Privacy policy

Information we collect

We collect both personal and non-personal information in various ways, including but not limited to:

Personal Information:

Contact Information: Name, physical residential address, email address, phone number.

Booking Information: Arrival and departure dates, room preferences, payment information.

Identification: Government-issued identification information, including passport, national identity card, or driver's licence details, as applicable. Guests are required to provide valid identification during check-in. We may collect information contained in the identification document, including document type, document number, nationality, date of birth, and other information necessary to verify the guest's identity and comply with applicable legal requirements.

Identity Verification Photograph: As part of our check-in and identity verification process, guests are required to provide a photograph of their face. The verification photograph is used to confirm the identity of the person checking in, reduce the risk of identity fraud or the use of stolen personal information, protect our property, and assist us in identifying the responsible guest in the event of damage, non-payment, fraud, or other misuse of our accommodation services.

Special Requests: Dietary restrictions, accessibility requirements, or other preferences.

Non-Personal Information:

Usage Data: Information about your interactions with our website, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the duration of your visit.

Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze website traffic. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

How we use your information

We use the collected information for various purposes, including but not limited to:

Processing Reservations: To facilitate your bookings and manage your stay.

Guest Services: To provide personalized services and respond to your requests and inquiries.

Payment Processing: To process payments and prevent fraudulent transactions.

Guest Registration and Identity Verification: To comply with legal requirements applicable to accommodation providers, verify the identity of guests, maintain required guest registration information, and prevent persons from checking in using false, stolen, or unauthorised identity information.

Property Protection and Damage Claims: To protect LUX Hotel, our apartments and other property against damage, theft, fraud, misuse, and non-payment, and where necessary to identify the responsible guest, document an incident, issue or pursue a payment claim, recover losses, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Marketing Communications: With your consent, to send promotional offers, newsletters, and updates.

Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Our legal bases for processing personal data may include:

compliance with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, including mandatory guest registration and identity verification requirements;

performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR where processing is necessary to manage your reservation, stay, payments, and related services;

our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, including preventing identity fraud, preventing misuse of our accommodation services, protecting our property, investigating damage or non-payment, establishing the identity of responsible persons, recovering amounts owed to us, and establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims;

your consent where consent is required, including for certain marketing communications.

Mandatory Check-In Information
In order to complete check-in, guests may be required to provide the personal information necessary for guest registration and identity verification, including their full physical residential address, valid passport or other accepted government-issued identification document, and a verification photograph of their face.
Where the information is required by law or is necessary for us to securely provide accommodation and verify the identity of the person using the reservation, failure to provide the required information may mean that we are unable to complete the check-in process or provide access to the accommodation.
Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention
We have implemented identity verification measures because accommodation services may be exposed to identity fraud, reservations made using another person's information, non-payment, damage to apartments, theft, and other misuse.
Identification information and verification photographs are used to establish that the person checking in corresponds to the identity information provided to us. They may also be used where necessary to investigate a specific incident, establish responsibility for damage or outstanding amounts, communicate with competent authorities when legally permitted or required, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We do not use identification documents or verification photographs for advertising or marketing purposes.
Storage in Mews
We use Mews, our property management system, to process and store reservation, guest, identity verification, payment-related, and other information necessary to operate LUX Hotel. Mews acts as a data processor when processing personal data on our behalf and may use approved subprocessors to provide its services.
Personal data stored through Mews is subject to appropriate contractual, organisational, and technical safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. Where personal data is processed outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law will be used.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal obligations, management of reservations and payments, accounting requirements, fraud prevention, and the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. Different categories of personal information may therefore be subject to different retention periods.
Verification photographs collected during check-in and stored in Mews are retained for a maximum of 30 days and are then deleted.
Guest registration information, identification details, physical residential address, reservation information, payment records, and other information may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, recover outstanding amounts, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We periodically review the personal information we retain and delete or anonymise information when there is no longer a lawful and necessary reason to retain it.
Information Sharing

We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in delivering our services, such as payment processors, property management and identity verification service providers, including Mews, IT support, and marketing agencies. Such providers process personal information only for authorised purposes and subject to applicable contractual and data protection requirements.

Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or respond to lawful requests from authorities.

Prevention of Fraud and Legal Claims: Where necessary and legally permitted, relevant personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities, courts, legal advisers, debt collection providers, insurers, payment providers, or other appropriate parties for the prevention or investigation of fraud, recovery of unpaid amounts or damages, or establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

Consent: Where processing or sharing is based on your consent, we will obtain the required consent before such processing or sharing takes place. Certain disclosures do not require consent where another lawful basis applies, for example where disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or pursue a legitimate interest permitted under applicable data protection legislation.

Data Security
We implement reasonable measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
Access to identification information and verification photographs is limited to persons and service providers who require access for authorised operational, security, legal, or technical purposes.
Your Rights
Subject to the conditions and limitations established by applicable data protection legislation, you may have the right to:

request access to personal information we hold about you;

request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information;

request deletion of personal information where there is no lawful basis for its continued retention;

request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;

object to processing based on our legitimate interests;

request data portability where applicable;

withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal;

lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).

Some information cannot be deleted immediately where we are legally required, or otherwise legally entitled, to retain it.
