Why do we collect and process your Personal Data ?

The Personal Data are strictly processed within the context of the regulations and are not submitted to further processing, which is somehow incompatible with the initial purpose of their collection and processing. The additional processing of personal data for archiving purposes, emerging from serving our guests, during their stay at our hotel, is not considered inconsistent to the reason why we collected their data in the first place, for which we have already received their written consent.

Specifically, Juniper Hill will collect and use your personal data for the following purposes:


• For the instruction, execution and completion of the provision of hospitality services to you.
• For the provision of catering services of food and drink to you, upon request.

• For the safety of individuals and their personal belongings, either of our guests who stay at our hotel, or of our employees, as well as the monitoring of our premises as an act of prevention, research, detection or even the combating of criminal activities.

• For the protection and the assurance of your health during your stay at our hotel, exceptionally and in case of emergency, regardless of whether you have given us your consent or whether you are in no position to provide it, such as in case of an accident.
