Your privacy is our concern

THE HOTELS NETWORK, S.L.P (hereinafter collectively and individually referred to as "THN", "us", "our" and "we"), is a technology company specialised in offering services to hotels and hotel chains to boost their online bookings.

We consider privacy to be paramount, both for visitors of our website https://www.thehotelsnetwork.com/en (hereinafter, the “website”) and for anyone else that may be affected by information provided to us through our website, whose data are processed by THN as part of the provision of service (hereinafter and jointly “you” and the “user”, and the plural “you” and the “users”). In this regard, THN undertakes to process your data in compliance with the applicable and in-force data protection legislation at all times. More specifically, THN shall comply with the premises established in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, also known as the General Data Protection Regulation, repealing Directive 95/46/EC (GDPR), and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the protection of personal data and the guarantee of digital rights (LOPDGDD).

On this basis, THN publishes its Privacy Policy in order to make users aware of the processing of their data and the applicable fundamental principles on personal data protection. Despite this, certain services provided, or services that may be provided in the future, on the website may contain specific conditions of use with provisions for personal data protection, which prevail over this Privacy Policy.

Regarding the foregoing, we urge all users to closely read this Privacy Policy in order to become familiar with the rules and practices that we have developed in order to protect personal data and to get to know more about our relationships with third parties that may have access to your data.

In any case, the user is solely responsible for the information that they provide us with via the website and, if THN wished to use it in the future for purposes other than those referred to, we will inform you of these new purposes and request your consent, if required.

On using our website, you admit to having read and accepted this Privacy Policy and our Legal Notice.
