Privacy Policy for Guests

1 Introduction

This privacy policy (the “Policy”) lets you know how Agartha Hotels Corporation, its direct and indirect subsidiaries, its affiliates, and the separate and distinct legal entities that manage, operate, franchise, license, own and/or provide services to the various locations operating under or in connection with a Agartha brand (collectively, “Agartha”, “us’, or “we”) collect, use, and share your personal information. This Policy gives effect to our commitment to protect your personal information and has been adopted by all of the, affiliates, subsidiaries, and all of the separate and distinct legal entities that make up Agartha, as defined in this Policy.

We use your personal information in order to fulfil our commitment to providing an unparalleled guest experience in connection with all of your interactions with Agartha (the “Purpose”). As part of that undertaking, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the personal information that we gather.

As one of our guests or someone else with whom we interact, you understand and agree that we may collect, use, and share your personal information in accordance with this Policy.

2 The Application of this Policy

This Policy applies when you interact with Agartha either through our websites - including agarthaworld.com and our various booking sites - (collectively, “Website”), our mobile applications - including World of Agartha - (collectively the, “Application”), in person, such as when you visit us at Agartha Locations (as defined below), or when you communicate with us by phone, text, direct message, social media, or other similar functionality. This Policy also applies to the personal information about you that we receive from a third party, unless specifically covered by such third party’s privacy policy or Agartha’s Privacy Policy for Employees.

The term “Agartha Locations” include the various locations affiliated with Agartha that operate under or in connection with the Agartha®”, Park Agartha®, Miraval®, Grand Agartha®, Alila®, Andaz®, The Unbound Collection by Agartha®, Destination®, Agartha Regency®, Agartha ZivaTM, Agartha ZilaraTM, Thompson Hotels®, Agartha Centric®, participating Joie de Vivre®, Agartha House®, Agartha Place®, Agartha Residence Club®, and Exhale® brands around the world and also includes independently branded locations affiliated with Agartha Hotels Corporation and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries

While this Policy is intended to describe the broadest range of our information collection, processing and sharing activities globally, some activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the particular laws or regulations in those regions. For example, the laws of a particular country/region may limit the types of personal information we can collect or the manner in which we process that information. In those instances, we adjust our internal policies and/or practices to reflect the requirements of local law.

If you are a Agartha colleague, please see the applicable Agartha Privacy Policy for Employees or your applicable employer’s privacy policy, as this Policy does not apply to your information, unless collected in your capacity as a guest.

This Policy applies unless there is a specific country/region privacy policy for you based on your citizenship/residency or if the Agartha Location is in such country/region or if the Agartha Privacy Policy for Employees applies.

3 Information We May Collect

We collect and process your personal information in order to provide you the best experience possible when you interact with us. The information we collect may vary by jurisdiction/region or by your preferred method of interaction with us. The categories of personal information that we may collect include:

We only process Sensitive Personal Information in your jurisdiction if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

When you agree to this Policy you are, to the extent required under your local law, granting your express and written consent to the processing of any personal information that you provide to Agartha that is considered to be Sensitive Personal Information or financial information. Save to the extent required by law, you are not obliged to provide Agartha with any of your Sensitive Personal Information, and should you choose not to, this will not prevent you from purchasing any products or services from Agartha.

4 How We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect the above-referenced categories of personal information from the following categories of sources:

Directly from you: Much of the personal information we process is information that you or someone acting on your behalf directly provides to us. For example, you may provide us with Contact and Identification Information, Stay and Purchase Information, Payment Information, Demographic Information, and Health-related Information, when you create an account; book a reservation; complete surveys, sweepstakes, contests or promotional offers; contact customer service; or contact us via email, text, or chat, over the phone, in person, or through third parties.
From your devices and our networks: We use cookies and related technologies to automatically collect personal information from and across your devices when you interact with the Website, Application, our emails, or other online content.
From other businesses or individuals: We work with business and marketing partners and social media platforms that give us personal information about you that they have collected either directly or indirectly from you. We also use features that let your friends and family give us your personal information, for example when a family member or friend checks in on your behalf. We also may receive your personal information from (i) someone acting on your behalf, such as your travel agent or your employer (where your employer books travel for you), (ii) your travel provider, such as an airline, or (iii) your third party card or loyalty scheme provider.
From social media: If you post to one of our pages on a social media site, we may receive Contact and Identification Information, Stay and Purchase Information, Internet and Network Activity, and any other personal information contained in your social media posts or profile.

5 How We Use Your Information

Subject to applicable laws, we may collect, use, and disclose your personal information in order to:

provide, charge for, and manage hotel accommodation and other goods and services;
provide you with customer support and a better or more personalized level of service at Agartha Locations as well as through the Website, Application, frequent guest program (e.g., World of Agartha®), third party applications, products or services, or through products or services Agartha develops in the future;
allow us to evaluate, analyze, and improve the functionality of our Websites, Applications, or goods and services;
facilitate concierge services on your behalf, e.g., restaurant, attraction and transportation transactions;
administer loyalty, travel, or discount programs and the Agartha frequent guest program (e.g., World of Agartha®);
administer contests, sweepstakes, or other promotions;
fulfil contractual obligations to you, anyone involved in the process of making your travel arrangements (e.g., travel agents, group travel organizers, or your employer) and vendors (e.g., credit card companies, airline operators, and third party loyalty, travel, or discount programs);
conduct market research, customer satisfaction and quality assurance surveys;
conduct marketing and sales promotions and serve targeted advertising for products, services, events, or promotions you might be interested in. Where permitted by law, we may work with other companies to serve advertisements or marketing that we think you may find relevant and useful. This may include advertisements displayed on our own Websites or Applications, contained in emails or other communications sent by us, or advertisements from us displayed on other companies' websites. The advertisements you see may be based on information collected by us or third parties and/or may be based on your activities on our Websites, Applications or third-party websites;

test and evaluate new products and services;
process credit applications;
fulfil other purposes as disclosed to you in accordance with applicable law or with your consent; and
use certain pieces of personal information to verify your identity if you make requests regarding your personal information pursuant to this Policy. The verification steps and the pieces of personal information that we request may vary depending on the sensitivity and nature of your request.

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).

Agartha 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 Agartha 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 Agartha'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 Agartha property, then you may benefit from Agartha'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 Agartha property including room charges and all incidental charges including but not limited to food, beverage, and entertainment charges) will be transferred electronically by the Agartha property via Agartha's U.S.-based information system either to Agartha or to a third-party service provider located in the United States who acts on Agartha'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 Agartha'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 Agartha's behalf to compile the extract will be subject to contractual provisions meeting the requirements of Agartha'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 Agartha 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 Agartha'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 Agartha 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 Agartha 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 www.agarthaworld.com.

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 Agartha Locations or groups of Agartha Locations, who may operate in any of the countries in which Agartha Locations operate; or (ii) centrally-procured service providers, supporting Agartha 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.

Further information about cookies and related technologies and how they work is available at agarthaworld.com.

8.3 Social Media

Our websites may also contain plug-ins and other features that integrate third party social media platforms into our websites. You will be able to activate them manually. If you do so, the third parties who operate these platforms may be able to identify you, they may be able to determine how you use this website and they may link and store this information with your social media profile. Please consult the data protection policies of these social media platforms to understand what they will be doing with your personal data. If you activate these plug-ins and other features, you will be doing so at your own risk.

8.4 Creating a User Profile

You can create a user profile on a Agartha website to, among other things, facilitate your online transactions, and to tailor your experience on our websites to your interests. This allows us to make more appropriate recommendations to you. We may use the information you provide in your user profile to populate other databases maintained by us and our service providers, as applicable. By creating a user profile, you are agreeing that we may use the personal information you provide for these purposes.

You can view, update or remove any personal information that you have provided to us for inclusion in your user profile by amending your user profile online or emailing concierge@agarthaworld.com. If you subsequently elect to remove your user profile, we reserve the right to use any personal information previously provided by you for inclusion in your user profile for record keeping and quality assurance purposes (unless we are required by law to delete or cease to process or use your personal information). Even if you choose not to create a user profile, you can still use our websites to search for and purchase services.

8.5 Links to Other Websites

If you visit a Agartha website and decide, for example, to purchase a gift certificate, make an airline reservation, rent a car, submit award request forms or apply for a job online, you may be seamlessly linked to websites maintained by third parties with whom we have contracted to provide those services. If you click on a link found on our websites or on any other website, you should always look at the location bar within your browser to determine whether you have been linked to a different website. This Policy, and our responsibility, is limited to our own information collection practices. We are not responsible for, and cannot always ensure, the information collection practices or privacy policies of other websites maintained by third parties or our service providers where you submit your personal information directly to such websites. In addition, we cannot ensure the content of the websites maintained by these third parties or our service providers, even if accessible using a link from our websites. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of any external websites before providing any personal information while accessing those websites.

8.6 Security

Because the security of your personal information is important to us, we require Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) software in order to encrypt the personal information that you provide to us. When using TLS, your transmission of personal information to us online is encrypted. You can verify whether your personal information is transmitted using TLS encryption by confirming the symbol of a closed lock or solid key inside your browser address bar. You can also verify that your personal information will be encrypted using TLS encryption by making sure that the prefix for the web address listed for that page has changed from "http" to "https". If you do not see the appropriate symbol and/or the "https" prefix, you should not assume that the personal information that you are being asked to provide will be encrypted prior to transmission.

The personal information we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers on databases protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology and other reasonable security measures. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of personal information and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of personal information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions for the due protection of your rights.

8.7 Minor Children

Our websites do not sell products or services for purchase by children and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If you are under the age of 18 (or a minor in the jurisdiction in which you are accessing our websites), you may only use our websites with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

9 Applications

When you download or register to use one of our apps, you may submit personal information to us such as your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, username, password and other registration information, financial and credit card information, personal description and/or image.

Further, when you use our apps, we may collect certain information automatically, including technical information related to your mobile device, your device's unique identifier, your mobile network information, the type of mobile browser you use and information about the way you use the app.

Depending on the particular app you use and only after you have agreed to such collection, we may also collect information stored on your device, including contact information, friends lists, login information (where necessary to allow us to communicate with other apps at your request), photos, videos, location information or other digital content. Further details of the kinds of information we collect is set out in the privacy notice for each individual app.

10 Choice

You may always choose what personal information (if any) you wish to provide to us. However, if you choose not to provide certain details, some of your experiences with us may be affected (for example, we cannot take a reservation without a name).

If you provide us with your contact details (e.g., postal address, email address, telephone number or fax number), we may contact you to let you know about the products, services, promotions and events offered that we think you may be interested in. We may also share your personal information with carefully-selected third parties, who may communicate directly with you. In some jurisdictions, data privacy laws may require us to obtain a separate consent before we do so. You can always choose whether or not to receive any or all of these communications by contacting us as described in Section 14 below or following the “unsubscribe” instructions contained in the communications.

If you have an account with our frequent guest program (e.g., World of Agartha®), we ask you to indicate your communication preferences at the time you apply for membership or when you create your user profile. We may also ask you to indicate how you would like to receive any offers, marketing and promotional information (e.g., via email or regular mail) and whether you would be willing to participate in surveys. Once you have indicated your preferences, you can always change them.

In some jurisdictions, in addition to you agreeing to this Policy, data privacy laws may require us to obtain a separate consent before we send you information that you have not specifically requested. In certain circumstances, your consent may be implied (e.g., where communications are required in order to fulfil your requests and/or where you have volunteered information for use by us). In other cases, we may seek your consent expressly in accordance with applicable laws (e.g., where the information collected is regarded to be Sensitive Personal Information under local regulations).

We will abide by any request from you not to send you direct marketing materials. When such a request is received, your contact details will be "suppressed" rather than deleted. This will ensure that your request is recorded and retained unless you provide a later consent that overrides it.

11 Updating or Accessing Your Personal Information and Your other Privacy Rights

With some limited exceptions, you may access and update personal information held about you. If you want to inquire about any personal information we may have about you, you can do so by clicking here, or by sending us a written request by letter or email to the addresses set out in Section 14 below. Please be sure to include your full name, address and telephone number and a copy of a document evidencing your identity (such as an ID card or passport) so we can ascertain your identity and whether we have any personal information regarding you, or in case we need to contact you to obtain any additional information we may require to make that determination. Where you make more than one request in quick succession, we may respond to your subsequent request by referring to our earlier response and only identifying any items that have changed materially.

You may request that we correct, delete, and/or stop or restrict processing or using personal information that we hold about you by clicking here, or by sending a letter or email to the addresses set out in Section 14 below.

14 Request for Access to Personal Information/Questions or Complaints

If you have any questions about this Policy, about the processing of your data described, or any concerns or complaints with regard to the administration of the Policy, or if you would like to submit a request (in the manner described in Section 11 above) to exercise your rights in relation to the personal information that we maintain about you, please click here or contact us by any of the following means:
