3. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR DATA
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
• To process and manage reservations, check-ins, and check-outs.

• To communicate with you about bookings, updates, promotions, or other offers, unless you opt out.
• To respond to your inquiries, feedback, and requests.
• To personalize your stay, including room preferences, amenities, or special requests.

4. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We may share your personal information with:
• Our affiliates, subsidiaries, or other companies within the MU HEN KO group.
• Service providers, vendors, or contractors who help operate our Services (e.g. payment processors, property management, housekeeping, IT and security services).

• Third parties in connection with any sale, merger or acquisition of our business (with appropriate confidentiality).
• Other third parties you have permitted or requested.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:
• Improve user experience, monitor usage, and understand how our website and digital services are used.
• Facilitate functionality (e.g. logging in, language preferences).
• Collect analytics and performance data.
You may disable or reject cookies via your browser settings, though this may affect how certain parts of the Services function.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and for permitted analytics. Once no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize the information.
8. YOUR RIGHTS
Under APPI, you have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:
• The right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to request correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal information.
• The right to request that we cease use of your personal information in certain cases.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. This includes secure data storage, encryption where appropriate, access controls, and staff training.
10. DATA BREACH NOTICE
In the event of a serious data breach that could harm the rights and interests of individuals, we will notify the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) acting under APPI and affected individuals, where required under the law. We will also take steps to mitigate harm and prevent a recurrence.
11. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION
Our Services are generally not directed to children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without parent or guardian consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
