The Properties and Relais & Châteaux have defined their respective obligations in this context by means of an agreement, in accordance with Article 26 of the GDPR. This agreement provides that Relais & Châteaux plays a predominant role in defining the main purposes, Processing means, storage periods and applicable security measures. Regarding the exercise of your rights in accordance with Article 7 below, you may send your requests to Relais & Châteaux or the relevant Property, it being specified that, to improve efficiency, Relais & Châteaux alone shall take care of any update of your Personal Data on the shared tools.

3. PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

You may be asked to provide your Personal Data when you browse the Website, use the mobile application or are in contact with Us.

The mandatory or optional nature of the requested information is indicated with an asterisk when data are collected. Requested information that is marked with an asterisk is necessary to process your requests or Booking or to meet a regulatory obligation. Other information is generally designed to learn more about you or to improve the services offered to you. It is therefore optional.

In addition, some Personal Data may be collected indirectly, particularly from the Properties.

Relais & Châteaux particularly collects and Processes identification data (e.g. your last name and given name) and family and personal contact data (e.g. your address, phone number and email address), economic and financial data (such as your bank card number), data concerning your tastes, and your preferences and habits as regards your stays, marketing data, connection data (e.g. your IP address, your browsing data) and, more generally, data relating to the reason why you are in contact with us (e.g. data concerning your Bookings, Orders, requests for information, opinions, complaints). 

Relais & Châteaux does not intentionally collect sensitive data, such as information concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or details concerning your health or sexual life or preferences and asks you not to provide this kind of information.

4. PURPOSES OF COLLECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND STORAGE PERIODS

• If you do not have a Guest Recognition Account

• If you have a Guest Recognition Account

• The Personal Data Processed in the framework of the Guest Recognition Program will only be accessible to the Properties for the period necessary to prepare and monitor Bookings, i.e. up to one month maximum before your stay and one month after your departure.

• Data collected via cookies when you browse the Website or the mobile application

• General

In any event, Personal Data are stored in an active database for a period not exceeding the period necessary to achieve the purposes for which they are collected, and particularly for the periods indicated in the table above. 

After that period, certain Personal Data will then be archived with restricted access for a period not exceeding statutory limitation periods or applicable archiving obligations, and then destroyed.

5. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Your Personal Data collected in the framework of the Processing may be sent:

• Internally, to the authorized departments of Relais & Châteaux; and
• within the Relais & Châteaux group to the authorized departments of the Relais & Châteaux Association and its subsidiaries;
• to the Relais & Châteaux Association Member Properties with which you make a Booking and/or that you may visit.

Your Personal Data may also be transferred to Third Parties which may use them for their own needs (and particularly to authorized agents for the purpose of handling a dispute such as attorneys, process servers, etc. and to certain social media such as Facebook when you use our Website or mobile application in connection with these social media). Similarly, if any company in the group to which Relais & Châteaux belongs or all or part of its assets are acquired by a third party, your Personal Data may be made accessible to anyone involved in the preparation and completion of the transaction and included in the assets sold.

Your Personal Data will also be transferred to Processors of Relais & Châteaux within the meaning of regulations; they are not authorized to use them for their own account.

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Your Personal Data may be made accessible to some of our Processors within the meaning of regulations, some of which may be located outside Europe, in countries recognized by the European authorities as providing an adequate level of Personal Data protection, but also in countries that do not benefit from such recognition. In order to ensure adequate protection of Data Subjects' privacy, Appropriate Safeguards have been established to govern Transfers. The countries concerned by these Transfers and the Appropriate Safeguards are summarized in the table below:

Your Personal Data may also be made accessible to subsidiaries of the Relais & Châteaux Association located in Switzerland, the UK and the USA, and to certain Relais & Châteaux Properties (the list of which is available at https://www.relaischateaux.com/us/site-map/etablissements) that may be located outside Europe, in countries recognized by the European authorities as providing an adequate level of personal data protection, but also in countries not benefitting from such recognition. The achievement of certain purposes described in Article 4 above, including in particular the management of your Bookings or the performance and monitoring of the Guest Recognition Program, therefore requires Personal Data Transfers outside Europe and renders them lawful. However, to guarantee an even higher level of protection of Data Subjects' privacy, each Property located outside Europe in a country not benefitting from the abovementioned recognition has signed with Relais & Châteaux the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission, to govern their relationship and ensure a high level of Personal Data protection.

For more information about the Appropriate Safeguards governing these Transfers, you may contact the Relais & Châteaux Data Protection Officer at: dpo@relaischateaux.com.
