These features use third-party cookies that are directly set on your device by these services.

We may convert your email address, telephone number or other information into a unique value which can be matched by those third parties with a user on their platform or with other data they may have collected from you. This matching allows interest-based ads to be delivered on those platforms. These platforms may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review.


Sensitive Information

Through your interactions with us, both in respect of you expressing an interest in our products, booking a vacation package or when you stay at any one of our resorts, we will collect certain Personal Information of a more sensitive nature.

In addition, if an accident occurs then health data will be collected through an incident form; this may include information of a hospital visit (but not doctors reports) and the form typically asks if an accident is related to a Guest’s pre-existing medical history. Photos of injuries may also be collected and, in such circumstances, those photographs would constitute sensitive information. This information is transferred to the US as it may need to be reported to insurers.
  • ID information – in addition to the information outlined in Guest Information, in many locations, the passports of Guests are scanned at check-in and the scans are kept for the verification of the Guest’s identity and to comply with local laws.
  • Credit History – as part of you expressing an interest in our timeshare products, or submitting a "pre-application" for a timeshare, we may collect information about you and any co-applicant (e.g., your income, your home ownership status, your work history, your previous addresses, date of birth and bank account information, as well as credit information and credit history). The exact nature of this information may differ depending on your country of residence and the type of financing you have applied for.

  • Children’s data – Personal Information of children of Guests may be processed either incidentally (e.g., through the use of CCTV at our resorts or participation in on-site activities) or intentionally as part of local laws. For further information please see the “Personal Information about children” section below.

9. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CCTV and audio recordings

We may utilize CCTV at our properties as part of our legitimate business interests in protecting the safety of our Guests, Members, and our properties. Our CCTV practices are based on an assessment of the data protection interests of affected data subjects against our legitimate interests. This may entail consideration, for example, of the likelihood and impact of unlawful or impermissible conduct on our communities and expectations of privacy in particular facilities or spaces that may be subject to CCTV. Visible signage is displayed at all premises where CCTV is in use and no CCTV is deployed in an area where it would not otherwise be permissible under the relevant law. We may also use closed circuit television and other security measures at our properties that may capture or record images of Guests and visitors in public areas.

We may also collect information related to conversations, including audio recording or monitoring customer service calls and other communications such as in-app messages and SMS (i.e., text messages) and in-person, virtual or telephonic presentations.

Lastly, our resorts may take photographs of Guests for various purposes; where this includes photographs of children, consent of the parent/guardian will be obtained first.

Notice of Financial Incentive

From time to time, you may have the opportunity to provide Personal Information in exchange for discounts and price differences. For example, we provide discounts and price differences when you join our loyalty programs, sign up for our mailing list, or provide us with referrals. Categories of Personal Information that we may collect when you subscribe to receive discounts and price differences include your name and email address and/or the name and email address of the person you are referring.  

How to Opt-In and Right to Withdraw

Signing up for discounts and price differences through our loyalty programs, newsletter, or referral program is optional. By providing your email address or name and email address and/or the name and email address of the person you are referring, you affirmatively opt in to receiving the financial incentive and to joining our loyalty program and/or mailing list. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time.

How the Financial Incentive is Reasonably Related to the Value of Your Personal Information

The financial incentive or price difference is reasonably related to the value provided by your Personal Information. We take into consideration, without limitation, the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which we might incur in the collection, storage, and use of such information, and the anticipated expenses which we might incur related to the offer, provision, and imposition of any financial incentive or price difference. Based on this analysis, the value of your Personal Information that allows us to make these offers and financial incentives is the value of the offer itself.
