Purpose of Policy
Melody Guest House values our guests and respects their concerns about privacy. We believe every guest’s private information should be handled with due care and be used only for the purpose for which it was made available to us. This privacy policy sets out how we use and protect any information that you provide when you use this website, enquire about accommodation or make a reservation with us.
Collection, Use and Protection of Private Information
Melody Guest House will not collect any private information about you if you simply browse this website. In the event, however, that you make a reservation or enquire about accommodation, we will need certain private information to complete the transaction. The private information which we will need includes, without limitation, your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number and room preference, if any. None of this information will be obtained unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide it to us. Such private information will be made available to the operator of our reservation system, but in any case only for the purpose of completing the reservation or responding to the enquiry.
We store this information for record keeping purposes only, as part of our normal business practice or to comply with legislation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this privacy policy, such information is not used by us again after the completion of your stay, cancelation of your reservation or declining our response to your enquiry.
We will not sell, rent, license or disclose any private information which we obtain from you through your visit to our website, enquiry or reservation for accommodation or use such private information for any purpose other than the normal business operation of Melody Guest House. We reserve the right, however, to use your private information to mail marketing materials, customer satisfaction surveys and similar items to you as we determine are appropriate to increase the use of Melody Guesthouse, to obtain customer feedback or otherwise to improve the operation of Melody Guest House. Continuation of these actions will however be subject to your consent on receiving correspondence from us.
On certain occasions, we request your email address for purposes of correspondence, confirmation or cancellation of reservations. If you wish to add your name to, or remove your name from our email contact list, simply inform us in writing via email or SMS and your email address will be removed. We will not share your email address with anyone outside our company nor disclose private information to any third party.
