We collect and process your personal information in order to provide you the best experience possible when you interact with us.

There may be instances in which the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect is considered Sensitive Personal Information under the privacy laws of some countries or regions.

4 How We Collect Your Personal Information
We collect the above-referenced categories of personal information from the following categories of sources:
5 How We Use Your Information

When we process your personal information as one of our guests or someone else with whom we do business, we do so in our legitimate interests (as detailed above), because of legal obligations we are subject to, or because the information is required to fulfil contractual obligations either to you, to anyone involved in making your travel arrangements (e.g., travel agents, group travel organizers, or your employer) and/or to vendors (e.g., credit card companies, airline operators, and third party loyalty, travel, or discount programs).
Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel uses and retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is being processed, and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations and risk management guidelines.
6 Disclosures of your Personal Information
From time to time, we may disclose your personal information. We would always make that disclosure in accordance with applicable law. In some jurisdictions, data privacy laws may require us to obtain your consent before we transfer your information from your originating country to other countries. When you agree to this Policy, you are, to the extent required and permitted under your local law, granting your consent to the transfer of your personal information to such other countries for the purpose and to the extent stated in this section and as described in Section 5 above.
Circumstances where we might make such disclosure (in addition to those described in Section 5 above) include:
6.1 Our Agents, Service Providers, and Suppliers
Like most international hotel brands, we may outsource the processing of certain functions and/or information to third parties. When we do outsource the processing of your personal information to third parties or provide your personal information to third-party service providers, we oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures.
6.2 Consumer Insights
Where we hold personal information about you, we may disclose this personal information to other companies that also hold information about you. These companies may combine the information in order to better understand your preferences and interests, thereby enabling them and us to serve you better. If your personal information is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to that by contacting us using the contact information provided under Section 14 below. Further information about how we conduct direct marketing may be found at Section 10 below.
6.3 Credit Authorization
When you request credit, your personal information will be used and disclosed to appropriate third parties in accordance with applicable laws for the purpose of determining whether to grant and maintain a line of credit to you.
6.4 Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell hotels and other assets, or cease being the manager or franchisor of a Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Location. In those circumstances, we may include the personal information collected about you, or control of that personal information, as a business asset in any such transfer. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, personal information collected about you, or control of such information, may be one of the transferred assets.
6.5 E-Folio Program
If you are an employee or independent contractor of a company that participates in Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's E-Folio Program, and you use the corporate credit card that is provided to you by your employer (if you are an employee) or corporate client (if you are an independent contractor) to pay for your hotel bill at a Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel property, then you may benefit from Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's E-Folio Program.
Under the E-Folio Program, an extract of your bill (including the dates of your stay, your credit card details and amounts incurred at the Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel property including room charges and all incidental charges including but not limited to food, beverage, and entertainment charges) will be transferred electronically by the Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel property via Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's U.S.-based information system either to Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel or to a third-party service provider located in the United States who acts on Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's behalf to compile the extract and transfer it to:
the credit card network operator, the credit card issuer and/or their respective subcontractors, who will, in turn, forward that extract to your employer or corporate client (and/or their respective subcontractors) to facilitate the processing and tracking of your travel-related expenses;
or
in some limited circumstances, your employer or corporate client (and/or their respective subcontractors) directly for the same purpose.
The entities that receive the extract of your bill may be located in the United States, which does not have privacy laws that specifically address in detail all uses of personal information in the same way as in other parts of the world (notably Europe, Canada, Australia, South Africa and most of South America). In order to ensure the protection of your personal information, the transfer of that information to Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's U.S.-based information system will be governed by our binding corporate rules (where they apply to you - for more information about our binding corporate rules please see Section 14 below). The third party service provider who acts on Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's behalf to compile the extract will be subject to contractual provisions meeting the requirements of Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's binding corporate rules.
Once the personal information is transferred to the credit card network operator, credit card issuer, your employer or corporate client and/or their respective subcontractors, it is no longer subject to the protections described in this Policy, but rather your own arrangements with your employer or corporate client, the relevant credit card network operator and/or the relevant card issuer.
6.6 Legal Requirements
We reserve the right to disclose any personal information we have concerning you if we are compelled to do so by a court of law or lawfully requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we determine it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our rights or property in accordance with applicable laws. We also reserve the right to retain personal information collected and to process such personal information to comply with accounting and tax rules and regulations and any specific record retention laws.
7 International Transfers of Personal Information
Like most international businesses, we have centralized certain aspects of our data processing activities in accordance with applicable laws, which, in many instances, will result in the transfer of your personal information from one country to another. For example, if you make a reservation and/or stay at one of the Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Locations outside of the United States, the personal information gathered in that process will be transferred to and processed in the United States, in accordance with Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel's binding corporate rules (where they apply to you - for more information about our binding corporate rules please see Section 14 below). The jurisdictions where that information will be processed may or may not have laws that seek to preserve the privacy of personal information. Nevertheless, whenever your personal information is transferred within the Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel companies, your personal information will be processed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy and applicable laws. A list of the main Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Locations to which your personal information may be transferred, and the jurisdictions in which those entities are located, can be found by selecting “All” at Our hotel.
Additionally, some of the third party suppliers to which we transfer your personal information may be based in different locations, some of which may have lower standards of data protection than in your home country. When we do transfer personal information to such third parties, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, and oblige those third parties to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy, with appropriate security measures. These third parties broadly fall into two groups: (i) locally-provided suppliers supporting individual Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Locations or groups of Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Locations, who may operate in any of the countries in which Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel Locations operate; or (ii) centrally-procured service providers, supporting Dorrar Aleiman Royal Hotel as a whole, who may be located in our major business locations, in particular the United States (where we are headquartered), Switzerland and Hong Kong.
