WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT
We will collect your name, IDENTIFICATION CARD NUMBER (or other IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS, such as PASSPORT) and status, telephone number, check-in and check-out time.

The Booking Engines are contracted to collect and provide the Reservation Information to us for purposes of making and managing your reservations at the Hotel. However, they are separately owned and operated from us, and therefore this Privacy Policy does not pertain to the policies and practices of such Booking Engines. Please consult the privacy policies of relevant Booking Engines regarding their policies and practices with respect to the Personal Information they collect and process in providing these reservation services.
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES REGARDING SUCH BOOKING ENGINES, ANY THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE BOOKING ENGINES OR THEIR INFORMATION SECURITY OR PRIVACY PRACTICES.
