Our complaints channel is NOT a place to make complaints or claims. If you do, your communications will be archived.

This is a RESTRICTED CHANNEL, designed to report particularly serious events, because they may mean the commission of a crime or an administrative infraction, serious or very serious, and about which the informant must have the absolute conviction that they are true.

In addition, the facts must have occurred in the labor or professional field of our activity. If it is about events beyond our control, they must be reported to the police, administrative or judicial authorities that are competent.

If the complainant acts despite knowing that his information is implausible or manifestly false, or if the reason for his complaint is to defame the person or entity reported, he will not have any right of protection and Golden Hotels may report him and demand responsibilities.

Golden Hotels & Experiences has designated a Responsible for the Internal Information System. He will be the only person who will have access to the complaint and who will be in charge of investigating it.

The processing of the investigation will be done with the utmost reserve and with full guarantees of confidentiality. The accused and the rest of the people affected by the complaint will not have access to the identity of the complainant.

If the complainant designates an email to receive communications, he will be informed of the admission or non-admission of his complaint and of the decision taken at the end of the investigation.

If the investigation shows the commission of a crime, the facts must be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office or the judicial authority. If it is a serious or very serious administrative violation, the competent authorities will be informed.

Regardless of the fact that he can use our internal channels of information, the complainant can always also choose to use, jointly or alternatively, the external channels enabled by the Administration of Justice or the competent administrative authorities.

All people who use our internal reporting channels in good faith will have the right to be protected, as long as the facts reported are not implausible or notoriously false.

The protection of whistleblowers will include, in any case, their right not to reveal their identity to the whistleblowers or to others affected by their complaint.

Additionally, the rule establishes a presumption of legality for the treatment of special categories on the basis of the essential public interest.

In compliance with data protection legislation, all interested parties are also informed that their identity will be reserved and that it will not be communicated to the persons to whom the disclosed facts refer or to third parties, unless legally required.

The complainant and any interested party can exercise their right of access, rectification, limitation, deletion and portability of their personal data in accordance with current regulations.
