Additional terms apply to your use of our digital channels whether or not you make a reservation through them. These are published on the relevant digital channel.

10. Cancellation

Your right to cancel

Flex rate room bookings may be cancelled up to 24 hours on the arrival date. If you cancel your reservation up to 24 hours on the day of arrival and have paid for the room in advance by debit/credit card, a full refund will be processed to the same debit/credit card normally before 9am the next working day though it may take a few days for the funds to reach your account. A cancellation reference will be given and should be retained as proof of cancellation.

If you cancel a reservation on the day of arrival (including any "no show") and have not already paid for the room in advance you will be charged a cancellation charge equivalent to 50% of the total charges reserved for the duration of your stay. A cancellation reference will be given and should be retained as proof of cancellation.

If you decide to shorten your stay you must inform reception at the Kingfisher Hotel that you are staying in within 24 hours or 11am on the day you wish to check out. Otherwise you will be charged a cancellation charge equivalent to one night’s total accommodation per room booked and for any meals and other extras booked for the following day.  

Any ‘no show’ will be charged at 100% of the charges reserved.

Non-Flex rate room bookings may be cancelled within 24 hours of making a booking and are non-refundable under all circumstances.

 If you’ve made a group booking, our cancellation terms are as follows:

·         For 4 rooms or fewer, we’ll need full payment 14 days before arrival. This is non-refundable, but you can cancel your booking free of charge if you do so before this time.

·          For 5 rooms or more, we’ll need a 50% deposit 28 days before arrival and the balance 14 days before arrival. These payments are non-refundable, but you can cancel your booking free of charge if you do so before we take a deposit.

Where you cancel (including any “no show”) a group booking and there is a non-refundable payment retained by us, this total amount is a cancellation charge to compensate the hotel for the cancellation and is not for any service. 

 

Our right to cancel

Your breach

We may cancel your reservation at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice (which includes email) if:

·         you do not pay us when you are required to do so; or

If we cancel your reservation where you are at fault, we reserve our legal rights in respect of your breach of contract. Where your stay had/has not yet commenced, the total payment made or to be made by you for such room shall be deemed a cancellation charge and is not for any service.

 

Events outside our control

We may also cancel your reservation if an event outside of our control (including industrial action, explosion, fire, flooding, and failure of power and/or water supplies or emergency evacuation) means that we are unable to make your room available to you.

·         if you have already paid for your room, we will refund your payment to you; or

·         if you have not yet paid for your room, you will not have to make any payment to us.

Kingfisher Country Club Ltd is the representative of Kingfisher Hotel. 

 

Service Providers

For some activities Kingfisher Hotel uses third party service providers including where we are joint controllers. Your personal data will be disclosed to such organisations where this is necessary to provide a service to you, or where it is in our legitimate interests. For example, we use third parties to:

 

o administer bookings;  provide Wi-Fi;  undertake customer feedback surveys; provide analytics;  send promotional offers; provide personalised advertisements; provide insurance;  provide IT development, support, maintenance and hosting, including the provision of applications and website hosting; process payments to enable you to pay by credit or debit card;  provide credit checks and fraud checks; and provide CCTV systems and maintenance.

We disclose your personal data to payment providers, technology providers, insurers, and other specialist professional and technical advisers to manage your bookings, arrange payments and provide services.

With your consent, we will also disclose your personal data to Ombudsman services and Citizens’ Advice.

 

Restructure and sale

We may restructure our internal group of companies so that different group companies run our hotels and related services. So, for example, in the future Kingfisher Country Club Ltd (or another group company) may take over responsibility for the running and operation of hotels from Kingfisher Hotel. If this happens we will let you know and your data may be shared with such company and processed as set out in this notice.

 

In the event that the business is sold or integrated with another business, your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

 

 

International transfers

Sometimes we may need to send or store your data outside of the European Economic Area (the EU plus Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway) (‘EEA’).  For example, to follow your instructions, comply with a legal duty or to work with or receive services from our service providers who we use to help run your accounts and our services.

 

If we do transfer information outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected by using one of these safeguards:

 

• Transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA. Some countries have been deemed adequate by the EU.

• Put in place a contract with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA or use other mechanisms and measures to achieve adequate protection. We also may use the Standard Contractual Clauses published by the EU.

 • Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This framework sets privacy standards for data sent between EU countries and the US. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA. 

 • Binding corporate rules. These are internal rules adopted by group companies to allow international transfers of personal data to entities within the same corporate group located in countries which do not provide an adequate level of protection. 

 

Business Account

 

If you apply for a Business Account a separate Privacy Notice will also apply. Further information is available by contacting us by telephone directly on 01908 562332.  

 

Significant automated decision-making

 

Like many businesses we use business rules on financial and other information in order to detect and prevent fraud. When used, these may identify a risk and, as a result, a particular transaction may not be processed.

 

9.

 

What rights do I have?

 

Withdrawing consent or otherwise objecting to direct marketing.

Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent.  We will continue to process your personal data for other purposes on a different lawful basis (other than consent) where that applies.

 

In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent where we rely on our legitimate interests.  You have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing and any profiling we carry out for direct marketing, at any time. You can do this by clicking on the 'unsubscribe' link located in the footer of every marketing email or text. 

 

Other qualified rights

• You have the right to know whether or not we process information about you and to access that information.

• You have the right to update, correct and complete any information we hold about you which is inaccurate or incomplete.

• You have the right to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a commonly used, structured and machine-readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this personal data to another controller.

• You have the right to ask that we erase or restrict (stop active) processing of your personal data.

• In addition, you can object to the processing where the lawful basis is our legitimate interests.

 

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person or you ask us to erase information which we are required by law to keep.  Where you object to us processing personal information we may have a compelling justification for processing it.  Relevant exemptions are also included within the data protection laws that apply in the UK.  We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below. If you have concerns, you have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority of the EU Member State in which you are resident, work or in which your complaint arises. In the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner. Details of all EU supervisory authorities can be found at:

How long will you retain my personal data?

 

We keep your data to enable us to fulfil our contract with you or to provide services, where required by law, to respond to a question or complaint, to obey rules about keeping records, to uphold or protect contractual or legal rights or where it is in your or another party’s vital interests or our legitimate interests. Where we process personal data on the basis of your consent, we will retain it only for as long as required for the specified purpose. We also keep your data in line with any statutory limitation periods and for tax, legal or regulatory purposes.

The period for which we will retain your personal data depends on the purposes for which we are processing it and where the same personal data is processed for two or more purposes, we will retain it for the longest period.  For example, we retain:

• CCTV recording for up to 31 days;

• for up to 1 year incoming and outgoing voice recordings (although we will keep a record of any consent you give us during a call for as long as we rely on it as the lawful basis for processing);

• for up to 25 months from your last stay, any personal data we process for managing your hotel or restaurant bookings;

• for up to 36 months after it is resolved, any personal data we process in relation to queries, complaints or feedback (other than market research surveys) relating to your hotel or restaurant booking; 

 • until a period of 3 years has elapsed since your last interaction with us, personal data we process for marketing (including profiling) purposes, unless you ask us to stop sending electronic direct marketing, in which case we will act on your request, and then keep a record of your request indefinitely;

 • for 3 years in the case of accident report forms (or for accidents relating to a child, for 3 years after the child’s 18th birthday); 

 • for up to 6 years from your last stay or access to your account, any personal data in an account you have set up with us, for example a My Kingfisher Account or Business Booker Account; 

 • for up to 6 years, financial and transactional data for the purposes of insights and analytics; and

 • for up to 7 years, financial information for accounting, business reporting, analysis and audit purposes.

 

In any of the cases mentioned above, we may retain the personal data for longer, if it is required for the purposes of any internal or external investigation or litigation. In these cases, it may be retained until the matter is resolved.  We may keep your data for longer in line with any limitation periods, or if we cannot delete it, e.g. for tax, legal or regulatory reasons.

You have the qualified right to request deletion of your personal data at any time, or we may choose or be obliged to erase your personal data earlier, for example if we no longer need to process it.
