PREAMBLE

Because respecting your privacy and Personal Data is essential to us and justifies the trust you place in us, LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP has implemented this personal data protection policy (hereinafter the "Policy"), which, in a transparency approach, aims to inform you about:

• The methods of collecting and processing your Personal Data within the framework of the Services offered on our Sites by LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP (including browsing our Sites, booking overnight stays in our Hotels, registering and participating in the Loyalty Program or marketing operations, interacting on our Sites via social networks, etc.);

• The commitments made by LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP and your obligations to ensure the security of your Personal Data and the fight against fraud;

• The rights you have over your processed Personal Data and how to exercise them.

To facilitate the reading of our Policy, terms starting with capital letters and used in both singular and plural shall have the meaning defined in Article 12.

LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP is committed to processing the Personal Data of its Users and Clients in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter "GDPR") and the French Data Protection Act.

As such, we implement privacy and Data protection principles from the design of our projects and by default, ensuring in particular:

• The security of your Personal Data,

• Compliance with the lawfulness of Data processing,

• Processing your Data for a specific and transparent purpose,

• Compliance with appropriate retention periods,

• The accuracy of your Data,

• Respect for your rights and fairness in Data processing,

• Compliance with appropriate safeguards regarding the transfer of your Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Article 1 – Who processes your Personal Data?

The processing of your Personal Data carried out as part of the Services offered on our Sites is operated by us, LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP, a simplified joint-stock company with a capital of €117,624,016, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number 309 071 942, whose registered office is located at 1 Place des Degrés, 92800 Puteaux, France, as the data controller.

Please note that the vast majority of Hotels in which you will stay do not belong to LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP. They are operated as franchised/managed hotels under one of our brands by an independent and autonomous entity. Therefore, when you stay in one of these Hotels, your Personal Data is processed both by LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP and by the Hotel concerned with your stay, each acting as a data controller pursuing its own purposes. Franchised/managed network Hotels are thus required to comply with the principles of Personal Data protection in accordance with the Applicable Regulations and to ensure the management of your rights when you exercise them.

Any processing of Personal Data carried out by the Hotels during your stay is governed by a data protection policy specific to each Hotel in its capacity as a data controller.

Article 2 – What Personal Data do we collect?

• Personal Data collected directly from you

Personal Data may be collected at different times when you interact with us. They may concern you directly or the people accompanying you. These Data are grouped by type as follows:

• Identity Data (such as your title, last name, first name, date of birth, nationality, customer ID, etc.)
• Contact Data (such as your email address, postal address, landline and/or mobile phone number, etc.)
• Payment Data (including information related to your bank card to guarantee your reservation or make the payment)
• Data mentioned on official identity documents (such as those found on national ID cards, passports, etc.)
• Preference Data (such as room type and bedding preferences, room location, presence of pets, parking, etc.)

• Commercial relationship tracking Data (such as documentation requests, subscribed services or subscriptions, your reviews and comments)
• Geolocation Data (only with your consent) using the “destination around me” function to suggest Hotels near your location

Additionally, we may collect Data through the recording of your telephone conversations when you make a reservation by phone for training or evidentiary purposes.

Our partners

We may collect your Personal Data from some of our partners who register your reservation through their own websites and may, in some cases, process or not process the payment for the reservation.

These partners include online hotel comparison platforms or search engines such as Booking.com, Expedia, Google Hotels Ads, TripAdvisor, or Trivago, etc.

These partners collect and transmit the necessary Personal Data for your reservation to us.

These partners collect certain information for their own use within their own databases, to which we do not have access. For these processes, our partners act as data controllers for the Personal Data you provide to them. Consequently, we encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how and why they process your Personal Data and how to exercise your rights with them.

Social networks

When you create a Customer Account or book a room, you have the option to provide the necessary Personal Data for processing, particularly via your Facebook or Google account.

In this case, we become the recipient and controller of this Personal Data concerning your stay booking or Customer Account creation. We will be able to process any requests regarding your rights.

However, Facebook, Google, etc., remain data controllers for the processing of your Personal Data concerning the purposes they determine for their own use (management of your messaging, personal page, etc.). To effectively exercise your rights regarding this part of your Personal Data processing, please refer to their privacy policies and contact them directly.
