Users of our website
The browsing system and the software that enables our websites to operate collect data that are routinely generated in the use of Internet protocols. This data category includes, among others, the IP address or the domain name of the computer used by the person logging on to the website. This information is not associated with specific users and is used with the sole purpose of obtaining statistical information about use of the website.

Other data collection channels
We also obtain data through face-to-face contacts and other channels such as receiving e-mails, through our profiles on the social media and during the registration process for Wi-Fi services. In all cases, the data are used solely for the specific purposes that justify collection and processing
What is the legal basis for processing the data
The data processing we perform has different legal justifications, depending on the nature of each type of processing.
In compliance with a precontractual relationship. This applies to the data of prospective customers or suppliers with whom a relationship is established prior to conclusion of a contractual relationship, such as preparing or studying estimates. It also applies to the processing of data of people who have sent us their CVs or who are taking part in selection processes.
In compliance with a contractual relationship. This applies to relationships with our customers and suppliers and all the activities and uses entailed by such relationships.
In compliance with legal obligations. The transfer of data to the Tax Administration is governed by rules that regulate business relationships. It may be necessary to transfer data to judicial authorities or security forces, also in compliance with legal provisions that compel collaboration with these public authorities.
Based on consent. When we send information about our services, we process the addressees’ contact details with their explicit authorization or consent. The browsing data that we may obtain with cookies are obtained with the consent of the person who visits our website. This consent can be revoked at any time by uninstalling these cookies. We also transfer personal data to other companies in our group with the prior consent of each person concerned.
For a legitimate interest. The images obtained with the video surveillance cameras are processed on the basis of our company’s legitimate interest to protect its assets and facilities. Our legitimate interest also justifies processing of the data obtained from the contact forms.
Who are the data disclosed to
As a general rule, we only transfer data to public administrations or authorities and always in compliance with legal obligations. The identifying data of the people who stay at our establishments are notified the Police (concerning the obligation to register and notify to the Police the identity of the people who stay at lodging establishments).
When issuing invoices to customers, the data may be notified to banks. Furthermore, if consent has been given, the data may be made available to other companies belonging to our group for the purposes stated above.
For the performance of certain tasks, we contract the services of companies or people who provide us their experience and expertise. On certain occasions, these companies need to access personal data held by us. This is not a data transfer as such but should be considered a processing assignment. We only contract services from companies that can guarantee compliance with data protection regulations. At the time of contracting the service, such suppliers’ confidentiality obligations are formally stated and their activities are monitored. This may be the case of data hosting services, IT support services or legal, accounting or tax advisors.
For how long do we keep the data
We comply with the legal obligation to limit as much as possible the period during which the data are kept. Consequently, we only keep them for such time as is necessary and justified for the purpose for which they were obtained. In certain cases, such as the data included in accounting documentation and invoices, tax regulations require us to keep them until our liabilities in this matter have lapsed. In the case of data that are processed on the basis of the data subject’s consent, they are kept until the data subject revokes consent. The images obtained by the video surveillance cameras are kept for a maximum period of one month. However, in the case of incidents where it is justified, they will be kept for such time as may be necessary to assist in the investigations carried out by the security forces or judicial authorities.
What rights do people have respect to the data we process
As stated in the General Data Protection Regulation, people whose data we process have the following rights:
To know whether they are processed. First of all, any person has the right to know whether we process their data, irrespective of whether or not there has been a prior relationship.
To be informed at the time of collection. When the personal data are obtained from the data subject, clear information must be provided at the time of collection about the purposes they will be used for, who will be the data controller and the other aspects arising from this processing.
To access. This is a very broad right which includes knowing precisely which personal data are being processed, the purpose they are being processed for, the disclosures that will be made to other people (if applicable) or the right to obtain a copy or know for how long it is planned to keep them.
To ask for rectification. This is the right to obtain rectification of inaccurate data that are being processed by us.
To ask for erasure. In certain circumstances, the data subject has the right to ask for erasure of the data when, among other reasons, they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and which justified their processing.
To ask for restriction of processing. Also, in certain circumstances, the right is acknowledged to ask for restriction of processing of the data. In this case, processing will be stopped and they will only be kept for the exercise or defense of legal claims, pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation.
To data portability. In the cases provided in the regulation, the data subject’s right is acknowledged to obtain his or her personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another data controller if the data subject so decides.
To object to processing. A person may invoke grounds relating to his or her particular situation to require that his or her data cease to be processed insofar as they may cause harm, except for compelling legitimate grounds or for the exercise or defense of legal claims.
To not receive marketing information. We will comply immediately with requests to not continue sending marketing information to people who had previously authorized us to send it.
How can the rights be exercised or defended
You can exercise the rights listed above by sending a written request by post to BlackSeaRama AD, 1164 Sofia, 23 James Bourchier blvd or by sending an email to blacksearama@blacksearama.com, stating in all cases “Personal data protection” as subject.
