, for example where requests are complex or numerous.

The information will be provided to you free of charge, except where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character. In these circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee or may refuse to act on the request. We will advise you of any fees prior to proceeding with a request.

We may ask you to verify your identity before carrying out a request.

Where we do not carry out your request, we shall inform you without delay and within one month of receipt of the request, together with our reasons for not taking the action requested. You shall have a right to raise a complaint with a supervisory authority or seek a remedy from a Court.

We've listed the rights you have over your information and how you can use them below. These rights are subject to restrictions in the GDPR and, subject to the exemptions in that law, may only apply to certain types of information or processing.
