4. Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing
 

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so.
 

Managing enquiries and reservations

We use your information to answer enquiries, check availability, process bookings and manage your stay.
 

Legal basis: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract and performance of the accommodation contract.
 

Payments and billing

We process information necessary to manage payments, deposits, refunds, invoices and accounting.
 

Legal basis: performance of a contract and compliance with legal obligations.
 

Guest registration and legal requirements

Spanish legislation requires accommodation providers to collect and communicate certain information relating to guests and reservations to the competent authorities.
 

Aqua Villa uses Chekin to manage the online guest registration process. Guests receive an individual check-in link, sent through communications generated from Smoobu, through which the information required for registration is collected.
 

Chekin is connected to SES.HOSPEDAJES, the guest registration platform of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, allowing the legally required information to be communicated to the competent authorities.
 

Legal basis: compliance with our legal obligations as an accommodation provider.
 

Guest communication and service

We use your contact details to provide information concerning your booking, online check-in, arrival, stay, departure and requests made by you.

Legal basis: performance of the accommodation contract and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in providing appropriate customer service.
 

Website operation and security

Technical information may be processed to operate, maintain and protect our website and systems.
 

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and functional website and, where required, your consent.
 

Analytics and optional cookies

Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are used, they will be activated in accordance with applicable cookie and consent requirements.
 

Legal basis: your consent, where required.
 

Marketing communications

We will only send promotional or marketing communications where permitted by law and, where necessary, after obtaining your consent.

You may withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
 

5. Website, Booking and Guest Registration Providers

To operate Aqua Villa and provide our services, we currently use the following technology providers:
 

Wix — website creation, hosting and website functionality.
 

Smoobu — property management, availability, direct booking management and guest communications.
 

Chekin — online guest registration and check-in and communication of legally required guest and reservation information to the competent authorities through SES.HOSPEDAJES.
 

These providers may process personal data on our behalf or, where applicable, under their own legal responsibilities and privacy terms.

We use service providers that are required to process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
 

6. Payments — Stripe and PayPal
 

Payments for direct bookings may be processed through Stripe or PayPal, depending on the payment method selected by the guest.

When you make a payment, payment and transaction information may be processed directly by the selected payment provider in accordance with its own privacy terms and applicable data protection legislation.
 

Aqua Villa does not receive or store complete payment card details or your complete Stripe or PayPal authentication credentials when these are processed directly by the payment provider.
 

We may receive information necessary to identify and manage the transaction, such as:

  • Payment status

  • Transaction reference

  • Amount paid

  • Date of payment

  • Payment method

  • Information required for booking administration, accounting, refunds or dispute management
     

7. Guest Registration Through Chekin and SES.HOSPEDAJES
 

Following a reservation, guests may receive an online check-in link generated through the integration between Smoobu and Chekin.

Through this process, Chekin collects the information required to register guests in accordance with Spanish law.
 

Depending on the applicable legal requirements, this may include identification, contact, accommodation, reservation and payment-related information required by the competent authorities.
 

Chekin communicates the legally required information to SES.HOSPEDAJES, the platform operated by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior for the registration and communication of accommodation activity.

This processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations applicable to tourist accommodation providers in Spain.
 

8. Sharing of Personal Data
 

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal data, where necessary, with:

  • Wix, for website hosting and functionality

  • Smoobu, for booking and property management

  • Chekin, for online check-in and statutory guest registration

  • Stripe and PayPal, for payment processing

  • Financial institutions where required for payment processing

  • Professional advisers, accountants and service providers

  • Staff or contractors involved in managing your reservation or stay

  • SES.HOSPEDAJES and other competent public authorities where disclosure is required by law

  • Other service providers necessary to operate Aqua Villa or fulfil your reservation
     

Each recipient will receive only the information necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable law.
 

9. International Data Transfers
 

Some technology providers used to operate our website, booking, check-in or payment services may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
 

Where an international transfer of personal data takes place, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection legislation, including adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognised mechanisms.
 

10. Data Retention
 

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, tourism and accommodation obligations.
 

Booking, payment, invoicing and guest registration records may therefore be retained for the periods required by Spanish law.

Where a service provider processes information on our behalf, retention may also be governed by the applicable legal requirements and the provider's contractual obligations.
 

Information processed solely on the basis of consent will be retained until consent is withdrawn or the information is no longer necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.
 

11. Cookies
 

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies necessary for its operation and may use additional cookies for functionality, analytics or other purposes.
 

Non-essential cookies will only be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
 

Visitors can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie consent options available on the website.

For further information, please see our Cookie Policy.
 

12. Your Data Protection Rights
 

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Request deletion of your personal data

  • Request restriction of processing

  • Object to certain processing

  • Request portability of your data

  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
     

These rights may be subject to limitations where processing or retention of information is required by law.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
 

To exercise your rights, please contact:

aquavillajerez@gmail.com

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before processing your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
 

13. Data Security
 

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, loss, disclosure or destruction.

We also use professional technology providers for booking, payment and guest registration processes where appropriate.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
 

14. Children's Privacy
 

Reservations must be made by an adult.

Where information concerning minors is required as part of a reservation or to comply with statutory guest registration requirements, it must be provided by their parent, legal guardian or responsible adult and will be processed only for the relevant contractual and legal purposes.
 

15. Third-Party Links and Services
 

Our website may contain links to external websites, tourism resources or other third-party services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites. Visitors should review the relevant privacy information before providing personal data directly to those services.
 

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
 

We may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect changes in our website, booking processes, payment methods, guest registration systems, service providers or applicable legislation.

The latest version will always be published on this website together with its date of revision.
