We do want to keep in touch with you, and will only do so if you have actively requested to receive information from us.  You are free to remove yourself from our lists at any time by using the unsubscribe option or by emailing hotel@goldenjubilee.scot.nhs.uk.

As you use our website, app and our services we share your data with partners who help us provide and improve our products and services as follows:

● Vendors and service providers: Your information is likely to be available to a greater or lesser extent to those who support our business (and their subcontractors) including:

○ Our booking engine - Travelclick
○ Our GMS (Guest Management Solutions platform) - Travelclick/ihotelier
○ Our CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) system - ACT
○ Our PMS (Property Management System) - Opera
○ Our web developers – Attacat
○ The technical infrastructure hosts (data) – Google and WPEngine
○ Our analytics and advertising providers (data including email addresses) – primarily Google and Facebook
○ Live chat partner (data) – Zendesk
○ Email provider (data) – ihotelier
○ Analytics provider (anonymous data) – e.g. Hotjar
○ Other third party service providers we may require the services of such as trainers, consultants, auditors and accountants, banking services, administration or HR services, IT systems maintenance.

In each case we seek to provide the minimum amount of information or access necessary for those third parties to fulfill their obligations to us and ultimately to you.
Where we can, we also impose strict restrictions on how our partners can use and disclose the data we provide

● Advertising partners: As previously mentioned we use the advertising services offered by the web giants including Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Amazon but primarily Google Advertising Products and Facebook Ads. Whilst each of these companies has had its fair share of criticism around privacy it is our view that because of that scrutiny, they actually now take greater care of your personal data than the sort of ad networks that many of the traditional media brands use. Further they actually provide the least irritating online adverts (no pop-ups etc). You should be aware that through the use of our site and services, data is being shared with these companies. Of particular note:
○ They will probably know you’ve been on our site and what pages etc you’ve viewed (as they do with a huge proportion of the internet) and will understand that you are transacting with us if, for example, you place an order. This allows us to purchase so called “remarketing” ads across their networks so we can encourage you to come back to our site at a later date in accordance with their terms. We deliberately limit the amount of times you will see our ads to avoid unacceptable irritation.
○ If you have given us your email address we may share it with them as part of a service they offer to allow us to buy adverts that reach people they deem to be similar to you (i.e. hopefully other people interested in growing their companies) assuming of course that you are already registered with them.

To opt-out of this data sharing, the best way is to modify your cookie preferences and then drop us an email.
