The main rules applicable within the Hotel CC Amsterdam (Hotel CC Amsterdam and its subsidiaries) are founded on seven principles.
“Personal data” means any information collected and logged in a format that allows you to be identified personally, either directly (e.g. name) or indirectly (e.g. telephone number) as a natural person. Before providing us with this information, we recommend that you read this document describing our customer privacy protection policy.
This Personal Data Protection Charter forms part of the terms and conditions that govern our hotel services. By accepting these terms and conditions, you expressly accept the provisions of this Charter.
The seven principles below are applicable within the Hotel CC Amsterdam throughout the world.

If such data is sent, you can contact the Data Privacy department (“Access and modification” clause) to arrange for this information to be deleted.

Moreover, depending on applicable local laws, other information could be considered sensitive, such as your credit card number, your leisure activities, personal activities and hobbies, and whether you are a smoker. We may be obliged to collect such information to meet your requirements or provide you with an appropriate service, such as a specific diet.
