Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

Lora Hotel has created this Privacy Statement (this “Policy”) to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting the privacy of our users. Below is a discussion of our information gathering and dissemination practices, and certain other terms of use of our website or mobile application (collectively, this “Site”).

By accessing or using our Site on any computer, mobile phone, tablet, console or other device (collectively, “Device“), you understand and agree that we collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

INFORMATION COLLECTION

Collection of Personal Information

Lora Hotel collects, processes and stores standard data collected by all web server software, as well as personally identifying information (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect is typically information that you voluntarily provide to Lora Hotel through the Site (for example, name, e-mail address, other contact information) or by your presence at our hotel. However, sometimes Personal Information is derived from indirect sources (e.g., inferences from other information; third party sources, including collecting publicly available information from social networking web sites). Collecting and analyzing this information will help us understand your interests better and improve our service to you.

If you have concerns about our Personal Information collection policies, please contact us at privacy@lorahotel.com. To the greatest extent possible, we will offer you the choice to not submit Personal Information. However, the election not to submit Personal Information may affect or inhibit your ability to carry out certain transactions with us. For example, not providing a name will prevent the processing of reservations.

If you are a resident of the EU, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to your respective supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach such supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.

Use of Information Collected

As a general policy, Lora Hotel will not ask you for Personal Information unless we need it or intend to use it. Some of the primary reasons we collect Personal Information are for:

  • Processing transactions and contractual obligations (e.g., making a reservation, completing orders for other goods and services, fulfilling a request for information, completing a product order) and administering frequent guest programs.
  • Responding to your requests for information and services and improving the quality of those services being provided to you.
  • Performing market research via surveys to better serve your needs, improve the effectiveness of our web sites, your hotel experience, our various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities.
  • Marketing and communications with you about the products and services we offer, as well as the products and services offered by our affiliates, strategic marketing partners, and other trusted third parties.
  • Meeting legal and regulatory requirements and providing for the safety and security of staff, guests and other visitors.

Disclosure of Collected Information

Lora Hotel generally does not share, rent, or sell Personal Information you have given us to any third party without your permission. However, we may disclosure your Personal Information in the following instances:

To permit third party service providers who are engaging in business functions on Lora Hotel’ behalf (such as credit card processing, customer support services, market research administration, client communications and outreach, or database management services) to fulfill their obligations and tasks for us.
When required by law, subpoena or other legal process or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to investigate or protect against harmful activities to Lora Hotel guests, visitors, associates, or property (including this Site), or to others.
In connection with a transfer of the Lora Hotel, to the extent necessary to facilitate the continued operation of the business and ensure contractual obligations are met.
To comply with legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law, a court order or a subpoena.

From time to time, we may also share with partners or other third parties non-personal aggregate information (or other such “summary” information) about customers and Site visitors. However, no information is sold or shared at the level of the individual customer.

If information is shared as mentioned above, we will make every effort to limit the scope of information furnished to the amount necessary for the performance of the specific function. Except to the extent prohibited by law, we require third parties to secure the privacy of your Personal Information and abide by applicable privacy laws and regulations.

Retention of Collected Information

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Residents of the EU have the following rights:

Access, Correction and Erasure Requests: You have the right to:

Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to request that Lora Hotel cease processing of your personal information:

Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that Lora Hotel limit the processing of your personal information:

  • while Lora Hotel is evaluating or in the process of responding to a request by you to update or correct your personal information;
  • where such processing is unlawful and you do not want Lora Hotel to delete your data;
  • where Lora Hotel no longer requires such data, but you want us to retain the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim; and
  • where you have submitted an objection to processing based on our legitimate business interests, pending our response to such request.

Where we limit the processing of your personal information pursuant to your request, we will inform you prior to re-engaging in such processing.

International Data Transfers

We use appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal information among our affiliates in various jurisdictions, and where required, we have implemented European Union controller-to-controller standard contractual clauses or other such safeguards for such purposes. To obtain a copy of theses clauses or additional information on transfers, you may send your request to: privacy@lorahotel.com.

SITE USAGE AND INFORMATION SECURITY

Secure Transmission

Because the security of your Personal Information is important to us, this Site uses encryption software, either through Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) or a comparable product, to enable secure transmission of data by encrypting it. The URL in your browser will change to “HTTPS” instead of “HTTP” when this security feature is invoked. Your browser may also display a lock or key symbol on its task bar to indicate invoked secure transmission. If these indicators are not present, information may be susceptible to interception by other parties. Even with SSL protection, it remains important to protect against unauthorized use of your login profile and password by taking standard precautionary measures (logging off; protecting passwords; etc.). Most Internet e-mail communication is not considered secure. If you are communicating sensitive information, consider sending it in by postal mail or contacting Lora Hotel by phone. Please bear in mind that “guaranteed security” does not exist, whether on or off the Internet. Even so, we strive to take appropriate administrative, procedural and technical safeguarding measures to protect your Personal Information.

However, eliminating cookie use may interfere with the function of some services available through the Site. By entering and using our Site, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.
