This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, disclose, and secure your personal data when you visit our publication website, review information regarding Hotel Algarve Casino, and submit inquiries through our digital interfaces.

1. Scope and Applicable Legal Framework

Our operations are established in Portimão, Portugal. Therefore, our processing of personal data complies strictly with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), the Portuguese Data Protection Act (Lei n.º 58/2019), and where applicable, consumer privacy laws in other jurisdictions including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Data We Collect

We collect data under two primary mechanisms:

  • Information You Voluntarily Provide: When you complete our contact inquiry form, register for resort editorial updates, or correspond with our concierge team via email, we collect your full name, email address, topic of interest, and any descriptive text you choose to share.
  • Information Collected Automatically: When navigating our website, server logs collect standard network metadata, including your IP address (anonymized where feasible), browser user agent, device operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time stamps, and interaction events.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Under Article 6 of the GDPR, we process personal information exclusively under the following lawful grounds:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For placing non-essential cookies, functional analytics scripts, or transmitting direct electronic editorial bulletins. You possess the right to revoke consent at any moment.
  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): To maintain website security, prevent fraudulent bot traffic, debug server issues, and understand aggregated visitor trends to improve site layout and content utility.
  • Performance of a Contract or Pre-contractual Steps (Art. 6(1)(b)): To respond to your direct inquiries regarding hotel accommodations, casino regulations, and travel itineraries.

4. Cookies and Web Storage

Our portal utilizes cookies and local storage tokens to preserve your interface preferences and consent choices. Detailed categorizations of essential, analytics, and functional cookies are set forth in our dedicated Cookie Policy. Non-essential tracking mechanisms are never executed without your affirmative prior consent.

5. Third-Party Processors and International Transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to commercial data brokers. We share information only with vetted technical service providers operating on our behalf:

  • Cloud hosting and Content Delivery Network (CDN) infrastructure providers within the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Encrypted email dispatch systems handling concierge communications.
  • Anonymized privacy-first analytics telemetry partners adhering to EU-US Data Privacy Framework provisions.

6. Data Retention Policies

Personal information gathered via contact forms is maintained only as long as necessary to address your specific inquiry or fulfill audit obligations, typically not exceeding twenty-four (24) months from your last interaction. Server access logs are routinely purged or aggregated anonymously after ninety (90) days.
