We consider you an important customer. Our first priority is to offer you exceptional services and experiences through the Accor Plus membership programme, for example, by giving access to benefits across participating hotels and restaurants and other activities.

Your complete satisfaction and confidence in Accor Plus is absolutely essential to us.

That’s why, as part of our commitment to meeting your expectations, we have set up the Accor Plus personal data protection charter. This charter formalises our commitments to you and describes how Accor Group may use your personal data for the Accor Plus programme.

This charter is specific to the Accor Plus programme operated by the Accor Group.

For the processing of your personal data by a member of the Accor Group, outside the Accor Plus programme, the Accor Group personal data protection charter will apply – https://all.accor.com/a/en/information/data-protection.html.

For example, the Accor Group personal data protection charter will apply to collection of the data necessary to organise your stay at an Accor branded hotel through the Accor SA central booking engine.

It can be a bit confusing we know! The charters reflect aligned principles and practices for protecting your personal data. But they set out the different processing that may occur to your personal data depending on whether it is being dealt with for the Accor Plus programme under this charter and / or purposes covered by the Accor Group personal data protection charter.

In this charter, “Accor Group” means:

• Accor SA, Accor Group with registered offices at 82 rue Henri Farman, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux, France;
• subsidiary or “family” companies of Accor SA involved in the hotel businesses of the Accor Group; and
• hotels operated under one of the Accor Group brands throughout the world. The list of brands can be viewed on ALL.com.

Accor Plus is a paid subscription programme operated by the Accor Group. Your registration with Accor Plus will automatically enroll you in the ALL – Accor Live Limitless loyalty programme operated by Accor SA. The Accor Group personal data protection charter applies to your participation in the ALL – Accor Live Limitless loyalty programme.

Member entitlements under the Accor Plus programme are delivered by entities within the Accor Group and programme partners. This is why, when participating in the Accor Plus programme, your personal data will be dealt with by the Accor Group and programme partners, both acting as Data Controllers for their own, separate, purposes. In summary:

• the Accor Group will process your data because it manages the Accor Plus programme; and
• each programme partner will process your data to manage its contractual relationship with you including to allow to you access the member entitlements (invoicing, payment, booking management etc.), to perform marketing activities and to comply with its legal obligations.

In accordance with applicable regulations, we have instituted the following ten principles throughout the Accor Group:

1. Lawfulness: We use personal data only if permitted by law. The lawful basis may be one of the following:

• we obtain the consent of the person, OR
• it is necessary to do so for the performance of a contract to which the person is a party, OR
• it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, OR
• it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the person, OR
• we have a legitimate interest in using personal data and our usage does not adversely affect the persons’ rights

2. Fairness: We can explain why we need the personal data we collect.

3. Purpose limitation and data minimisation: We only use personal data that we really need. If the result can be achieved with less personal data, then we make sure we use the minimum data required.

4. Transparency: We inform people about the way we process their personal data.

5. We facilitate the exercise of the people’s rights: including access to their personal data, rectification and erasure of their personal data and the right to object to the use of their personal data.

6. Storage limitation: We retain personal data for a limited period.

7. We ensure the security of personal data, i.e. its integrity and confidentiality.

8. If a third party uses personal data, we make sure it has the capacity to protect that personal data.

9. If personal data is transferred outside the jurisdiction where it is collected, we ensure this transfer is covered by specific legal tools.

10. If personal data is compromised (lost, stolen, damaged, unavailable…), where required by law, we notify such breaches to the respective jurisdiction’s responsible authority and to the person concerned, if the breach is likely to cause a high-risk in respect of the rights and freedoms of this person (or otherwise in accordance with the test for notification applied in each jurisdiction).

If such data is sent, you can contact the Data Privacy department (see clause “YOUR RIGHTS” below) to arrange for this information to be deleted.

In order to meet your requirements or provide you with a specific service (such as dietary requirements), we may have to collect sensitive information, such as information concerning religious beliefs, or details of health. In this case, we will only process this data if you provide your express prior consent.

If, when you apply for an Accor Plus membership, you elect to register a secondary card holder, we will be entitled to assume you are validly acting on behalf of that individual to authorise the collection, use and disclosure of their personal data as set out in this charter.

Personal data may be collected on a variety of occasions, including:

a. Registration in Accor Plus (and renewal of registration).
b. Logging onto your Accor Plus account to make a booking.
c. When a programme partner provides us with details about your booking with them for an Accor Plus entitlement.

Providing personal data is voluntary. However, if you do not provide the requested information, we may be unable to enroll you in the Accor Plus programme or provide you with access to Accor Plus benefits.

We will use your data in order to provide you with Accor Plus services, including to help you make reservations for member entitlements, send information about our new offers or promotions and to send information about other Accor Group promotions. The table below sets out more details on why we process your data, the lawful basis for the processing and the associated retention period.

Unless we have a legitimate business or legal purpose to retain your personal data, we will delete or anonymise your personal data, as required by the law of your jurisdiction. We will keep your information for the shorter of (a) the retention period provided below, or (b) the period permitted under law.

We require you to accept the terms of this charter when you apply for your Accor Plus membership. By accepting the terms of this charter you also agree or give consent (where required) to collection, use and disclosure of your personal data as set out in this charter. Additionally, you may separately choose to consent to receive information about your membership and marketing offers from Accor Plus via email, SMS and telephone. You can choose to opt-out of receiving these communications or from any channel at any time once you have activated your membership account.

The Accor Plus programme operates in many jurisdictions. Thus, we have to share your personal data with internal and external recipients subject to the following conditions:

This data processing will allow Accor Plus and its privileged contractual partners to determine your interests and customer profile to allow us to send you personalised offers.
• Social networking sites: In order to allow you to be identified on the Accor Group websites without the need to fill out a registration form, Accor SA has put in place a social network login system. If you log in using the social network login system, you explicitly authorise Accor SA to access and store the public data on your social network account (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Instagram…), as well as other data stated during use of such social network login system.

c. With local authorities: We may be obliged to send your information to local authorities if this is required by law or as part of an inquiry. We will ensure that any such transfer is carried out in accordance with local regulations.

For the purposes set out in clause 7 of this charter, we may transfer your personal data to internal or external recipients who may be in jurisdictions offering different levels of personal data protection.
Consequently, in addition to implementation of this charter, Accor employs appropriate measures to ensure secure transfer of your personal data to an Accor entity or to an external recipient located in a jurisdiction offering a different level of privacy from that in the jurisdiction where the personal data was collected.
