INFORMATION OBLIGATION
The protection of personal data of natural persons in Portugal is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”) and by Law No. 58/2019 of 8 August, which ensure the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data.
“Personal data” means any information, of any nature and regardless of its medium, including sound and image, relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Therefore, this protection does not apply to data relating to legal entities.
An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity (for example, name associated with a telephone number or email address).
By reading this Privacy Policy, the User is informed about the processing of their personal data carried out by ZH Hotel S.A. through the ZH Hotel S.A. website.
