Your personal data is used to, among other things, send booking confirmations, handle any administration regarding your booking, handle payments and manage any other issues regarding your booking and your stay with us.

When creating a customer profile, you need to submit the personal data required to complete your booking. By confirming a booking through our website and agreeing to our booking terms, you consent to letting Destination Apelviken treat your personal data according to our integrity policy and current legislation. Personal data is also requested when you place bookings via email or phone, and a customer profile is then created. A confirmation of your booking will be sent to the email address you have provided.
Storing personal data
Personal data which we have saved in connection with the booking made for you as our guest will be saved for two years after the final day of your visit, and will then be deleted, provided all our transactions have been settled. We will retain your email address for purposes of direct marketing until you object to this or withdraw your consent. If you do, we will immediately delete your email address and send you no further marketing emails.
Your personal data may also be saved for the time period specified by applicable legislation, such as 7 years in order to meet requirements stated by the Swedish Bookkeeping Act. In other cases we will review our management of personal data on a regular basis, and delete your data if you have not been in contact with us after a certain, longer period of time.
Recipients of personal data
Destination Apelviken will not sell your personal data to any third party.
We will share your personal data with a number of personal data processors, which are companies that aid us with, among other things, administration, website issues and marketing. These processors manage the personal data on our behalf, and we have a number of personal data processor contracts in place in order to ensure that the treatment of your personal data is compliant with any applicable legislation.
Further, we may share your personal data with certain authorities, if such actions are required to comply with any legal obligations to which we are bound. In such instances, the authority is the party responsible for your personal data, and its management.
Your rights
If you wish to gain further insight into the management of your personal data, you have the right to request to see the information we have stored about you. If we receive such a request, we will issue a number of counterquestions in order to ensure that your data is not shared with the wrong person. You also have a right to request corrections of your personal data.
We will always delete your data to the extent required by applicable legislation, and we will of course do our best at all times to comply with your request for deletion. You also have the right to object to our management of your data (such as the treatment based on our legitimate interests) or request that the data you have submitted to us is transferred to another party who controls it (known as data portability).
Your personal data cannot be processed for direct marketing or profiling if you object to such processing. In addition, you have the right to withdraw at any time your previously given consent, e.g. the consent you give as an individual when you subscribe to our newsletter.
Complaints and supervisory authorities
If you feel that we have managed your personal data in an incorrect way, you have a right to submit a complaint to the Swedish Data Protection Authority which acts as the supervisory authority for the management of personal data.
