Additionally, it outlines the security measures that are in place to safeguard the privacy, fundamental rights, legitimate interests, and personal data of individuals within the monitoring areas.
With the intention of safeguarding personal data and maintaining our status as a data controller, we conduct personal data processing activities as mandated by the Law on the Protection of Personal Data (“LPPD”) using security cameras to monitor and record the movements of members, guests, employees, and their vehicles at the hotel premises, buildings, entrance-exit gates, dining hall, guest houses, visitor waiting rooms, gym, car parks, and security boot.
In order to ensure security as the data controller in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law (“KVK Law”), personal data processing activities are carried out as the data controller by monitoring and recording 24/7 with security cameras and the entry and exit of guests, visitors, employees, members and their vehicles inside the hotel, in its buildings, entrance and exit doors, dining hall, guesthouse, visitor waiting room, gym, parking lot, security booth, floor corridors, building exteriors and facilities.
