ahotelinitaly.com - Privacy Policy

'Italian hotels - safely and simply' is our tag line; we understand that committing to a hotel booking in another country, using your own credit card, may well give you pause for thought, so we'd like to address any such concerns here.

Put simply, we will use every available means to protect personal information you submit during the booking procedure (see Security), we will not permanently store any of said personal information (unless you choose to register with us), aside from your email address which we'll need to enable you to make cancellations, and neither will we disclose any of this information to third parties other than the hotel booking provider themselves. The hotel booking provider will be passed all information submitted by you at the time of the reservation (securely encrypted), at which time their own relevant Terms and Conditions will apply.
By providing any personally identifiable information to us, you fully understand and clearly consent to the transfer of such personally identifiable information to, and the collection and processing of such information in, other countries or territories. Any such transfer and processing by us will be in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By viewing and using this site your are accepting and consenting to the practices described on this page, as well as our Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time without notice and at our discretion. It is your responsibility to review this page for updates which shall come into immediate effect once posted. This Website is made available by Ganzo Ltd and its subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies and any of their related businesses are referred to in this Privacy Policy as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’.

Cookies, IP numbers and sessions

Our web server automatically logs the IP/Internet address of your computer, but this information does not identify you personally and you remain anonymous unless you have otherwise provided ahotelinitaly.com with personal information. The site, by default, uses what are known as session only cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server that enables interactivity and continuity between browser and server. They are commonly used to store such things as registration details and user preferences so that a website may recognise return visitors and customise the site environment accordingly, and this is what we shall do should you explicitly choose to register with us. Should you not register with us, all session cookies (which contain a Session ID only) will be dropped by your browser when you close it.

Third parties

ahotelinitaly.com uses third parties for reservation services. These service providers require information about you and your travel requirements, in addition to your credit card information, when required to process and confirm your travel reservation. These service providers will necessarily disclose information about your travel requirements to hotels with whom you have made a reservation. This information must be shared with our affiliates and travel suppliers to confirm your reservation and travel preferences. All information relayed to said third parties is done so via encrypted, secure web-based traffic. (Security)

We would recommend you study the privacy statements of any affiliate or travel supplier with whom you have made reservations through ahotelinitaly.com. Please note, you may be contacted directly by such suppliers to confirm your reservation. You will also be emailed after your hotel stay is complete to request that you answer a few simple questions relating to your stay. This is entirely voluntary, and should you choose to respond, your answers may well be reproduced on ahotelinitaly.com in the form of a hotel review.

Although such third party providers may have access to your personally identifiable information for the purposes set out above, they may not use that personally identifiable information for any other purpose and are required to process your information in accordance with the appropriate local Data Protection Act.

Legal obligations

We may be required by law to disclose information you have provided in the good-faith belief that such action is required by law or to comply with legal process served on us or to protect and defend our rights or property and our interests or the interests of our customers or users of the site or the public.
