European Residents—Your Personal Data Rights (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the most significant changes to data privacy law, is designed to put you in control of how your information is collected and used. We want to help you to understand these rights and exercise them as easily as possible.

For our guests who are European Union citizens, or reside within the European Economic Area, additional rights have been granted to you by the GDPR. These rights include your ability to review, correct, update, suppress, or delete personal information previously provided to Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa. This can be done by submitting a Data Subject Access Request, defined in the following process. If you would like to submit a Data Subject Access Request to Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa, please send your request to: Info@TheDolphinBay.com or:

For the protection of our guests, Data Subject Access Requests will only be responded to if matching records (email address or mailing address) can be located within Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa’s systems. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or do not have complete information.

To expedite all Data Subject Access Requests, please provide any additional details which may help to quickly identify the location(s) your data may be stored (i.e. Resort, Restaurant or Spa visited, arrival date(s), departure date(s)). Sending sensitive personal information (i.e. social security number, passport number, national identification number) is discouraged and will not expedite your Data Subject Access Request in any way, as this information is not collected, stored, or processed by Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa.
