The Bootlá team has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. Information on this site is subject to change without prior notice at any time and you should therefore visit www.bootla.pt regularly to view recent changes. The policies on this page shall be deemed invalid, if they have been outdated by new updates, although every reasonable effort is made to present current and accurate information. 

What we collect and where:

Our site uses several forms that our customers can use to request information, products, and services. From these forms, we collect the following information: visitors contact information; including email addresses and phone numbers.

IP addresses (the internet address of a computer):

No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities, unless in the unlikely event of an investigation we are legally obliged to do so (for example, if required to do so by court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud). The statistics and log files may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security breaches.

IP addresses are logged to track a user’s session while the user remains anonymous. We analyse this data for certain trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting and how long they spend there. In general, we do not link your IP addresses to anything personally identifiable to you. When Bootlá receives information about your session or about you, we may also use it for research or to improve our site and the services we offer you.

How secure is the information we collect?

Bootlá makes every effort to follow industry standard security measures to prevent the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All financial information is encrypted during transmission, and our company databases are accessible only to internal employees.

What do we use this information for?

Contact information. We use your contact information to send you information about our company, services and to get in touch with you when necessary. Bootlá respects guest privacy and will not sell or disclose guests personal information to any other person, business or third party.

Credit card data:

In order to guarantee reservations via all channels (telephone, website or smartphone application, but not restricted to), we require a full 16-digit debit/credit card number, name on the card, card type, three-digit security code and the expiry date. Your debit/credit card details are only used to charge the required deposits or payments.

The communication of all sensitive credit card information is encrypted through the use of our secure server and your web browser. We do not retain live records of credit card information on our internet web servers after the booking and payment transaction have been completed.

Bootlá indemnifies itself against all data use on reservations made via third party websites/agencies.

Links to other sites:

The site may provide links to other websites. Please be aware that once you leave the site and enter another website, you may be subject to different privacy practices and policies over which Bootlá has no control and for which we are not responsible. 

Photography & film:

On occasions Bootlá staff or commissioned professionals may take photos or film guests at our activities that can be used for such things as promotional purposes, on either our website, social media accounts, or on print material. No permission is needed for this, but we do ask; if you do not wish to be filmed or photographed, you are required to voluntarily leave the area where this is taking place and inform our staff about it. If you are photographing or filming other guests, please seek permission from them first. Verbal consent is solicited as a goodwill gesture.

Changes to our privacy policy:

We may change our privacy policy at any time. Continued use of our websites signifies that you agree to any such changes.
