The User also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés (CNIL), the supervisory authority for data protection issues in France(www.cnil.fr).

Article 7. How are personal data protected?
Hôtel de Buci is very vigilant about the security of personal data and takes all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of personal data.
Personal data collected is stored by Hôtel de Buci or its service providers, and is protected by physical and electronic access controls, firewall technologies and other reasonable security measures.
Such measures cannot, however, prevent all risks of loss, access, misuse or alteration of the personal information collected. Where required by law, Hôtel de Buci will notify the User of any loss, access, misuse or alteration of his or her personal data, so that the User may take the appropriate steps to enforce his or her rights. Hôtel de Buci will notify the User by electronic or postal means or by telephone, if authorized by law.
The User is requested not to transmit payment information or sensitive information by e-mail or in sections not intended for this purpose (for example, sending a credit card number by e-mail).
The User is also informed that he/she always has the possibility of choosing the personal data he/she wishes to provide.
Nevertheless, his decision not to transmit certain data could alter his experience of the services. For example, we cannot make anonymous reservations and, if we are not authorized to disclose your personal data to the hotels in our group, we may find ourselves unable to provide certain reservation or other services.
Similarly, if the User does not authorize us to disclose his/her personal data to third parties, such as Hôtel de Buci's subcontractors (transfer service, concierge service, etc.), we may not be able to provide all possible services or the provision of such services may be delayed. We will do our best to respond to your request as quickly as possible.
