Newsletter and Marketing

When you sign up for the Duke Hotels newsletter, we'll ask for your name and email address. By signing up, you expressly consent to our use of this information for marketing purposes as well, such as:

  • sending offers, promotions, and news about Duke Hotels and its affiliated locations;
  • tailoring offers to your interests or previous bookings;
  • Targeted ads based on your interest in Duke Hotels (for example, via social media or search engines), provided that you have also given your consent to the use of cookies for this purpose.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter, or by sending an email to BeMyGuest@dukehotels.nl. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.

Cookies and Analytics

Our websites use cookies and similar technologies:

  • Functional/Essential Cookies — necessary for the website to function properly (for example, to remember your language preference or booking details during the reservation process). No consent is required for this.
  • Analytical cookies (Google Analytics 4) — to measure how visitors use our website so that we can improve it. To this end, we enter into data processing agreements with Google when necessary and limit the data as much as possible.
  • Marketing/Advertising Cookies — to display relevant ads on our own channels and on third-party sites. These ads are only displayed with your consent.

Overview of Cookies

You can always adjust your cookie preferences via the cookie banner on our website or through your browser settings.

Video Surveillance

Video surveillance may be in operation in and around our hotels—for example, in the lobby, hallways, and parking areas—to ensure the safety of guests, employees, and property. This is clearly indicated by signs at the entrance. Footage is retained for a maximum of 4 weeks, unless it is needed to resolve an incident or to fulfill a legally required report to the appropriate authorities.

Sharing with Third Parties

We share personal data with third parties only to the extent necessary for the purposes listed above, including:

  • our booking and property management system, for processing reservations and guest information;
  • the party that sends out our newsletter;
  • web analytics providers (Google Analytics 4) and, if applicable, advertising platforms;
  • payment service providers, for processing payments;
  • government agencies, if we are legally required to do so.

We enter into data processing agreements that comply with the GDPR with parties that process personal data on our behalf. We never sell your data to third parties.

Transfer of Data Outside the EEA

Some parties with whom we collaborate (such as Google Analytics and any advertising partners) may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example, in the United States. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Retention Periods

We do not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:

  • Booking and stay information: in accordance with the statutory 7-year tax retention requirement.
  • Newsletter information: until you unsubscribe.
  • Contact form data: up to 2 years after the last contact, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
  • Application data: up to 4 weeks after the conclusion of the process, or 1 year with your consent.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to object to the processing, and the right to data portability. You may also withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time.

Would you like to exercise one of these rights? Please send an email to BeMyGuest@dukehotels.nl, or contact us by phone or WhatsApp: +31 (0)73 369 03 32. We will respond within 4 weeks.

Are you dissatisfied with how we handle your data? If so, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, such as encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), access restrictions, and periodic audits. If you suspect that your data is not properly secured, or if there are signs of misuse, please contact us at BeMyGuest@dukehotels.nl.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not make decisions that have a significant impact on you based solely on automated processing (including profiling) without human intervention.

Changes

We may update this privacy statement from time to time, for example, in response to changes in laws and regulations or in our services. The most current version is always available on our websites, with the date of the last update listed at the top.
