Types of personal data collected
The hotel only collects image data and no voice is recorded.
Purpose of processing and legal basis
We use a surveillance system for the purpose of protecting people and property. The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us as the controller (Article 6 p. 1. f GDPR).
For example:
- To control access to the premises and ensure the security of the buildings, the safety of its staff and visitors, and the assets and information located or stored on the premises.
- To prevent, deter and, if necessary, investigate unauthorized physical access, including unauthorized access to secure and protected areas, IT infrastructure or business information.
- To prevent, detect and investigate theft of equipment or property belonging to the Hotel, customers, visitors to staff or threats to the safety of customers, staff or third parties (eg fire, physical assault).
The data collected through the system is not used to monitor the work of employees or to evaluate their behavior and efficiency.
The system is also not used as an investigation tool or to gather evidence in internal investigations or disciplinary procedures, unless it is a security incident.
Analysis of legitimate interests
Our legitimate interest consists in the need to protect our site and the goods located in it from illegal acts, such as theft. The same applies to the safety of life, physical integrity, health and property of our customers, our staff and third parties who are legally present in the monitored area.
We limit the monitoring to places where we have assessed that there is an increased need without focusing on places where the privacy of the persons whose image is taken may be unduly restricted, including their right to respect for personal data.
Recepients
The guarded material is only accessible by our competent / authorized personnel who are in charge of site security. This material is not passed on to third parties, with the exception of the following cases:
a) to the competent judicial, prosecutorial and police authorities when it includes information necessary for the investigation of a criminal act, which concerns persons or goods of the data controller,
b) to the competent judicial, prosecutorial and police authorities when they request data, legally, in the exercise of their duties, and
c) to the victim or perpetrator of a criminal act, when it comes to data that may constitute evidence of the act.
Data retention time
We keep the data for fifteen (15) days, after which they are automatically deleted. In the event that we detect an incident during this period, we isolate part of the video and keep it for up to one (1) month, with the aim of investigating the incident and initiating legal proceedings to defend our legal interests, while if the incident concerns third we will keep the video for up to three (3) more months.
Protection of your personal data
The Hotel is committed to protecting the security of your personal data. Therefore, we have put in place a number of technical and organizational security measures to prevent the use or access of your personal data in an unauthorized or illegal manner, the accidental loss or damage of its integrity, its alteration or disclosure. We keep your data on computer systems with limited access and only in controlled facilities.
In addition, we limit access to your personal information to only those who have a business need to know. Your personal information will only be processed in accordance with our instructions and subject to an obligation of confidentiality. Your Personal Data will only be processed by a third-party Processor if he agrees to comply with the specific technical and organizational data security measures.

Data subjects have the following rights:
- Right of access: you have the right to know whether we are processing your image and, if so, to receive a copy of it.

Alternatively, we allow you to come to our premises to show you the images in which you appear. We also point out that the exercise of the right to object or delete does not imply the immediate deletion of data or modification of the processing. In any case, we will answer you in detail as soon as possible, within the deadlines set by the GDPR.
