Privacy Notice
Last updated: October 9, 2026
At Villas El Morro we take care of your information. This notice explains who is responsible for your personal data, what we collect, what we use it for, who we may share it with and how you can exercise your rights, including the use of Google Analytics on this website.
1. Identity and address of the data controller
Hotel Villas El Morro (“Villas El Morro”), located at Paseo del Morro Lote 4, Colonia El Almacén, C.P. 40880, Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico, is responsible for the processing of your personal data in accordance with the Mexican Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (the “Law”).
For any privacy matter you can write to villaselmorroymercedes@gmail.com or call +52 755 544 6781.
2. Personal data we collect
Data you provide to us
When you contact us through WhatsApp, email, phone or social media, request a quote or make a reservation, we may collect:
- Your name and contact details (phone, WhatsApp and email).
- Arrival and departure dates, number of guests and the room or villa you are interested in.
- Guest names and the information you share with us to confirm the reservation, payment or, where applicable, invoicing.
- The content of your messages and your stay preferences.
We do not collect sensitive personal data through this website, and we ask you not to send it through our contact channels.
The quote form on this website does not send your data to our servers: it only prepares a message that opens in WhatsApp so that you can review and send it yourself. Once sent, the message travels through WhatsApp and is also governed by that service’s terms and privacy notice.
Data collected automatically
When you browse the site, technical and usage data are collected through cookies and similar technologies, as explained in section 6.
3. Purposes of the processing
Necessary purposes
We use your data to: answer your inquiries and quote requests; check availability and rates; manage your reservation, payments, check-in and stay; provide support and follow-up during and after your visit; and comply with legal, tax and contractual obligations.
Purposes that are not necessary
In addition, and only if you do not object, we may use your contact details to: send you information about promotions, seasons and news from Villas El Morro; and run satisfaction surveys to improve our service.
If you do not want your data to be used for these additional purposes, you can tell us when you contact us or write to villaselmorroymercedes@gmail.com. Your refusal will not affect the service or support you request.
4. Data transfers
We do not sell or give away your personal data. We only share it when necessary to handle your request, with providers acting on our behalf (for example, messaging, email or payment-processing services), or when a competent authority requires it under the Law. Any other transfer that requires your consent will be notified to you beforehand.
5. Data rights, withdrawal of consent and limiting use
You have the right to access your personal data and know how we process it; to rectify it if it is inaccurate or incomplete; to cancel it when you consider it is no longer needed for the stated purposes; and to object to its processing for specific purposes (known as ARCO rights). You may also withdraw your consent and limit the use or disclosure of your data.
To exercise these rights, send a request to villaselmorroymercedes@gmail.com including:
- Your full name and a way to send you our reply.
- A copy of your official ID or, if you act on behalf of someone else, the document proving your authority.
- A clear description of the data and the right you wish to exercise.
- Any detail that helps us locate your data.
We will reply within the time limits set by the Law. If you believe your right to personal data protection has been infringed, you may go to the competent authority on the matter.
