The ITALY FAMILY HOTELS Consortium is the owner of the www.italyfamilyhotels.it portal, which allows users to request offers and services for stays in all registered hotels; the Consortium also aims to raise public awareness of the local territory and to promote tourism offers through profiled marketing activities; members of the ITALY FAMILY HOTELS Consortium receive the requests for quotations and respond autonomously through their own email addresses; they also promote their direct marketing activities towards the data subjects who are requesting information, services and quotations through the same portal.

Purpose and legal basis of the data processing:
1a) Formulation of offers and quotations on the basis of requests received by filling out the forms available on the www.italyfamilyhotels.it portal. The offers shall be made directly by the hotels/accommodations facilities that you have shown interest in through a voluntary selection.
The legal basis of the data processing is a pre-contractual obligation in order to respond to the request.
1b) Additional services offered on the portal (e.g. subscription to the newsletter, downloading the catalogue, etc.) which require the acquisition of contact data in order to use them.

Optional data processing
2) Direct marketing: sending of information and newsletters on events, initiatives, on the territory and on the tourist accommodation sector relative to the market in which the ITALY FAMILY HOTELS Consortium operates, as well as promotions, newsletters and direct marketing by the ITALY FAMILY HOTELS Consortium and information on accommodation and non-accommodation activities offered by members of the Consortium, as independent data controllers.
Communications shall be sent via the contact channels you have specified, such as email, mobile
phone number, sms, whatsapp, traditional mail and/or phone calls.

This marketing activity is also accessible by subscribing to additional services offered on the portal, through a voluntary consent action.
The legal basis for the data processing is the data subject’s consent.

3) Profiling: sending of commercial information by the ITALY FAMILY HOTELS Consortium for marketing purposes, based on the information you specified in your request.
