Apartments Roberto (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”), as the data controller, operates the rental properties located in Banjole, Croatia, and our website Banjole-Apartmani.com. We are fully committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Croatian data protection laws.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you visit our website, inquire about a booking, or stay at our apartments.

 

1. Data We Collect

We only collect personal information that is necessary to process your booking, enhance your website experience, and fulfill our legal obligations as accommodation providers in Croatia:
    • Identification Data: Full name, date of birth, place of birth, gender, nationality, and government-issued ID or passport number. This data is strictly required by Croatian law to register guests in the national tourist registry system.
    • Contact Information: Email address, phone number, and physical home address.
    • Booking Details: Arrival and departure dates, number of guests, specific apartment booked, and any special requests you share with us.
    • Financial Data: Payment details (such as bank transfer details or transaction history) processed securely to finalize your booking.
    • Technical and Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and interactions with our website, collected via Google Analytics.

 

2. How and Why We Use Your Data

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
    • Performance of a Contract: To process your inquiries, manage your booking, handle payments, and provide you with our accommodation services.
    • Legal Obligations: To comply with Croatian laws (specifically the Law on Tourist Tax and the Law on Hospitality Activity), which mandate the registration of all overnight tourists through the official national eVisitor system within 24 hours of arrival. We are also legally required to retain financial invoices for tax and accounting purposes.
    • Legitimate Interests: To maintain the safety and security of our property, prevent fraud, and manage property damage claims.

 

3. Google Analytics and Cookies

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to help us analyze how visitors use our website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including a truncated/anonymized IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We use this data strictly to analyze website traffic, improve user experience, and optimize our services.
    • Your Consent: Analytical cookies are only activated if you give your explicit consent via our website’s cookie banner.
    • Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by adjusting your browser settings or by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

 

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We never sell your personal data. We only share your information with trusted third parties necessary for our operations:
    • Government & Authorities: The Ministry of Tourism and Sport and local tourist boards (specifically the Medulin Municipality Tourist Board) via the eVisitor system, as well as Croatian tax authorities.
    • Booking & Payment Platforms: Third-party online travel agencies you may have used (e.g., Booking.com, Airbnb) to transfer booking data.
    • Essential Service Providers: Our certified accounting services, website hosting partners, or authorized maintenance personnel (only if emergency repairs are required during your stay).

 

5. Data Security and Retention

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. We store your data only as long as legally required:
    • Booking data is kept for the duration of your stay and follow-up communication.
    • eVisitor registration data is stored in accordance with statutory retention periods defined by Croatian tourism regulations.
    • Financial records and invoices are legally retained for up to 11 years, as mandated by Croatian tax law.

As a data subject, you hold specific rights under the GDPR regarding your personal data:
    • Right of Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
    • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
    • Right to Processing / Erasure: You can request that we delete your data (“Right to be Forgotten”), provided we are not legally obligated to keep it for tax, eVisitor registration, or regulatory reasons.
    • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent for website cookies and Google Analytics tracking at any time.
    • Right to Complain: You have the right to file a complaint with the Croatian Data Protection Authority (AZOP – Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka).
