The data is mainly processed at the Data Controller’s premises, within the European Union and, with respect to services provided by third parties, also outside the European Union.

In case of transfer of the data in countries which do not ensure the standard of protection equivalent to Italy, The St. Regis Venice undertakes to adopt all the necessary measures to legitimize said transfer, as illustrated below.

The data is processed mainly with electronic, computerized and automated means, for the period of time which is strictly necessary to seek the purposes for which it was collected.

The St. Regis Venice processes the data in compliance with the law, adopting adequate security measures able to prevent non-authorized accesses, dissemination, non-authorized alteration or destruction of the data.

5. Purposes of data processing

Users’ data will be processed exclusively for the following purposes:

a) Carry out statistics and analysis on anonymous and aggregate data relating to the User, which do not allow to identify the User directly, for the performance of statistical analysis, to improve technical assistance, for evolutionary maintenance of the platform and The St. Regis Venice services offered to the User, for the development of the Site contents, as well as to correct and develop research and analysis techniques;
