Terms of Use Privacy Policy

Privacy Notice

Last Updated: November 30, 2023

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise process your personal data in connection with our Services.

Who We Are

Tablet Hotels (“Tablet”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

Our Services 

When we use the term “Services,” we are referring only to the products and services we offer through platforms, including without limitation, our website, www.tablethotels.com, and our mobile applications.

This Privacy Notice does not cover or address, for example:

  • Any of Tablet’s other product or service offerings, including other websites and mobile applications that do not post or link to this Privacy Notice. To learn more about Tablet’s personal data practices relating to these other product or service offerings, please review their respective privacy notices.
  • Personal data and privacy practices relating to Tablet job applicants, employees or other personnel.
  • Privacy practices of our hotel partners.

In addition, we may provide additional or supplemental privacy notices to individuals for specific promotions, products, or services that we offer, at the time that we collect any additional personal data.  These supplemental privacy notices will govern how we may process the information in the context of the specific promotion, product, or service.

Customer Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (or the why and the how) of processing personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a controller subject to contractual restrictions.

As part of our business relationship with our customers, such as our hotel partners, we are often asked to receive, gather, store, analyze, or otherwise processing information, which may include personal data, on behalf of our customers. We refer to this type of information and personal data as “customer data.”  When we process customer data, we generally act as a processor. This means we process customer data on behalf of our customers subject to restrictions set forth in our contracts with them. When you book a hotel through Tablet, for example, you are directing us to share your details with the hotel to facilitate the booking.  

This Privacy Notice does not cover or address how we or our customers process customer data in connection with our role as our customers’ processor. Instead, this Privacy Notice only covers our processing of personal data in our capacity as a controller. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to customer data. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice of the business with which you have a relationship (e.g., a hotel) for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process customer data on their behalf.

Region-Specific Disclosures

Depending on your country, province or state of residence, certain rights may apply to you. Please refer below for disclosures that may be applicable to you:

  • If you are a resident of the State of California, Nevada, or Virginia in the United States, please click here for additional U.S. state-specific privacy disclosures.

What is Personal Data?

When we use the term “personal data” in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a person or household.  It does not include aggregated or de-identified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to a person.

  • Other Third Parties and Publicly Available Sources. From time to time, we may receive information about you from third parties.  For example, we may obtain information from our marketing partners or from third parties to enhance or supplement our existing user information.  Where permitted by applicable law, we may also collect information about you that is publicly available, including contact information and travel interest information.  We may combine this information with the information we collect from you directly.

To Exercise Your Privacy Rights

Please subject a request by:

We will need to verify your identity and confirm you are a resident of a state that offers the request right(s) before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful login to your account or the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. As a result, we require requests to include name, email address, and state of residency. Although we try to limit the personal data collected in connection with a request to exercise any of the above rights, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal data from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems, or where you are not a resident of one of the eligible states.

To Exercise the Right to Opt Out of the Selling or Sharing of Personal Data for Targeted Advertising Purposes

We may sell or share personal data (including Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet/Network Information, and Inferences) to certain third-party ad networks, social networks and advertising partners to deliver targeted advertising (also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”) and personalized content to you on our Services, on other sites and services you may use, and across other devices you may use, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

The third parties to whom we sell or share personal data may use such information for their own purposes, in accordance with their own privacy statements, which may include reselling or sharing this information to additional third parties.

To facilitate these targeted advertising purposes, we and our third-party providers use cookies and related technologies to collect personal data about users of our Services. To exercise your right to opt-out as it relates to the use of cookies and related technologies that involve the sale of personal data or the use of personal data for targeted advertising purposes on our Services, please click the link at the bottom of our homepage to adjust your cookie preferences.

Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.

For more information about our collection of personal data, the sources of personal data, and how we use this information, please see the Our Collection of Personal Data and Our Use of Personal Data sections of our Privacy Notice.

Disclosure of Personal Data

As described in the Our Disclosure of Personal Data section of our Privacy Notice, we disclose personal data with a variety of third parties for business purposes or we may sell or share your personal data to third parties for targeted advertising purposes, subject to your right to opt out of selling or sharing (see “How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights” above).

In the previous 12 months, we have sold or shared for targeted advertising purposes all of the categories of personal data we collect, explained above, to third parties.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. However, if necessary, we may retain personal data for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.

To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other applicable obligations.

Therefore, we retain personal data for as long as the individual continues to use our services for the purposes explained in the Our Use of Personal Data section in our Privacy Notice. When an individual discontinues the use of our services, we will retain their personal data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as, for any additional purpose based on the choices they have made, such as to receive marketing communications. In particular, we will retain call recordings, the personal data supplied when joining our services, including complaints, claims (for insurance products) and any other personal data supplied during the duration of an individual’s contract with us for the services until the statutory limitation periods have expired, when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Once retention of the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal data or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the personal data and isolate it from further processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

Notice of Financial Incentives

We offer various programs, promotions and other financial incentives that may result in differences in our prices or services offered to consumers. For example:

  • Discounts, coupons or other benefits in connection with a contest or sweepstakes or similar promotions;
  • Rewards or coupons when you refer a friend to use our service;
  • Loyalty and member programs, where you earn or receive certain rewards or benefits; or
  • Discounts, coupons, cash back, and other special offers for making reservations with our hotel partners.

To obtain access to certain of these programs and other offerings, we may collect and retain personal data, such as, but not limited to name, contact information, billing information, and account information. We may sell or share personal data with our business and marketing partners who may use this information to send you promotional communications and targeted advertising.

We have determined that the value of these programs and other incentives are reasonably related to the value of the personal data we receive and otherwise process in connection with these programs and offerings, based on our reasonable but sole determination. We estimate the value of the personal data we receive and otherwise process in connection with these programs and offerings by considering the expense we incur in collecting and processing the personal data, as well as the expenses related to facilitating the program or offering.

The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms or in the details of the incentive offer. Participating in any financial incentive program is entirely optional and participants may withdraw from the program at any time. To opt-out of the program and forgo any ongoing incentives, please follow the instructions in the program’s terms and conditions or contact us using the contact information below.  Participating individuals may also opt out of receiving marketing communications by following the instructions set forth in the Choices and Control Over Your Information section of our Privacy Notice.
