WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION

The term of “Personal Information” refers to information about you as an individual who can be identified from that data or can be identified when combine with other information which we have or likely to have access.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY IS PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

Sensitive Data
Unless specifically requested, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, on or through the Service or otherwise to us, any Sensitive Personal Information³.

We minimize our holding and use of sensitive categories of Personal Information but, given the services we provide, there are times when we use it to understand our guests/customers and their needs better, for example when providing accommodation for disabled persons or those with problems around substance abuse, resolving neighborhood disputes involving alleged criminal activity or when helping someone to access care services. We will usually be processing this information to allow us to comply with our legal obligations, act in the substantial public interest in relation to the services we provide, to provide you with social care, or to deal with any legal action. There may be times where we need to ask you for your consent to use this type of Personal Information, in which case we will always notify you and make this clear.

Minors
Unless specified otherwise, we do not usually process data on minors. This website is not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not seek to obtain, nor do we want to obtain personal information (i.e. personally identifiable information) directly from minors. We cannot, however, always determine that the people accessing and using our site are adults. As such, should a minor (as defined by applicable law) provide to us personally identifying information without parental consent, we request that the parent, guardian or other appropriate person contact us to help us remove the information.

CCTV and photographs
Our properties have CCTV and you may be recorded when you visit them. CCTV is used to provide security and to protect both our visitors and communities. CCTV will only be viewed when necessary (e.g. to detect or prevent crime), by authorized personnel only, and footage is stored for set period of time after which it is recorded over. Dusit complies with PDPA and we put up notices so you know when CCTV is used.

We may take photographs at our event, at our properties and in our communities to use for general marketing and publicity. However, photographs of individuals will only be used for those purpose with your consent, which is held within our Corporate Communication team.

HOW AND WHERE WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

1. On Our Digital Channel
A. Initially upon contact with our Digital Channel
When you visit our digital channel, which includes dusit.com, our websites, domain names, social media accounts, DusitApp or other applications (collectively, “Digital Channel”), you are initially given a “cookie”, and your computer is assigned an ID number. A cookie is a commonly used piece of software that tracks an individual user’s preferences and is capable of enhancing your visit to the Digital Channel.

Cookies allow us to provide a customised experience without the visitor having to remind us of his or her preferences each time he or she visits. If you log in as a registered user, our cookies may collect personal information for marketing purposes and to create content on our Digital Channel that are more relevant and easier to use. Our Digital Channel cookies help enhance your experience with us and provide you with Dusit targeted advertising that may be of your interest.

We also use cookies to collect and maintain aggregate website data (such as the number of visitors to a particular site), which helps us see which areas are popular with our users and which are not. Amongst other things, this helps us improve and update our site, based on the total number of visitors and pages viewed and other data.

If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. Visitors should understand, however, that rejecting cookies will affect your ability to benefit from the conveniences you could enjoy if you chose to accept, and you will not be able to use certain customisation features associated with creating a user profile.

Whilst in the process of browsing our Digital Channel, you also provide us with information that does not reveal your personal identity, for example, what type of destination you seek. We use this aggregated, anonymous data mainly for editorial purposes, and not connect it to any Personal Information, such as your name or address.

As you explore our Digital Channel for information that interests you, you will provide your Personal Information when you create a profile or sign in to access an existing profile.
You may also wish to put in a specific “Information Request” about one of our establishments or participate in one of our online surveys or promotions. To respond to this request or participate in our various programmes, we may ask for your specific Personal Information, such as your name, zip/postal code, e-mail address, and phone number.

In the event you choose to provide us with such information, we will only use it for the specified purpose, including under this Privacy Policy. We will only email you if you want us to.
