Group companies
We will share your personal data with Whitbread Group plc and other companies in the Whitbread Group for administering hotel and restaurant services & products. Details of the Whitbread group can be found on our corporate website at www.whitbread.co.uk. The group includes Whitbread Group plc and Premier Inn Hotels Limited. We share data within the Whitbread group when Whitbread Group plc provide us with support, advisory, IT, safety and security, including CCTV, and other services.
When you book a hotel with us in some limited circumstances it may be provided by one of our sister companies or third party owners of Premier Inn branded hotels:
- Premier Inn Doha Education City- Premier Inn Hotels Qatar WLL; and
- Premier Inn Ibn Battuta – Premier Inn Ibn Battuta Hotels FZE.
In these cases, we will pass your booking details to the relevant company to fulfil your booking. Each of these companies use your details to provide the services and products requested with your booking and for the other purposes set out in this policy. Such third party companies are committed to protecting your privacy but, to be clear, these are independent businesses and they are responsible for the operation of its own hotels and compliance with data protection laws.
