​

MAKING A RESERVATION

​

When making a reservation or using Jewels Hotel services it is necessary for us to have your information in order to identify you, contact you and to process your purchase and requests. This information usually includes your name, age, gender, NRIC or Passport details, residential address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number and expiration date, language preference etc. It may also include, if you choose to share that information with us, your preferences regarding the delivery of your service such as type of room, type of bed, and the like. You may wish to have your purchase of Jewels Hotel’s services recognized in a third party’s loyalty program with which Jewels Hotel has a relationship. To do so, we will require you to provide us with certain verification information such as your membership number in the third-party program. We also offer special discounts from time to time that may have qualifying criteria. Sometimes we offer special offers to, for example, seniors or for children. To assess your eligibility and process your reservation correctly, we need to record your date of birth at the time of booking. You may be required to provide personal identification with your date of birth at the time of booking. You may be required to provide personal identification with your date if birth in order to verify this upon check-in.

From time to time, we offer packages or other services that involve third parties. If you are partaking in such a package or service, your personal information will be shared with that third party to the extent necessary to provide that service and process the purchase or request.

Jewels Hotel may use the information you provide to send you offers and information about Jewels Hotel services and those select third parties. Your information will not be given to these third parties but rather the offer of the third party will be provided to Jewels Hotel which will manage the distribution.

If you do not wish to receive such offers and information you may unsubscribe or opt-out by sending an email to pdpa@habibjewels.com so indicating your request with sufficient personal identifiers so we can appropriately act on your request. All our marketing communication of this type will also contain instructions for unsubscribing.

BY VISITING OUR OFFICIAL WEBSITE

​

We use “cookies” on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that an Internet site transfers to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an industry standard – you’ll find them almost everywhere on the Internet. Jewels Hotel uses cookies to recognize visitors when they return to our site.

We may also evaluate our content and services and tailor our websites, for visitors, based on other information we collect such as IP addresses, which are numbers assigned to your computer whenever you use the Internet, pixel tags (or clear gifs), and the type of Internet browser or operating system you are using. This information is collected in the aggregate, but we may tie it your personal information through cookie use in described above.

Besides that, for your information data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes. The data collection component of research is common to all fields of study including physical and social sciences, humanities, business, etc. While methods vary by discipline, the emphasis on ensuring accurate and honest collection remains the same: The importance of ensuring accurate and appropriate data collection. Regardless of the field of study or preference for defining data (quantitative, qualitative), accurate data collection is essential to maintaining the integrity of research. Both the selection of appropriate data collection instruments (existing, modified, or newly developed) and clearly delineated instructions for their correct use reduce the likelihood of errors occurring.

​

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
