We, Formosa International Hotels Corporation, FIH Management Limited, together with our affiliates and subsidiaries that form the Silks Hotel Group (collectively, the “Group”) are committed to protecting your Personal Information and your privacy. This Policy explains how and why we gather, store, share and use your Personal Information, as well as sets out the options you have as to when and how you choose to share your Personal Information.

“Personal Information” is information or data, recorded in any format that identifies you personally either by itself or together with other information that is made available to us.

This Policy does not apply to the practices of businesses or websites we do not own or control, nor does it apply to the people we do not employ or manage.

Our site (“Website”) may contain links to other websites that are operated by third party companies or individuals with different privacy practices. You should exercise caution when you leave our Website and review the privacy statements of other websites. We have no control over the Personal Information you may submit to these third parties, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their privacy statements, policies or how such third parties manage the data they collect.

You are not required to provide any Personal Information to us if our request for your Personal Information is based on your consent, i.e. not based on legal requirements. You can always withdraw your consent at any time afterwards. To withdraw your consent, please see section on How to Contact Us with Questions or Concerns about our Privacy Practices. However, if you elect not to supply to or withdraw the data from us, we may not be able to deliver the products and services you desire, and this may also result in the automatic termination of any agreements you may have with the Group.

If the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies to you, you have certain legal rights and these are set out in the section on Access to your Personal Information. At the time of collecting your Personal Information, we will inform you of:

• our contact details;
• the purpose for the collection and the legal basis for doing so;
• if applicable, our legitimate interests for collecting your Personal Information;
• any third parties or the categories of the third parties who will receive your Personal Information;
• transfer of Personal Information to any country or organization outside EU, and the appropriate safeguards we apply when doing so, and where you can have access to such safeguards;
• the criteria we use to determine the period for which your Personal Information will be stored;
• your right to request access to, rectification, erasure of Personal Information or restrictions or objections to processing;
• your right to withdraw your consent any time if you provide Personal Information based on your consent;
• your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in EU member state;
• whether you are obliged to provide the Personal Information, and the possible consequences of failure to provide such information; and
• whether we process any automated decision-making, including profiling based on the Personal Information you provide.

However, if you have already previously been informed of the above information, we may not provide further notification of the same.

Under GDPR, if your Personal Information is submitted to us from a party other than yourself, in addition to the above information, we will inform you of the categories of Personal Information concerned and where we obtained your information within reasonable period after obtaining the information. However, if you are already aware of the same, or we are required by law to obtain the information, or the provision of such information to you will involve disproportionate efforts to achieve, we will not provide you with the above details.

For those of our customers to whom GDPR is not applicable, if we receive information from a party other than yourself (such as in special programs where members of guest loyalty programs refer a friend to us), we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided. If you provide us with Personal Information about others, you should always tell those individuals and let them know that they can find a copy of this Policy at https://www.silkshotelgroup.com/tw/privacy.

This Policy forms part of the terms and conditions governing your use of our services. By using our Website, central reservation service, staying at any of our hotels, use of any of our products and/or services, or by participating in one of our programs, you are agreeing to this Policy.

We will collect your Personal Information when you are involved in any hotel activities. For example, your Personal Information will be collected each time you reserve a room, at check-in, staying at any of our hotels and/or enjoying any of our hotel services and facilities (including partaking of any food and/or beverage at any restaurant outlets, using the spa, gym or health centres) and when making payments or providing guest comments or feedback.

In addition, we may collect your Personal Information when some internet activities are initiated. For example, at times when you visit our Websites, we may collect information through our third party service providers' use of technologies, such as pixels or other tracking tools and similar technologies. When you fill in any of our online forms (such as for online reservation or questionnaires), your information may be collected as well. Further, if you make reservations or apply for membership programs offered by the Group or our hotels, the Personal Information you provide will be automatically collected by our third party system service provider(s) due to the nature of the system’s design and operation. Given the similar design of the systems, our advertisement service provider, business intelligence tool provider, marketing tool provider, channel manager service provider, shopping cart and restaurant questionnaire service provider, room and restaurant reservation service provider, and Google Analytics will also automatically collect your Personal Information while you visit our websites. For more information, please see Web Technologies Used to Passively Collect Information about You.

When you opt to participate in our marketing programs, your Personal Information will be collected. For example, if you sign up for any of our loyalty programs, participate in customer surveys, take part in online games or competitions, or subscribe to newsletters, request to receive offers and promotions via email or other channels. We also obtain your information by transmissions from third parties. Such third parties include, tour operators, travel agencies (online or not), and others. We may collect Personal Information about you from other companies that have the right to share information with us. We may also enter into strategic relationships with companies outside of the Group (our "Strategic Partners") who offer products and services that may be of interest to you such as airlines, hotel partners, travel operators and travel agents. If you participate in these programs, our Strategic Partner may send us Personal Information about you as part of our strategic relationship.

We will collect and process some or all of the following personal data about you:

• Information about you such as your name, date of birth, nationality, contact details including email address and telephone number, travel document, photographs and other images.

We may collect and handle sensitive Personal Information, for example, when we handle requests for special medical or access assistance or specific dietary requirements which may indicate your religious beliefs. We will typically ask you for your consent when collecting and handling this type of Personal Information, unless we are otherwise permitted to process such personal data under applicable laws.
• Information about your use of our products and services such as historical travel arrangements, feedback about your experiences and preferences, and images captured via CCTV in the public areas of our hotels.
• Our interactions with you – We will keep records of any interactions and correspondences between us such as calls made through our call centres, communications you have with our staff or representatives and any interactions with us or posts that refer to us on social media or other public sources, as well as your responses to market surveys and contests conducted by us or on our behalf.
• Details of your visits to our Website, use of our mobile applications and other data collected through cookies and other tracking technology including information that you view. Your Personal Information may be automatically collected when these tracking technologies are applied. The information so collected may be used for aggregated trend and statistical analysis, and for showing you more relevant advertisements and messages. More information on these practices can be found in the Manage Your Cookies Settings and Opting Out, and Choices You Have about the Use of Your Personal Information for Marketing Purposes.
• Your IP address and browser type may also be collected. This information is used for our own analytical purposes for enhancement of our services, and is separate from any cookies information which is gathered. Your IP address may be used to assist in preventing criminal activities on the Website in certain circumstances.
• Employment information – If you are employed by one of our corporate or government clients, or travelling or obtaining products or services in relation to one of our corporate or government clients, we will collect certain information about your employment or relationship with such clients including the name of your employer, your professional title and your work contact information.

We will only collect Personal Information which is relevant and necessary for specific identified purposes (please refer to the section Use of your Personal Information), and we will not use it for any other purposes without obtaining your consent.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13 or minors under the age prescribed by the applicable laws. If you believe your child has provided Personal Information to us, please contact us so that we can identify and delete your child's Personal Information.

We will give you choices about the ways we use and share your Personal Information and we will respect the choices you make.

The table below sets out why we process your Personal Information, and the legal basis for the processing. If the legal basis for us to use and process your Personal Information is your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. If the use is for our legitimate interests, you can object to such use, unless we demonstrates our compelling legitimate grounds, or we or any third party require the information to establish or defend any legal claims.

The retention period for Personal Information is based on business needs or legal requirements. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes it was collected. For example, we may (i) keep records of some transaction details and correspondence until the time limit for claims arising from the transaction with us has expired (which might be at most 15 years after the relevant transaction occurred subject to local laws. In most cases, it will be 2 years in Taiwan); or (ii) record your information to comply with regulatory requirements. When the retention period expires, we will either destroy your Personal Information or anonymise it (in which case we may further retain and use the anonymised information for our legitimate interests, such as business analysis).

We may communicate marketing and promotions to you by post, telephone or online (including by email or through your mobile device or via online banner advertisements). We will ask you for your consent to send you such materials, or you may choose not to receive any marketing communications from us, at the time we collect your Personal Information. Please note that at any time you may withdraw your consent and receive no more marketing and promotions from us. Please see “How to Contact Us with Questions or Concerns about Our Privacy Practices”. We will also provide an option to unsubscribe or opt out of further communications on any direct marketing communications sent to you.

If you choose not to receive any promotional communications from us, we will not send you promotional messages and will not share your Personal Information with other companies for marketing purposes. We will update your privacy preferences within 30 days from receipt of the request.

Please note that some advertisements shown to you when you browse online are displayed by our advertisement service providers. They display promotional messages relevant to you based on your preference they learn through the cookies they embed on our websites. If you do not want to receive this information, please manage your setting at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en.

We will not share your Personal Information with our Strategic Partners for marketing purposes without your consent. Provided you agree, we will share your Personal Information with them, so that they may send you news updates, special events, offers and promotions regarding their products and services, including travel, transportation, retail, food and beverage, credit cards, entertainment, social networking, and similar services. If you no longer wish to receive this information from our Strategic Partners, our Group companies and their licensees or third parties, you need to contact them directly.

We may still contact you for customer research or administrative purposes, such as confirming a reservation or transaction you have made, informing you of your account status or inviting you to update your online profile.

If you no longer wish to receive administrative communications from us, please contact us to close your accounts with us. Please see How to Contact Us With Questions or Concerns about Our Privacy Practices in this regard.

We may share your Personal Information with selected others in accordance with this Policy and only on a need-to-know basis as follows:

We share your Personal Information among our Group hotels and with our other Group companies and their licensees, third parties carefully selected by the Group, Strategic Partners, and/or service providers to provide the information, products and services that you have requested, to send you promotions and special offers they believe will be of interest to you or to personalize your experience. Our sharing is in accordance with this Policy. For example, the following teams may have access to your data: Group hotel staff, reservation staff using Silks Hotel Group reservation tools, IT departments, commercial partners, medical services if applicable, legal services if applicable. Generally, any appropriate person in the Group may have access to certain specific categories of Personal Information for the consummation of contracts between you and the Group.

In addition, we will share your Personal Information with companies that perform services on our behalf, such as companies providing marketing support and technical infrastructure support. They may include: third-party payment processors, payment service providers, banks and financial institutions, credit card companies, IT and marketing support service providers; vendors or third party service providers in connection with marketing promotions and services offered by the Group (please see “Choices You Have about the Use of Your Personal Information for Marketing Purposes”); to our advisors, including our accountants, lawyers, other professional advisors and business contacts for the purposes of better managing or developing our business and legal compliance purposes; and to anyone who may be involved in the process of making your travel arrangements in order to fulfill contractual obligations.

In order to pursue our legitimate interests, whilst safeguarding your rights and liberties, our service providers will use the Personal Information we share with them for the purpose we provide it to them. They must comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

We will share your Personal Information to any other party with your consent and direction or with whom you authorise us to disclose.

We may transfer your Personal Information to another entity that has acquired or may acquire the stock or substantially all of the assets of any of the Group companies, a member of the Group, or one of its or their operating divisions, for example, as the result of a sale, merger, or reorganization, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation. If such a transfer occurs, the acquiring entity's use of your Personal Information will still be subject to this Policy. The legal basis for doing so is the necessity for our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving the quality of services.

There are other limited circumstances in which we may share or transfer your Personal Information to unrelated third parties, including for example, when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with a law, regulatory requirement, court order, or a subpoena; to cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental investigations (in whatever jurisdictions); to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect legal rights, property or safety of you, the Group, our Group hotels, our employees, agents, other guests, or the public in general.

• we have implemented appropriate protection measures;
• we have taken subsequent measures to ensure your exposure to any risk of unauthorized access to your Personal Information no longer exists; or
• such notification to you requires disproportionate effort to achieve. However, in such instance, we will take steps to inform you by way of public or similar communication measures to ensure that you are effectively informed.

The nature of our business and our operations requires us to transfer your information, including personally identifiable information to internal or external recipients, e.g. other groups, companies, data centers or service providers that may be located in countries outside of yours. Our Website currently resides on servers in Tokyo, Japan and our databases are located in Taipei, Taiwan, but we may at times use supplemental facilities located outside of these two locations.

Different countries have different data protection laws, some of which provide more protection than others. Although the data protection laws of these various countries may not be as comprehensive as those in your own country, the Group will take appropriate steps to ensure that your Personal Information is protected and handled as described in this privacy statement. To comply with GDPR, when Personal Information is transferred to countries outside of the EU which have different levels of personal data protection from EU, such transfer will be regulated by standard contractual clauses defined by the European Commission.

By using our Website, participating in our programs, or staying at our Group hotels, you are consenting to the transfer of your Personal Information to any country in the world in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
