The Arrival Acceptance Form is a contract between the Guest and IdyllicPrague.com
which identifies some responsibilities of care and safety for both the Guest and IdyllicPrague.com.
IdyllicPrague.com require all Guests to sign the Arrival Acceptance Form on arrival at their Holiday Cottage.
In addition, IdyllicPrague.com require all Guests to send a signed Pre-Arrival Form to IdyllicPrague.com
before their holiday.  The Pre-Arrival Form form is very similar to the Arrival Acceptance Form.
Please note that the contract applies to all Guests staying in IdyllicPrague.com Cottages, not
just the signatory.  Click here for the IdyllicPrague.com Damage and Breakage Policy.

The Police Form Process

    1)    Before your holiday, please send us the Police Form data for each and every member of your group  
            (For details of why we ask for this before your holiday, click here)       

    2)    We will then send your arrival date, departure date, first name, surname, date of birth,
            country of residence and passport number by special email to the Czech Police .

    3)    During your holiday, a member of the IdyllicPrague.com team will visit you by prior
            arrangement and ask you to sign to confirm that the details entered into the special police
            guest register book have been entered correctly.
            They will also use this visit to ensure that you are comfortable, that your holiday is going
            well, and to answer questions and provide information.

    4)    Czech law requires us to ask you to show us your passport to check against the police Guest book.
            If you are unable to offer us your passport to check against the police Guest book then Czech
            law requires us to make a note in the book that you did not offer us your passport for checking.

    5)    We are required to keep the details that you sent to us securely on file for 6 years,
            and available for inspection by the Czech Police whenever requested.

    6)    In order to comply with Czech Law, we regret that we cannot give any Guests access to any
            IdyllicPrague.com Cottage until this data has been received and processed.

    7)    We regret that we cannot accept scans or copies of your passport.   There are several reasons for this
            One reason is that it would violate GDPR Art 5 (1)c, the data minimization principle

    7)    IdyllicPrague.com also pay a tourist tax on your behalf.  This tax is included in the rental.
            Paying this tax necessitates reporting some of your personal details to the local village authorities.

    8)    You agree for IdyllicPrague.com to store your personal data in an appropriate secure manner,
            and authorise IdyllicPrague.com to communicate some of your personal data to others 
            when necessitated by Czech Law and when essential for the management of the
            IdyllicPrague.com business.  For more details click here

GDPR Compliance

We have obtained GDPR guidance from our lawyer JUDr. Pavel Dudák of www.vilimkovadudak.cz

He writes: -

Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on the Residence of Aliens (hereinafter as "Act on Residence of Aliens").

GDPR is not applicable on the data gathered by you and the Alien Police as well; the data
required by the provision 97 of the Act on Residence of Alien, is (i) first name, surname, (ii) date of birth,
(iii) nationality, (iv) permanent residency address abroad, (v) passport number, (vi) VISA number, if issued,
(vii) the beginning of the stay, (viii) place of the stay, (ix) estimated time of the stay, and (x) the purpose of the stay in CZ.

According to GDPR you should notify your guests that you gather the above mentioned data to fulfil your
legal duties with no need to be granted any consent of the guests for that purpose.

IdyllicPrague want to emphasise that we are very uncomfortable and concerned by our obligation to collect
the passport details of our Guests and send them to the Czech Police Computer.   We are very sympathetic
to Guests who are unhappy with this requirement.  However unfortunately it is Czech Law, it is required by
the Czech Police, and we obey Czech Law and we obey the Czech Police.

You may chose to provide your passport details on arrival; if you intend to do that please let us know that
that is your intention and please read the details here www.idyllicprague.biz/Legal-on-Arrival.htm
