| > | ke our services better and enhance our travelers’ experience. For more details, | ||||
| > | see the How we use artificial intelligence and make automated decisions section. | ||||
| 130 | In addition to the statistics we generate regularly about our business, we use d | ||||

| > | ights into how our services perform, how they are used, and ultimately how to op | ||||
| > | timize and customize our website and mobile apps, in an effort to make them easi | ||||
| > | er and more meaningful to use. In order to achieve this purpose, we may combine | ||||
| > | personal data we collect from you during different visits to our platform or vis | ||||
| > | its on different devices or different websites of ours, even when you are not lo | ||||
| > | gged in. | ||||
| 131 | To do this, we use personal data such as: | ||||
| 132 | Reservations made by travelers over specific periods of time or for specific pro | ||||

| > | the destination. | ||||
| 142 | The reviews help to inform other travelers about the quality of the trip service | ||||
| > | you used, the destination you chose, the ground transportation, or any other ex | ||||
| > | periences you choose to share without disclosing your identity. Reviews submitte | ||||
| > | d by travelers are subject to our Terms of Service and to automated and other co | ||||
| > | ntent moderation to verify that reviews conform with our Content standards and g | ||||
| > | uidelines. If a review you submit is not accepted in line with our content moder | ||||
| > | ation standards, we may still process the rejected review, for example, for impr | ||||
| > | oving our services. | ||||
| 143 | If you have a Booking.com account, you can choose to display a screen name next | ||||
| > | to your review, instead of your first name. | ||||
| 144 | Call monitoring | ||||
| 145 | When you make calls to our customer service team, we use an automated telephone | ||||
| > | number detection system to match the number you call from to the reservation you | ||||
| > | made. This saves time for you and our customer service staff. However, our cust | ||||
| > | omer service staff may still ask for additional identification to ensure it is y | ||||
| > | ou calling about the reservation. | ||||
| 146 | When you call our customer service team, we may have one or more authorized pers | ||||
| > | ons listen to the call or record the call for training and quality control purpo | ||||
| > | ses. This quality control includes the usage of the recordings to handle possibl | ||||
| > | e complaints, legal claims, and indications of possible fraud attempts. | ||||
| 147 | We do not record every call made to our customer service team. If a call is reco | ||||
| > | rded, it is kept for a limited amount of time (30 days by default). We then auto | ||||
| > | matically delete the call recording unless we determine before then that it will | ||||
| > | be necessary to retain it for fraud investigation or legal purposes. | ||||
| 148 | Promotion of a safe and trustworthy service and the prevention of fraud | ||||
| 149 | We continuously analyze and use certain personal data to prevent and detect onli | ||||
| > | ne fraud attempts and other illegal or unwanted activities. This is necessary to | ||||
| > | maintain our platform as a trustworthy environment as well as for the safety of | ||||
| > | all travelers. | ||||
| 150 | We use personal data for safety and security purposes, including when you report | ||||
| > | a safety concern, when others do so about you, or when we need to identify pers | ||||

| 186 | How we share personal data with third parties | ||||
| 187 | In certain circumstances, we’ll share your personal data with third parties. The | ||||
| > | se third parties include: | ||||
| 188 | The trip provider you booked with | ||||
| 189 | In order to complete your trip reservation, we need to transfer relevant reserva | ||||
| > | tion details to the trip provider you have chosen. | ||||
| 190 | Depending on the trip reservation and the trip provider, the details we share ca | ||||
| > | n include your name, contact and payment details, the names of the people accomp | ||||
| > | anying you, and any other relevant information (e.g. check-in/check-out dates), | ||||
| > | including preferences you specified when you made your trip reservation. | ||||
| 191 | In certain cases, we also provide some summary information about you to the trip | ||||
| > | provider. This can include: | ||||
| 192 | Whether your account is verified | ||||
| 193 | Whether you’ve booked with the trip provider in the past | ||||
| 194 | The number of completed reservations you’ve made with us | ||||
| 195 | The absence of reports to Booking.com regarding misconduct involving you | ||||
| 196 | The percentage of reservations you may have canceled in the past on our platform | ||||
| 197 | Whether you’ve given reviews about past reservations | ||||
| 198 | If you have a query about your trip, we may contact the trip provider to handle | ||||
| > | your request. Unless payment is made to Booking.com itself during the reservatio | ||||
| > | n process, we need to forward your credit card details to the trip provider you | ||||
| > | chose for payment processing. | ||||
| 199 | To resolve possible trip-related claims or disputes or any other kind of custome | ||||
| > | r service issue, we may provide the trip provider on an as-needed basis with you | ||||
| > | r contact details and other information about the reservation, claim, or dispute | ||||
| > | . This can include, for example, your email address and a copy of your reservati | ||||
| > | on confirmation to confirm that the trip reservation was made or the reasons for | ||||
| > | its cancellation. | ||||
| 200 | Trip providers will further process your personal data outside of the control of | ||||
| > | Booking.com to prepare for arriving and departing guests, for example. Trip pro | ||||
| > | viders may also ask for additional personal data, for instance to provide additi | ||||
| > | onal services and to comply with local requirements and restrictions. If availab | ||||
| > | le, read the privacy notice of the trip provider to understand how they process | ||||
| > | your personal data. | ||||
| 201 | Strategic partners | ||||
| 202 | We work with many strategic partners around the world. These strategic partners | ||||
| > | distribute and advertise Booking.com services, including the services and produc | ||||
| > | ts of our trip providers. Depending on the strategic partner, you may make your | ||||
| > | trip reservation through: | ||||
| 203 | our website that’s operated in partnership with a strategic partner; or | ||||
| 204 | strategic partners’ websites or mobile apps. | ||||
| 205 | For the former, the strategic partners will receive certain personal data relate | ||||
| > | d to your specific reservation and your interactions on these websites. This is | ||||
| > | for the legitimate interest of Booking.com or our strategic partners. | ||||
| 206 | For the latter, certain personal data that you give them, such as your name and | ||||
| > | email address, your address, payment details, and other relevant information, wi | ||||
| > | ll be forwarded to us to finalize and manage your trip reservation. With these s | ||||
| > | trategic partners, we may act as joint controllers for processing of specific pe | ||||
| > | rsonal data. When we do act as joint controllers, you will be informed, includin | ||||
| > | g to which joint controller to address your specific request to exercise rights. | ||||
| > | We may collaborate with our joint controllers to ensure an adequate response to | ||||
| > | your request. | ||||
| 207 | For fraud detection and prevention purposes, we may also exchange information ab | ||||
| > | out our users with strategic partners – but only when strictly necessary. | ||||
| 208 | Connectivity providers | ||||
| 209 | Many trip providers contract with specific third-party companies (often referred | ||||
| > | to as “connectivity providers”) to automate the routing of reservation informat | ||||
| > | ion from Booking.com and other members of the travel industry to them. | ||||
| 210 | Connectivity providers act on behalf of trip providers (rather than Booking.com) | ||||
| > | and forward reservation information to them so they can manage their reservatio | ||||
| > | ns in their systems. | ||||
| 211 | Third-party service providers | ||||
| 212 | We use service providers to support us in providing our trip services. The servi | ||||
| > | ces these third-party companies provide include: | ||||
| 213 | Customer support | ||||
| 214 | Industry/market research | ||||
| 215 | Fraud detection and prevention (including anti-fraud screening) | ||||
| 216 | Insurance coverage claims handling | ||||
| 217 | Payment processing | ||||
| 218 | We use third parties to electronically process payments, handle chargebacks, or | ||||
| > | provide billing collection services. The payment service providers may, in some | ||||
| > | cases, use your personal data for their own purposes, such as to detect and prev | ||||
| > | ent fraud attempts and to comply with legal obligations applicable to them. | ||||
| 219 | When a chargeback is requested for your trip reservation, either by you or by th | ||||
| > | e holder of the credit card used to make your reservation, we need to share cert | ||||
| > | ain reservation details with the payment service provider and the relevant finan | ||||
| > | cial service organization so they can handle the chargeback. This may also inclu | ||||
| > | de a copy of your reservation confirmation or the IP address used to make your r | ||||
| > | eservation. | ||||
| 220 | We may also share information with relevant financial institutions, if we consid | ||||
| > | er it strictly necessary for fraud prevention purposes, for example, to prevent | ||||
| > | the fraudulent use of a stolen credit card. | ||||
| 221 | Marketing services | ||||
| 222 | We may share some of your personal data (such as identifiers) with advertising p | ||||
| > | artners, as part of the marketing of our trip services through third parties (to | ||||
| > | ensure that relevant advertisements are shown to the right audience and to meas | ||||
| > | ure the effectiveness of different marketing activities). | ||||
| 223 | We use techniques such as hashing specific personal data (e.g. email address, te | ||||
| > | lephone number) to enable matching with data in one or more of their databases. | ||||
| > | Such techniques limit what the receiving third-party company can do with the per | ||||
| > | sonal data we selectively share with them. | ||||
| 224 | When sharing audience insights with advertising partners and other third parties | ||||
| > | , we ensure that your personal data is aggregated and pseudonymized so the adver | ||||
| > | tising partners and other parties cannot directly identify you (e.g. through the | ||||
| > | use of data clean rooms). These pseudonymized insights are used to develop cust | ||||
| > | omized media proposals and pitches for our partners. | ||||
| 225 | As part of the account verification process, we may share some of your account d | ||||
| > | ata (such as your name, email address, phone number, passport number, physical a | ||||
| > | ddress), linked social media account, passport, or other identification document | ||||
| > | (s) with a third party. A third party may use a detection system to verify that | ||||
| > | you are a real person and not a bot. This process is automated, and the data is | ||||
| > | not retained beyond what is necessary for verification. | ||||
| 226 | Other professional third parties | ||||
| 227 | In some cases (e.g. disputes, legal claims, or as part of auditing activities), | ||||
| > | we may need to share your personal data with representatives of professional ser | ||||
| > | vice organizations. These representatives can include legal counsels at law firm | ||||
| > | s as well as auditors. We only share your personal data to the extent that is ne | ||||
| > | cessary and in line with contractual and other obligations applicable to them. | ||||
| 228 | Competent authorities | ||||
| 229 | We follow specific protocols when law enforcement agencies and other government | ||||
| > | bodies request that we disclose personal data about one or more travelers in con | ||||
| > | nection with a possible criminal matter. We may also disclose personal data to l | ||||
| > | aw enforcement agencies in connection with possible cases of fraud. | ||||
| 230 | We follow similar protocols where, for example, EU and local laws additionally r | ||||
| > | equire us to share personal data with a competent authority, such as a tax autho | ||||
| > | rity. We may be required to disclose personal data to: | ||||
| 231 | Comply with a legal obligation, for instance, under applicable short-term rental | ||||
| > | laws | ||||
| 232 | Protect and defend our rights or the rights and interests of our business partne | ||||
| > | rs. | ||||
| 233 | Other business partners | ||||
| 234 | We may share personal data in other instances with other business partners. Thes | ||||
| > | e include: | ||||
| 235 | Insurance companies: If an insurance claim is made, concerning you and a trip pr | ||||
| > | ovider, we may provide the necessary data (including personal data) to the insur | ||||
| > | ance company and their appointed representatives for further processing. | ||||
| 236 | Other trip providers: We may present you with a “Partner offer.” When you book a | ||||
| > | n accommodation marked “Partner offer,” your reservation will be facilitated by | ||||
| > | a trip provider who is separate from the accommodation you’re booking. As part o | ||||
| > | f the reservation process, we’ll need to share some relevant personal data with | ||||
| > | this trip provider. If you book a “Partner offer,” review the information provid | ||||
| > | ed in the reservation process or check your reservation confirmation for more in | ||||
| > | formation about the trip provider and how your personal data will be further pro | ||||
| > | cessed by them. | ||||
| 237 | Safeguards for international transfers of personal data | ||||
| 238 | Booking.com is a business that connects travelers and partners around the world. | ||||
| > | The data that we collect from you, as described in this privacy notice, could b | ||||
| > | e accessible from, transferred to, or stored in countries that may not have the | ||||
| > | same data protection laws as those of the country in which you initially provide | ||||
| > | d the information. In any case, we apply appropriate safeguards to make sure tha | ||||
| > | t cross-border transfers of personal data comply with applicable law and seek to | ||||
| > | ensure that your data continues to receive a comparable level of protection. | ||||
| 239 | In particular, if you’re in the European Economic Area (EEA) and your personal d | ||||
| > | ata is transferred to third-party service providers in countries not considered | ||||
| > | adequate by the European Commission (EC), we establish and implement appropriate | ||||
| > | contractual, organizational, and technical measures with these third-party comp | ||||
| > | anies. This is done by using Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the EC, | ||||
| > | by examining the countries to which the data may be transferred, and by imposin | ||||
| > | g specific technical and organizational measures. | ||||
| 240 | In certain cases, we transfer your data outside the EEA because it’s necessary t | ||||
| > | o conclude or perform the contract we have with you. For example, if you make a | ||||
| > | trip reservation involving a trip provider or strategic partner operating outsid | ||||
| > | e the EEA, it’s likely to require that we transfer data about your specific rese | ||||
| > | rvation outside the EEA. | ||||
| 241 | For transfers of your personal data outside of the United Kingdom (UK), we apply | ||||
| > | the equivalent mechanisms and appropriate safeguards for the UK. | ||||
| 242 | For transfers within Booking.com group entities, we've implemented Binding Corpo | ||||
| > | rate Rules (BCRs) as a further safeguard to help ensure your data remains approp | ||||
| > | riately protected when transferred outside of the EEA. You can find information | ||||
| > | about our BCRs here. | ||||
| 243 | You can ask us for more information on our implemented safeguards by contacting | ||||

| 429 | This includes, among other things, that we: | ||||
| 430 | Maintain a comprehensive framework of security policies, procedures, and protoco | ||||
| > | ls | ||||
| 431 | Employ personnel dedicated to cybersecurity and data protection | ||||
| 432 | Keep staff alert to security risks through continual security training and aware | ||||
| > | ness activities | ||||
| 433 | Use up-to-date security technologies such as encryption and data leakage prevent | ||||
| > | ion to help guard against unauthorized data disclosure or destruction | ||||
| 434 | Maintain inventories to provide oversight over processes, systems, and data asse | ||||
| > | ts | ||||
| 435 | Use multiple systems for fraud prevention/detection and continuous system monito | ||||
| > | ring, including for security purposes | ||||
| 436 | Use identity and access management and other logical and physical access restric | ||||
| > | tions to control that only authorized personnel can access personal data | ||||
| 437 | Maintain and test protocols to respond to reports about possible incidents and d | ||||
| > | ata breaches | ||||
| 438 | Verify and enhance our security systems, procedures, and protocols on a recurrin | ||||
| > | g basis | ||||
| 439 | Impose equivalent measures on third parties we appoint | ||||
| 440 | We use retention practices to keep and, where possible under applicable law, dis | ||||
| > | pose of personal data. Generally, we keep your personal data for as long as is n | ||||
| > | ecessary to: | ||||
| 441 | Enable you to use our services or to provide our services to you | ||||
| 442 | Prevent and detect online fraud attempts and/or other illegal activities | ||||
| 443 | Comply with legal obligations such as those from accounting and tax laws | ||||
| 444 | Resolve any disputes and legal claims | ||||
| 445 | How you can further protect your personal data on Booking.com | ||||
| 446 | Although not mandatory for your use of the Booking.com platform, we recommend th | ||||
| > | at you: | ||||
| 447 | Create an account where available on our platform. By using an account, you can | ||||
| > | protect access to your data, such as your reservation history and your Wallet, f | ||||
| > | or example, with a strong password as well as two-factor authentication. | ||||
| 448 | Use unique passwords for every online service, including for your Booking.com ac | ||||
| > | count. If you reuse username and password combinations across multiple services | ||||
| > | and one of these services suffers a data leak, malicious actors typically try us | ||||
| > | ing the same combinations to gain access to your user accounts at other online s | ||||
| > | ervices. Where we detect such malicious attacks impacting travelers, we quickly | ||||
| > | take countermeasures such as blocking accounts at risk and alerting account hold | ||||
| > | ers. | ||||
| 449 | Read (and follow the guidance from) articles we may make available to you about | ||||
| > | online fraud prevention and data protection. Online fraud attempts typically inv | ||||
| > | olve social engineering and “phishing” schemes. For example, fraudsters pretend | ||||
| > | to be a specific accommodation and ask a traveler for payment where this is not | ||||
| > | necessary. You should contact Customer Service if you suspect there is a possibl | ||||
| > | e fraud attempt in connection with your reservation. | ||||

| 467 | How we use artificial intelligence and make automated decisions | ||||
| 468 | We are always looking for opportunities to innovate and improve the customer exp | ||||

| > | We currently use AI for the following purposes: | ||||
| 469 | Promotion of a safe and trustworthy service and prevention of fraudMachine learn | ||||
| > | ing AI systems monitor our platforms for fraud attempts, complaints, and possibl | ||||
| > | e traveler or trip provider misconduct at a much faster rate and with greater ac | ||||
| > | curacy than solely manual monitoring. The AI systems scan transactions and conte | ||||
| > | nt (including content submitted by users, e.g. images) on our platform for risk | ||||
| > | indicators. Transactions and content that are identified as indicative of higher | ||||
| > | fraud risk are flagged for human review and may be hidden or removed from the p | ||||
| > | latform. | ||||
| 470 | Showing you the most relevant contentWe use additional AI systems to improve the | ||||
| > | customer experience and personalization on our platform. This includes the use | ||||
| > | of AI to predict the optimal/most relevant category of products for you and brin | ||||
| > | g the best options to your attention. This may include sending you details of a | ||||
| > | trip we think you would be interested in, displaying tailored complementary trip | ||||
| > | offerings on our website, and ranking search results to put the best matches at | ||||

| > | erences you share and maintain a memory of your conversations and interactions s | ||||
| > | o we can tailor your user experience across our platform, making it more persona | ||||
| > | lized and relevant to you. The memories are generated by a third-party AI model. | ||||
| > | This can include preferences like your travel style, budget, or specific needs. | ||||
| > | For instance, if you mention, “Remember that I always need a hotel with an elec | ||||
| > | tric vehicle charging station,” our AI can remember this preference for future s | ||||
| > | earches and recommendations so you don't have to repeat yourself.Sometimes, a pr | ||||
| > | eference you ask us to remember may collect special category data about you, suc | ||||
| > | h as health or religious information (for instance, if you ask us: “Can you reme | ||||
| > | mber that I always need a wheelchair-accessible room?”). We will only generate t | ||||
