6.2 We may share user data processed on our website with the following third parties:

Wix Online Platform Limited: This website is hosted by Wix Online Platform Limited. Address: 1 Grant's Row, Dublin 2 D02HX96, Ireland. Wix.com is a data processor for visitors to our site. This means that Wix will only process the data of visitors to our site in accordance with our instructions and on our behalf. Wix.com will not process the data of visitors to our site in its own interest. To learn more about Wix's privacy policy, visit https://fr.wix.com/about/privacy.
Web site visitor analysis tools: This site uses web audience measurement tools. These tools collect information about your browsing on this site, which is stored on servers located in the United States, Canada and elsewhere.
Beds24, our online booking partner https://beds24.com/privacypolicy.html

These tools may communicate this information to third parties in the event of a legal obligation or when these third parties process the data on our behalf. The information collected by these tools includes, for example, the pages you visit, the date, time, duration and frequency of your visits, and the links you click on. The type and language of your computer's operating system, the name of your Internet service provider and your geographical location (region) are also part of the information collected. Your IP address is also collected, but anonymized (truncated) to ensure the confidentiality of your information.

Anonymizing an IP address prevents the identity of an Internet user from being known through it. These tools use the information collected only to produce statistics and reports on navigation on this site, enabling us to improve our electronic service delivery. Under no circumstances will the information collected on this site be linked to any other data held by the site.

Other disclosures: We undertake not to sell or share your data with other third parties, except in the following cases:
- if required by law;
- if required for any legal proceedings
- to prove or protect our legal rights
- to purchasers or prospective purchasers of this company in the event that we seek to sell the company

7. Links to other websites

7.1 Our website may contain links to third-party websites.

When you follow these links, you leave our website. Information exchanged at that point is no longer subject to our privacy policy. We recommend that you read the privacy statements of other websites you visit before providing any information.

8. Security of personal information

8.1 Security measures to protect personal information

To ensure the security and confidentiality of personal information, we adopt rigorous security measures, including both physical and technological aspects. Here are a few concrete examples:

Physical security: Use of electronic locking systems and security locks for access to offices, cabinets and filing cabinets, installation of surveillance cameras, and restricted access to areas where personal data is stored.
Access controls: Limiting access to personal data to authorized employees only.
Staff training: Regular staff awareness of data security best practices.
Monitoring and intrusion detection: Systems in place to monitor suspicious activity and detect potential intrusions.
Disaster recovery plans: Drawing up plans to rapidly restore data in the event of an incident such as a breakdown or cyber-attack.
Data encryption: Wix uses HTTPS, TLS 1.2+ and automatic SSL to ensure that data on our site (e.g. user data) is protected regardless of location.
AES-256, the strongest encryption available, encrypts user data at rest, so that it is protected during storage.
Wix provides two built-in levels of DDoS protection: one to protect us against incoming fraudulent traffic, and another to handle the massive traffic flow caused by a DDoS attack.
We assure you that our business is protected by Wix's international security standards and compliance with SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS Level 1, GDPR, CCPA, LGPD and ISO.
While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there is always the risk of harm. The internet as a whole can be, at times, insecure and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

These measures are designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and to maximize its integrity and confidentiality. While we make every effort to protect your personal data, it is important to remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We therefore cannot guarantee their absolute security.

8.2 International data transfers

User data may be accessed, processed or collected in the following countries:

To the best of our knowledge, data is collected for statistical purposes by Wix and Google. It is not possible to define the exact countries of the servers on which data is transferred to these third parties. However, we are aware that some data may be collected in the following countries:

United States (Google Analytics)

Ireland (Wix)

Germany (Beds24)

8.3 Involvement of staff and/or board of directors

Each employee, director, volunteer, independent contractor or ad hoc advisor working on our board committees undertakes to respect the personal information we collect. In addition, these individuals undertake to maintain the confidentiality of information specific to our activities, and not to divulge it or use it for personal gain or for the benefit of others. This commitment exists from the moment the employee, director, volunteer, independent contractor or ad hoc consultant takes up his or her post, and continues indefinitely.

9. Retention and destruction of personal information

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use it to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our legal policies.

We will also retain usage data for internal analysis. This data is generally retained for a shorter period, unless it is used to enhance the security or improve the functionality of our website, or we are legally obliged to retain it for longer.

10. Your rights

10.1 Recognition and respect of your rights

As part of our privacy policy, we recognize and respect the fundamental rights of those affected by the personal information we hold. These rights include:

Right of access: Individuals have the right to see the personal information we hold about them. For example, a customer may ask to see the data collected when registering for our service.
Right of rectification: If information is inaccurate or incomplete, individuals can request that it be updated. For example, an employee may request that his or her incorrect postal address be corrected in our files.
Right to de-index: Individuals may request that their personal information be withdrawn from distribution, or that any hyperlink associated with their name be de-indexed, if such distribution causes them harm or is in violation of the law or a court order. This right to erasure or oblivion allows individuals to control the availability of their personal information on the internet.
Right to lodge a complaint: In the event of concerns about the processing of their data, individuals may lodge a complaint in accordance with our established process.

Subject to applicable laws, upon receipt of a written request from an individual and after verification of their identity, we will inform the individual whether we hold personal information about them and will disclose that information to them.

We may refuse an individual access to his or her information in accordance with applicable laws, in which case we will give reasons for our refusal.

To facilitate these rights, the contact details of our Privacy Officer are clearly indicated for any questions or concerns. These measures ensure that individuals can exercise their rights with confidence and transparency.
