terms & conditions

This policy describes how Norrika Hotels and its subsidiaries (“Norrika” “we,” or “us”), collect, use, and share personal information. Please note that Norrika branded hotels and properties (“Licensed Hotels”) can be independently owned and operated and are not necessairly owned, managed, or controlled by Norrika AB. Although these companies are referred to by Norrika as “Affiliates” they are not necessairly under our ownership or control. When you provide information to a Licensed Hotel or to an Affiliate, those companies may have their own privacy practices and policies.

Use And Processing Of The Information We Collect

The following chart provides examples of the type of information that we collect from you and how we use that information.

Context

Types of Information

Primary Purpose for Collection and Use of Information

Room Reservations

We collect your contact information, payment information, reservation information, and accommodation preferences. That information is collected directly from you when you make a room reservation. In a small number of cases we collect information about a guest’s health. For example, a guest may voluntarily choose to provide information about an allergy as part of a request for an accommodation preference.
We use your information in order to perform our contractual obligations, fulfill your requests for a reservation, and to take steps in anticipation of those obligations. In some jurisdictions we also need your information to comply with legal obligations to collect and maintain information about guests. We also have a legitimate interest in analyzing trends and patterns among guests. In the rare circumstances in which we collect information about a guest’s health, that information is collected only for the purpose of accommodating a guest’s needs and is used for no other purpose.

Cookies and First Party Tracking

We use cookies and clear GIFs. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to a computer’s hard drive while a website is viewed.
We have a legitimate interest in making our website operate efficiently and analyzing trends and patterns among our website visitors.

Cookies and Third Party Tracking

We use cookies and clear GIFs. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to a computer’s hard drive while a website is viewed.
We have a legitimate interest in engaging in behavior-based advertising.

Customer Care

If you contact us with an issue we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content that you send to us in order to reply
We have a legitimate interest in receiving and acting upon the information that you provide to us concerning issues that you raise.

Website Interactions and Web Logs

We use technology to monitor how you interact with our website. This may include the links you click on or information that you type into our online forms. 
We have a legitimate interest in understanding how you interact with our website to better improve it and to understand your preferences and interests in order to select offerings that you might find most useful.

Employment Candidates and Employees

If you apply to work for us we collect information necessary to evaluate your application. If you are or were an employee of Norrika AB we collect information necessary to your employment.
We use information about prospective employees in connection with our legal obligations and our legitimate interest in evaluating candidates. We use information about current employees in connection with our employment obligations. In some contexts, we are also required by law to collect information about our employees and we have a legitimate interest in complying with those laws. We also have a legitimate interest in using employment information to have efficient staffing and work force operations. 

In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including business partners, Licensed Hotels, Affiliates, Travel Agents, Online Travel Websites, or publicly available sources. For example, if you make a reservation at one of our Licensed Hotels, that hotel transmits information to us as part of our legitimate interest in, among other things, maintaining a global reservation system and providing for customer service and support. 

In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use information in the following ways:

  • To conduct analytics.

  • To identify you when you visit our websites or Licensed Hotels.

  • To provide service to you and to improve our services and product offerings.

  • To respond to inquiries related to support, employment opportunities, or other requests. 

  • To send marketing and promotional materials, including information relating to our products, services, sales, or promotions.

  • To streamline the reservation or checkout process.

  • For the safety and security of guests, staff, and other visitors.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you make a room reservation we collect your information so that we, or so that a Licensed Hotel, can perform a contract with you, but we also collect your information as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions about your stay. As a result, our collection and processing of your information may be based upon our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, our legitimate interest in conducting our business, and/or your consent.

Sharing Of Information

In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this policy, we disclose information in the following situations:

  1. Licensed Hotels and Affiliates. We share your information with the Licensed Hotels that will be fulfilling a reservation. We also share your information with Affiliates in the geographic area of a Licensed Hotel in which you have stayed or you intend to stay. Depending upon the context, Licensed Hotels and Affiliates use your information for a variety of purposes, including preparing for your stay, providing you with accommodations, marketing, or redeeming rewards points.

  2. Partner Marketing and Promotions. We share information with independent companies if you have selected that you would like to receive promotions or marketing material from Norrika’s third party-business partners. We also offer contests, sweepstakes, or other promotions with third party partners. If you decide to enter a contest, sweepstakes, or promotion that is sponsored by a third party partner, the information that you provide will be shared with us and with them. Their use of your information is not governed by this privacy policy. 

  3. Travel Agents and Online Travel Websites. We share your information with travel agents, and/or online travel websites that you use in order to process your reservation request and to comply with any requirements or needs of those entities.

We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, or in connection with any legal process, or to comply with relevant laws or for national security requirements within the United States or the other jurisdictions in which we operate.

We also may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common ownership or control). In addition, if another company acquires or plans to acquire our company, business, or our assets, we will also share information with that company, including at the negotiation stage.

Although Norrika will attempt in good faith to respond to your request, we may not be able to change your information in all circumstances.

You can request that your information be deleted by completing and submitting a suitable letter to us.

You should note that there are some situations in which we may decline to delete your information. For example, we may keep your personal information as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce any of our agreements. 

  6. Revoking Consent or Objecting to Processing. You can revoke consent to processing (where such processing is based upon consent) or object to our processing by completing and submitting a letter to us. If you revoke consent or object to further processing we may no longer be able to provide you services. In some cases, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so, or if we are unable to adequately verify your identity.

  7. Online Tracking. We do not currently recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include ”Do Not Track” instructions.
