If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email. You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP to any text message or by contacting us directly. Please note that even if you opt out of promotional communications, we will still send you transactional messages related to your reservation.

Pacific View Lodging does not sell, rent, or share personal information (such as phone numbers, email addresses, names, or any other identifiable information) with other companies or individuals outside of Pacific View Lodging and our essential service providers, except in the following limited circumstances:
With Your Consent: We require opt-in consent for sharing of any personally identifiable information. Consent may be provided explicitly in writing, by checking a box on an online consent form, or by providing your phone number for SMS communications.

- Our property management system (OwnerRez)

- Satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request
- Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigating potential violations

Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.
Information Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical and technical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Pacific View Lodging employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and legal action, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data Integrity
Pacific View Lodging processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy. We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store, and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our guests to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and Updating Personal Information
When you use Pacific View Lodging's services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.
We ask individual guests to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
To access, update, or delete your personal information, please contact us at reservations@pacificviewlodging.com or 833-722-8439.

Pacific View Lodging regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or Pacific View Lodging's treatment of personal information by contacting us at reservations@pacificviewlodging.com or 833-722-8439. When we receive formal written complaints, Pacific View Lodging's policy is to contact the complaining guest regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Pacific View Lodging and an individual.

- Legal Basis: When you complete a reservation and sign our rental agreement, you provide clear consent and establish a contractual relationship that serves as the legal basis for our use of your personal information under GDPR principles.
- Data Retention: Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Upon request, we can remove your PII from our systems, subject to legal and legitimate business retention requirements.
