Privacy Policy
WIOTTO commitment to service includes respecting and protecting the privacy of our website users and guests. Our policies and practices are explained here, and our understanding is you accept them if you continue to use our site and receive our products and services.
This privacy policy sets out how data provided by or collected from you (whether through our website, telephone, email correspondence or other electronic means, in writing or in person) is treated, and your rights in relation to it. It also explains the use of cookies on our website.
Information collected by us
We collect information you provide in any communication or interaction with us, including when you make a booking, make a purchase, create an account, respond to a survey or offer, or sign up for a newsletter.
This includes details such as your name, address, email address and phone number. It may also include your passport details, nationality, date or birth, gender, payment details (such as credit or debit card information), details of co-travelers or travel dates, hotel room preferences, any special requests or requirements, and any information required by local authorities or to comply with local laws.
We may also collect and process information about your visits to and use of our website and the pages you view. This helps us to build knowledge on areas such as traffic, location and user preferences. In addition it assists us to test and improve our website accessibility and content. This is explained further under the heading ‘Cookies’ below.
How we use your information
The information collected from you is used as required to provide our products and services to you. It may also be used for responding to requests you make for information about our products or services, or providing details of similar products or services where you have previously made a request, booking or purchase through us.
We may provide details of other products or services, resort information, updates and offers which you may be interested in, through newsletters and marketing emails or similar, if you have consented to receive it. We may inform you of changes to our products, services, or website, or contact you for market research purposes.
We may be asked to process your information on behalf of third parties, such as tour operators, travel companies and other service providers, marketing partners. In such cases those third parties will be responsible for explaining to you what personal data is being collected and processed and why, and how it will be used.
Acting as agent
When we sell products and services to you, we usually do so as agent for the wholesaler or provider of those products and services. This means that we usually collect personal information about you both for our internal purposes, and on behalf of the parties for whom we act as agent for their internal purposes. Accordingly, the consent you provide under this Policy to the collection of personal information by us, applies equally to the parties whose products and services we sell. For example, if you purchase a hotel booking from us, then under this policy you will have consented to your personal information being used by us, being provided to that hotel to enable your accommodation to be booked and being used by the hotel.
Your rights in relation to your information
If you provide personal information to us, you will have the opportunity at the time to tell us if you are happy for us to contact you subsequently, or if you would prefer for us not to contact you (otherwise than as may be necessary in connection with a booking or purchase or provision of products and services requested by you).
If any of the information which we hold about you is inaccurate, please let us know and we will correct it. You may ask us to remove any information that is no longer up to date. You may change or withdraw any consent you have given, for example in relation to receipt of marketing emails, by notifying us at any time.
Keeping and storing your information
We have appropriate measures and systems in place to protect and maintain the confidentiality and security of the personal information which we hold about you.
When you provide information, you accept and agree that it may be necessary for us to transfer it to other locations outside Switzerland for processing and storing in connection with a booking or purchase or provision of products and services. In doing so we will take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is transferred and stored securely.
We will keep and store your information in our systems and records:
(a) for so long as it is required by us for the purposes of providing you with any products and services requested by you; or
(b) to the extent that you have given your consent for us to keep it and use it for a specific purpose; or
(c) in accordance with our normal record retention policy, which is 5 years; or
(d) as required by applicable law or for financial, regulatory and audit purposes, or similar,
Disclosing information
We may disclose your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and as follows:
As necessary for the purposes of performing any service which you have requested (including to third party providers of products and services)
As required by any legal, regulatory or governmental body, or as required for any legal purpose or process, compliance with laws or similar, or in seeking to detect or prevent fraud and other crimes.
In addition, we may collect non-personal information relating to your visit or activities which does not individually identify you. We may disclose, aggregate with other information, transfer or otherwise use this data to help us better understand and improve our website or our products and services.
