iBeacon iBeacons are electronic devices that broadcast signals that can be received by mobile devices on which one of our mobile apps is installed. If you have voluntarily installed one of our apps on your device, and if you have granted permission for the app to track your location, then iBeacons installed in our hotels may send a signal to the app on your device about the precise, real-time location of the device. The app may use this information to deliver special offers and promotions to you, at a time and place when the information is most relevant. For example, if you are in one of our hotels late in the afternoon, your mobile device may receive a signal from an iBeacon that causes the app to notify you about drink or dinner specials. As a convenience to you, receipt of the iBeacons signal and delivery of the special offer or promotion may occur even if you are not currently using the app. To make our mobile apps and services operate better, we may also collect other information based on iBeacon signals, for example, the strength of the signal between the iBeacon and your device, the duration your device is near the iBeacon, or the battery level of the iBeacon itself. To avoid having us receive or use your precise, real-time location, do not opt in to location services. If you did opt in and have changed your mind, you may opt out of location services through your device settings or by deleting the app.

If you do not indicate that you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, we are not able to process and maintain your Personal Data under these requirements and will not be liable for that. You are solely responsible for indicating the country of your citizenship. Information containing Personal Data of Russian citizens may be transmitted from the Russian Federation to countries that ensure an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, including member states of the European Union and other countries which Russian law recognizes as ensuring adequate to protection, and also to other countries that may not ensure adequate level of protection for Personal Data. By submitting information to us on our sites and apps, submitting forms to us, or registering on our sites, programs and apps, or making reservations, you grant us consent to process your Personal Data.
SECURITY MEASURES
Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented in order to ensure an appropriate level of security of your Personal Data, including but not limited to encryption techniques, physical and IT system access controls, obligations of confidentiality, etc.
In the event Personal Data is compromised as a result of a Personal Data Breach we will make the necessary notifications, as required under applicable laws.
WHAT RULES APPLY TO CHILDREN?
We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to book a room in one of our hotels.
In the event we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent, steps will be taken promptly to remove that information. If you believe that we have or may have information from or about a child under 18 years of age, please contact us at privacyquestion@radissonhotels.com.
HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES?
We only share or disclose information as described herein, including with Third Parties.
Your Personal Data will also be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of the Controller(s) legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws. In addition, we may share your Personal Data and other information with a successor to all or part of our business, where this is in our legitimate interests in facilitating a business sale and in this context our business interests prevail over yours. For example, if parts of our business or assets are sold, we may disclose user information as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the data that we collect from you as described in this Privacy Policy may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the EEA, including for the purposes of processing that data by selected Processors, in order to facilitate the Radisson Hotel Group’s business. Countries outside the EEA may not have laws which provide the same level of protection to your Personal Data as laws within the EEA. Where this is the case we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that such transfers comply with EU Privacy Law, either by putting in place Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate protection or by ensuring that the transfer is done to an organization that complies with Privacy Shield in case the transfer is made to the United States of America.
In this respect, please note that Radisson Hospitality, Inc. adheres to the E.U.-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. In compliance with the E.U.-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, Radisson Hospitality, Inc. commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your Personal Data.
Radisson Hospitality, Inc. has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the E.U.-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shields to the American Arbitration Association, http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html. Finally, in certain limited circumstances and as a last resort, it may be possible for individuals to invoke binding arbitration before the Privacy Shield Panel to be created by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission.
Please note that if you are not a European Union or Switzerland resident, then Privacy Shield requirements regarding the handling of complaints may not apply to you and Privacy Shield enforcement mechanisms may not be available to you.
In case you wish to obtain more details about our data transfer safeguards and the mechanisms in place, you may contact us at privacyquestion@radissonhotels.com.
HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We retain your Personal Data for as long as is required to fulfil the activities set out in this Privacy Policy, for as long as otherwise communicated to you or for as long as is permitted by applicable law. For example, we may retain your Personal Data if it is reasonably necessary to comply with any legal obligations, meet any regulatory requirements, resolve any disputes or litigation, or as otherwise needed to enforce this Privacy Policy and prevent fraud and abuse.
To determine the appropriate retention period for the information we collect from you, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the Personal Data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
