Why do we keep this data?
The Immigration (Hotel Records) Order, 1972 for all serviced and self-catering accommodation states that a record of all guests over the age of 16 (full name and nationality) must be kept for at least 12 months. For those who are not British, Irish or Commonwealth guests, a passport number, place of issue and details of their next destination are listed.
How do we collect this data?
The data we collect is provided to us by you or an agent/representative acting on your behalf or/and through booking channels: Booking.com, Expedia and Freetobook (a UK booking site) when:
- forms are completed on our website or our online booking system
- we receive confirmed booking from booking channels
- we receive an email or a letter
- information is provided to us by telephone
- you tell us in person
What data we collect?
We must, as a minimum, collect the following information from guests on their arrival (including information we need to complete your booking):
- The full name and address of the person making the booking
- The email address of the person making the booking
- The telephone number of the person making the booking (landline and/or mobile)
- Credit/debit card details. These data will be entered into our secure payment terminal (Portable card machine). We will not hold your card details other than within the secure payment system. We request that you DO NOT provide card details by email.
For all who are not British, Irish or Commonwealth guests:

How we store your data and keep it secure?
We take all reasonable technical and organisational precautions to store your information in a secure manner and prevent its loss or misuse. Through the booking process of Booking.com, Expedia or Freetobook, Robin 7 Lodge City Centre has viewing access to booking details such as addresses, phone numbers and credit card details. This information can be viewed by secure extranet or app on pc, laptop or mobile phone. All computers, laptops and mobile phones are password protected and each extranet site and app is password protected with additional layers of security such as access codes.

Where you choose to pay us by credit or debit card using our processing terminal (whether it is by using the physical card or when we process a card in the “cardholder not Present” manner), we will have a printed receipt slip that contains details of the amount paid and some card details. This receipt slip is kept in a secure location and can only be accessed by authorised personnel. The slip is kept separately from any other information that could identify the card as belonging to an individual. Card payment slips are only kept for as long as is reasonable and destroyed using a security grade shredder. On arrival, we require you to verify your identity and booking details by signing a printed registration form that includes the personal information you (or your representative) have provided. This registration form is kept in a secure location and can only be accessed by authorised personnel. This form is only kept for as long as is reasonable and destroyed using a security grade shredder.
