When you make a reservation or stay at Hotel ICON

Information we collect:
Directly From You: We collect information from you when you make a booking through our reservation system, stay at Hotel ICON, or respond to a survey. Information collected during the reservation and your stay may include:
  • Your name, email address, home and business address, phone number, nationality and payment card information; for some reservations we may also collect national ID/passport information on behalf of Hotel ICON where this is required by the hotel to comply with applicable local laws or by the hotel’s local policies.
  • Information relating to your membership in one of our services or programmes or those of our programme partners such as your Hotel ICON – ICON Engage membership number and
  • Information such as stay and room preferences made during your reservation such as your preferred room type and specific requests to the hotel.
If you provide personal information to us about other persons when making a booking or during your stay, for example, family members or colleagues, we ask you to make sure they are happy for their personal information to be shared with us and to direct them to read this Privacy Statement if they want to find out more about how we use their information.
From Other Sources: We also collect reservation information about you from other persons/entities, including, travel agents, websites not owned and operated by Hotel ICON, persons booking on your behalf (e.g., a family member, company representative), your employer, or other entity. We may obtain information about you from social media pages; for example, if you make a comment on Hotel ICON’s social media page or if you comment about Hotel ICON on a public social media feed. We use this information to improve our services to you and to other customers.
Automatically: We collect information about you automatically as you use our website, mobile app, our social media sites, interact with our other digital channels, and, in some instances, when we correspond with you through email. In these instances, information such as your country information, internet protocol (“IP”) address, device ID, medial access control address, your interactions with these channels, and other characteristics about your system or device may be automatically collected. This information is collected for functional purposes and to improve your experience when using these services. This information may also be used for fraud prevention, aggregated trend and statistical analysis, and for showing you more relevant advertisements and messages. More information on these practices can be found in the Hotel Website section below. We do not typically associate an IP address with your Hotel ICON – ICON Engage profile.
Special Hotel Programmes/Biometrics: At Hotel ICON, we are always seeking more ways to enhance your experience with us. A limited number of properties now offer a biometrics check-in process to eliminate your need to stand in line. Some properties also may allow room access through the collection of biometric information. These programmes are opt-in only, and any information that we collect through your participation will be used solely for the programme as described in the notice provided to you at the time of the opt-in.
 
How we use this information:
We use your information primarily to fulfil your hotel reservations and to provide and manage our Hotel ICON – ICON Engage membership programme. This may include communicating with you (e.g., sending a confirmation email) in advance of your stay. Following your stay, we may also send you post-stay communications and satisfaction surveys to get feedback on your experience.
Where we have your consent or as permitted under applicable law, we may send you marketing communications (which may include text messages or calls placed using autodialer technology) for products and services that we believe would be relevant for you. We also may use information related to you and your stays to display targeted advertisements on our websites, mobile apps, our other digital channels or on non-affiliated websites or mobile apps, or to send you more relevant messaging. Additionally, we aggregate your information with other guest information to complete trend and statistical analysis, which we use to evaluate and improve our products and services, plan new hotel locations and services, and for other market research.
We will indicate whether the requested information is mandatory; the failure to provide such information may impact our ability to and/or prevent us from providing certain services to you.
 
Who we disclose your information with:
We disclose your reservation information as follows:
  • Service Providers: We will disclose your information with service providers to provide services related to our business and to help us improve our products and services.

In certain instances, subject to local consent requirements, our service providers may also assist us with various marketing campaigns. These companies are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

We also share your stay information with other entities, which may include law enforcement, professional advisors, and other persons, in circumstances such as:

When you visit the Hotel Website

The Hotel is committed to safeguarding your privacy while visiting the Hotel websites, including, www.hotel-icon.com, (hereinafter all identified URLs are collectively referred to as the "Site"). Our goal is to provide you with an Internet experience that delivers the information, resources and Hotel ICON’s product feature, marketing, promotional, advertising and other consumer-related activities (the “Services”) that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, part of the operation of the Site includes the gathering of certain types of information about Site users. Because we understand that your privacy is important, we wish to explain the types of information we gather and the way in which we use it. 

 

This Privacy Policy covers two types of information gathered at the Site, personal and aggregated. The term "personal information" refers to data you voluntarily provide in connection with use of the Site that identifies you and/or the company on whose behalf you are accessing and using the Site. Personal information includes, e.g., data submitted in connection with our Services, such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, company affiliation, physical address and/or certain other personal information. The term "aggregated data" refers to general information regarding visitors and users of the Site that relates to use of the Site, e.g., traffic patterns, number of visits to certain pages, visits from other web sites or to third-party web sites linked to the Site, use of particular Services and interest in Services, information or features of the Site or other parties made available through or found at the Site.

 

When you access or use the Site, we automatically collect personal data about you, which includes log, device and location information. Hotel and our service providers use various technologies to collect information such as cookies and web beacons. For more information about cookies, and how to disable them, please see our Cookies Policy.

 

Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS)

Hotel ICON will collect the personal data from various sources of data subject (person). We respect personal data and are committed to implementing and complying with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as well as applicable local laws.

 

Transfer of personal data

The personal data collected may be disclosed to our agents, contractors, or third-party service providers who provide services to us in connection with the processing of the personal data on our behalf for the purposes (or any directly related purpose) outlined above on a need to know basis.

 

Your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside of Hong Kong where we are satisfied that adequate or comparable levels of protection are in place to protect personal data held in that jurisdiction, and (where we are required to do so) with your consent.

 

How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

The personal data collected may be disclosed to our agents, contractors, or third-party service providers who provide services to us in connection with the processing of the personal data on our behalf for the purposes (or any directly related purpose) outlined above on a need to know basis.

 

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which we collected your Personal Data and any other permitted linked purpose and in compliance with our data retention policies. For example, we will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to provide you Services, comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
 
Generally, we retain usage data for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Services, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
If your Personal Data is used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the longest retention period expires; but we will stop using it for the purpose with a shorter retention period once that period expires. Our retention periods are also based on our business needs and good practice.
 

 

Your rights to the personal data

You are entitled to the following rights: right to notice on data processing, right of rectification, right to erasure, right to restriction of processing and data portability, right to object to processing (including profiling). If you wish to do these, please e-mail media@hotel-icon.com.

 

Direct marketing

Hotel would use your name, e-mail address, phone number, and other relevant contact information to send you information that we think may be of interest to you, including about news updates for Hotel products and services, special events, offers and promotions. But we will not use your personal data for direct marketing without your consent. In deciding whether or not to join such mailing lists, electronic direct mails will provide an opt-out link as “Unsubscribe” instantly allowing you to choose not to participate in Hotel lists and future online marketing. Please note that they are only used for internal research, Hotel purposes or in joint promotions with a Hotel partner. Hotel will not sell or rent any of guests’ personal information with any other party, nor use it for unapproved commercial purposes. You may request to be removed from our lists at any time. All emails distributed to our lists will contain easy, online access to unsubscribe. We may use certain third-party email marketing service providers, such as Cendyn, to manage and send emails to you. Cendyn’s Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://www.cendyn.com/privacy-policy/

 

Permission for Use

The Hotel may collect and use personal information that you submit in any manner that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at the point you submit such personal information. At the time you submit personal information or make a request, the intended use of the information you submit will be apparent in the context in which you submit it. Except for direct marketing, submitting personal information, you are giving your consent and permission for any use that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at the point you submit such personal information, and such consent will be presumed by the Hotel, unless you state otherwise at the time you submit the personal information. Please do not request any such communications on behalf of an individual or company if you are not authorized to make the request.

 

Secure Reservations

If you decide to make an online reservation at the Site, you will be linked to a reservation interface and an online booking engine ("Booking Engine") provided by third party online reservation service provider. While it appears to be part of our site, the booking engine is in fact provided by a third party and is governed by its privacy practices. We understand that security remains the primary concern of online consumers and have chosen the Booking Engine Vendor carefully. The Booking Engine Vendor participates in the VeriSign Secure Site Program, a top security certification program, and has a VeriSign Secure Server ID. All information sent to this site, if in an SSL session, is encrypted, protecting against disclosure to third parties.

 

Protecting your Information

We would like our Site visitors to feel confident about using the Site to plan and purchase their accommodations, so Hotel is committed to protecting the information we collect. Hotel has implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access. Our Site is hosted in a secure environment. The Site servers/systems are configured with data encryption, or scrambling, technologies, and industry-standard firewalls. When you enter personal information during the reservation process, or during a customer email sign-up, your data is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure safe transmission.

 

Withdrawing Consent to Use

If, after permitting use of your personal information, you later decide that you no longer want the Hotel to include you on its mailing list or otherwise contact you or use your personal information in the manner disclosed in this Privacy Policy or at the Site, simply tell us by sending an e-mail, or by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our email communication to you. However, we may not be able to continue providing services to you if you entirely withdraw your consent or ask us to delete your personal data entirely.

 

Use of Aggregated Data

The Hotel is interested in improving the Site and may develop and offer new features and services. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of the Site for marketing purposes and to study, improve and promote use of the Site. In connection with such purposes, the Hotel may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal information about individual Site users in any way that identifies who they are or how to contact them.

 

Exceptions to the Privacy Policy

The Hotel has two exceptions to these limits on use of personal information:

The Hotel may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of Hotel from unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site.

 

The Hotel may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual. 

 

Children's Privacy & Parental Consent

Please be aware that Hotel has not designed this Site for, and does not intend for it to be used by, anyone under the age of 16. Accordingly, this Site should not be used by anyone under age 16 without the permission of parent or legal guardian. If you are under 16, please do not provide personal data of any kind whatsoever.. Should the Hotel inadvertently acquire personal data or other information from users under the age of 16, the Hotel will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the user under the age of16 used the Site and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from the Hotel. If you are in the EU member states, our online services are not directed at children under the age of 13. If you are at least 13 but under the age of 16, please get the consent of your parent or legal guardian before giving us any personal data about yourself. 

 

Links Provided To Other Sites

The Hotel may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as the Hotel. Therefore, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the actions of any third parties, including without limitation, any web site owners whose sites may be reached through this Site, nor can we control the activities of those web sites. We urge you to contact the relevant parties controlling these sites or accessing their on-line policies for the relevant information about their data collection practices before submitting any personal information or other sensitive data.

 

Your Consent to This Privacy Policy

Except for direct marketing, use of the Site signifies your consent, as well as the consent of the company for whom you use the Site and whose information you submit (if any), to this on-line Privacy Policy, including the collection and use of information by the Hotel, as described in this statement, and also signifies agreement to the terms of use for the Site. Continued access and use of the Site without acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy relieves the Hotel from responsibility to the user.

 

Policy Modifications & Contacting Hotel

The Hotel reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time; notice of changes will be posted to the Site so that you are always informed of the way we collect and use your personal data. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site so that you are able to check when the Privacy Policy was last amended. Changes will always be prospective, not retroactive. If you have questions about our policies, please contact dataprotectionofficer@hotel-icon.com or by post at 17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

 

Retention of Personal Data 

As required by law, we take reasonable steps to destroy, or de-identify or redact, personal data in a secure manner when we no longer need it for the purposes for which it was collected (as set out in this Privacy Policy) and retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes, subject to local laws and regulations. Data are purged from our electronic, manual and other filing systems based on the above criteria and our internal procedures.

 

Prevailing Policy

This privacy policy is available in Chinese and English versions. The English version is the governing version and shall prevail whether there is a discrepancy or conflict between the two versions.
