Who we are
Guesthouse Grund, Víkurbraut 8, 240 Grindavík, Iceland, is the controller of the personal data described here. We process personal data in line with the Icelandic Act No. 90/2018 on Data Protection and the Processing of Personal Data, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect
When you make a booking we collect your name, email address, phone number, country, estimated arrival time, the dates, room type and number of guests, and any message you send us.
Why we use it
We use this information to handle your booking, prepare your stay, contact you about your arrival and meet our legal obligations.
Legal basis
The processing is necessary to enter into and perform a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Where we must keep records, such as for accounting, the basis is a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
How long we keep it
Booking requests that are not confirmed are deleted after 12 months. Confirmed bookings are kept for as long as required by Icelandic accounting law.
Sharing
We never sell your personal data. We only share it with service providers that help us run the website and bookings, under a data processing agreement, or where the law requires it.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To use your rights, contact Guesthouse Grund at the address above.
Complaints
If you believe we process your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Icelandic Data Protection Authority, Persónuvernd (personuvernd.is).
