Why do we collect personal data?

How do we protect your personal data?

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures pursuant to applicable laws to protect your personal data against illegal or accidental destruction, loss or alteration as well as unauthorized disclosure and access.

We constantly adapt our security measures to all technological advances and developments. In order to ensure card payments are as secure as possible, all data are encrypted before transfer.

Our payment service providers process your card data pursuant to international PCI DSS security standards developed by the credit card companies VISA, MasterCard, Diners, American Express, JCB and any other payment method.

You may also help secure your data by taking the following security measures:

  • Change your password regularly using a combination of letters and numbers;

What are Cookies and what other technologies are used?

A “cookie” is evidence of a connection designating a text file that may be recorded, subject to your choice, in a dedicated area of your device’s hard drive when you visit a website. A cookie file allows the issuing party to identify the device on which it is recorded for the period of time the cookie is valid or registered and, thus, must be considered personal data.

We (and the third-party service providers acting on our behalf) use cookies and similar technologies to process your personal data when you visit our website.

 

This allows you to connect, display advertising in accordance with your accommodation preferences and your interests, fight fraud, analyse the performance of our products and services and fulfil other legitimate objectives such as knowing which pages of our site are visited most as well as the activity and time spent by browsers at our site. These technology tools also allow us to evaluate the efficacy of our marketing and, thus, the attractiveness of our products and services among our clientele.

Just as occurs with most websites of the same nature, some information is automatically registered via a certain protocol. This information particularly includes the protocol addresses (IP address), type of browser used, the Internet service provider, the reference pages and final pages, the operating system, the date, the time and Clickstream data.

Cookies do not record any information provided by users when booking online or when registering for a customer account. Cookies identify your browser (rather than you) and cannot be used alone to reveal your identity.

You may adjust your browser settings to block these cookies; however, this may affect your ability to engage in some transactions, use some functionalities and access certain content at our website. If you consent to the use of cookies at our website, these cookies will be valid for thirteen (13) months.

In addition to cookies used to identify, in particular, your browsing history and to feed statistical tools, our partners may use technologies which are subject to their own personal data protection policies. We inform you of the purpose of the Cookies we know of and the means available to you to choose how these Cookies are used.
