XIII. Security

As part of its services, the Company attaches the utmost importance to the security and integrity of the personal data of its customers, consumers, professionals and users. Accordingly, and in compliance with the RGPD, the Company undertakes to take all necessary precautions to preserve the security of the data and in particular to protect it against any accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised distribution or access, as well as against any other form of unlawful processing or communication to unauthorised persons.

To this end, the Company implements digital industry standard security measures to protect personal data from unauthorised disclosure. Using the encryption methods recommended by the digital industry, the Company takes the necessary measures to protect the information linked to regulations, bearing in mind that the Company uses a secure external service provided by our subcontractor MEWS.

Furthermore, in order to prevent unauthorised access and to guarantee the accuracy and proper use of data, the Company has put in place electronic and manual procedures to safeguard and preserve the data collected through its services.

Even so, no one can consider themselves completely safe from a hacker attack. This is why, in the event of a security breach affecting you, the Company undertakes to inform you as soon as possible and to make its best efforts to take all possible measures to neutralise the intrusion and minimise its impact.

In the event that you suffer damage as a result of the exploitation of a security vulnerability by a third party, the Company undertakes to provide you with all the assistance necessary to enable you to assert your rights.

It should be borne in mind that any user, customer or hacker discovering a security flaw and exploiting it may be subject to criminal sanctions, and that the Company will take all measures, including filing a complaint and/or taking legal action, to preserve the data and rights of its users and itself and to limit the impact as far as possible.

Informing the User in the event of a security breach
We undertake to implement all appropriate technical and organisational measures using physical and logistical security measures in order to guarantee a level of security appropriate to the risks of accidental, unauthorised or illegal access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction of your personal data.

  • Examine the causes of the incident;
  • Take the necessary measures within reasonable limits to mitigate the negative effects and damage that may result from the said incident.

Any compensation owed by the Company to the User or to a third party as a result of the liability of the Company, its subsidiaries or its partners in respect of the performance hereof may not exceed the price paid by the User, Client, Professional or Consumer in return for the service(s) giving rise to said liability (e.g. the price of a room).
