- THE ENNISMORE GROUP’S COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING PRIVACY
We consider you an important customer. Our first priority is to offer you exceptional stays and experiences throughout the world.
Your complete satisfaction and confidence in Ennismore Group is absolutely essential to us.
This policy formalizes our commitments to you and describes how the Ennismore Group uses your personal data.
- SCOPE OF APPLICATION
- In this policy, “Ennismore Group” means:
- Ennismore Lifestyle Group Limited, a private limited company, registered with Companies House in the United Kingdom under company number 14223185, whose registered office is located at 20 Old Bailey, C/O Withers Llp, London, EC4M 7AN, England (“Ennismore“).
- subsidiary or “family” companies of Ennismore involved in the hotel businesses of the Ennismore Group; and
- hotels operated under one of the Ennismore Group brands throughout the world. These brands can be viewed on ennismore.com.
- Ennismore Group will process your data because it manages a booking engine, which allows Ennismore Group to collect the data necessary to organise your stay in hotels under an Ennismore Group brand and to communicate this data to the concerned hotels.
- Ennismore Group also manages a global database of clients who stay in hotels under an Ennismore Group brand.
- Each hotel will process your data to manage its contractual relationship with you (invoicing, payment, booking management etc.), to perform marketing activities and to comply with its legal obligations.
Good to know!
You probably don’t know this, but the hotel you are booked to stay in is probably not owned by Ennismore Group. Most Ennismore Group branded hotels are operated under a franchise or management agreement between the hotel’s owner and Ennismore Group.
This is why, when staying in one of these hotels, your personal data will be dealt with by Ennismore Group and the hotel, both acting as Data Controllers for their own separate purposes.
Ennismore Group has communicated the principles set out in this policy to all of the Ennismore Group branded hotels and their respective owners. We will do our upmost to ensure that all hotels comply with the applicable data protection laws and this policy in relation to the processing of your personal data.
- ENNISMORE GROUP’S TEN PRINCIPLES FOR PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
In accordance with applicable regulations, in particular the United Kingdom and European General Data Protection Regulations, we have instituted the following ten principles throughout the Ennismore Group:
- Lawfulness: We use personal data only if:

- it is necessary to do so for the performance of a contract to which the person is a party; OR

- it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the person; OR
- we have a legitimate interest in using personal data and our usage does not adversely affect the persons’ rights.
- Fairness: We can explain why we need the personal data we collect.
- Purpose limitation and data minimisation: We only use personal data that we really need. If the result can be achieved with less personal data, then we make sure we use the minimum data required.
