PROTECCIÓN DE DATOS

Our vision of personal data protection

Given the relationship of trust that exists between Les Hôtels Baverez and their customers and partners, Les Hôtels Baverez have wished to set out a personal data protection policy in accordance with the requirements laid down in the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)  .

Les Hôtels Baverez undertake to protect the privacy of their customers and partners (“data subjects”) within the framework of their activities by ensuring the protection, confidentiality and security of the personal data collected.

The main objective of this data protection policy is to concentrate in a single document clear, simple and precise information concerning the data processing operations carried out by Les Hôtels Baverez, in order to enable the data subjects to understand what information and personal data (“personal data”) are collected, how they are used and what their rights are with regard to these personal data.

Les Hôtels Baverez have also appointed an internal Data Protection Lead and an external Data Protection Officer (DPO). They can be contacted by any interested person by post by writing to: “Service DPO, Les Hôtels Baverez, 2 place des pyramides, 75001, Paris” or electronically by sending an email to: “contact-DPO@hotels-baverez.com”.

The designated external DPO is the Lexing - Alain Bensoussan Avocats law firm.
