Data collection

Google customers use tags on web pages and an SDK for mobile apps to enable Google measurement products. The measurement data collected helps customers understand their users’ needs and, optionally, personalize the user experience and offer relevant advertising (see Advertising personalization).

Google tags and the SDK use cookies and app instance IDs, respectively, to measure user interaction. While these identifiers provide information about user behavior, Google prohibits customers from sending Personally Identifiable Information to Google Analytics. Even so, use of cookies and app IDs falls under the privacy laws mentioned previously. Google customers need to inform users about the information being stored and give them the opportunity to grant or deny their consent.

See the following sections on this page to:

• Learn how Google collects and processes information about website and app usage: Information for sites and apps using Google Analytics.
• Learn about our user policies and controls: Information for visitors of sites and apps using Google Analytics.

Use of personal data

As a provider of luxury hospitality experiences worldwide, The Concrete Guy has a legitimate business interest in operating and improving its business and the services it offers. The Concrete Guy therefore uses and processes your personal data to:

• help us create content that is relevant to our visitors;
• make improvements to our websites and social media pages and ensure that content on these is presented in the most effective manner for you;
• provide you with information about our products and services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, including tailored communications based on your interests and circumstances, such as birthday messages;
• manage general record keeping;
• enable us to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our websites and to help us improve the structure of our websites;
• meet any legal and/or regulatory requirements;
• provide the products or services you request from us including providing personalised services; and
• improve our products and services and to ensure our products and services are of interest to you.

Even where The Concrete Guy has a legitimate interest in processing your personal data, it will not do so to the extent that processing would override your interests, rights and freedoms to protect your personal data.

We may also use your personal data to protect against and prevent fraud, claims, and other liabilities and to comply with or enforce applicable legal requirements, industry standards, and our policies and terms. We use personal data for these purposes when it is necessary to protect, exercise or defend our legal rights, or when we are required to do so by applicable law.

In the situations set out below, we will only process your personal data when you have given us your specific consent and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time:

• marketing and profiling purposes, including sending marketing communications that are tailored to your interests and circumstances, which are managed solely by The Concrete Guy as data controller for the The Concrete Guy LLC. Your decision to provide your data for such purposes is optional and will have no consequence on your ability to stay with us or benefit from the requested services;
• all purposes concerning a specific booking, the related stay or travel with us, and the provision of stay-specific services you have requested, in relation to processing of the relevant personal data by another member of the The Concrete Guy Property which collects that data. Your decision to provide personal data (including special category/sensitive personal data) to us is voluntary, however, if you do not provide such personal data you may no longer be able to benefit from our services.

We may process your personal data by both automated and manual means. We may use your personal data in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service as well as our internal Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) for purposes of following up and customer communication which may be handled through email, sms text message or phone call.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent’s consent before We collect and use that information.
