- When the Customer uses the Site, in particular when making a reservation, Paris Society and Paris Society group entities process personal data as described in the “Paris Society Group Privacy Policy”.

Once the guarantees provided for by the applicable regulations have been put in place, the Customer’s data may be transferred from Europe to countries that do not ensure, from the point of view of France and the European Union, an equivalent level of data protection.
- In particular, in order to secure payment transactions, Paris Society group entities process personal data to determine the level of fraud risk associated with each transaction.

Depending on the results of the investigations carried out, Paris Society group may take security measures, in particular requesting the Customer to use a different reservation channel or an alternative payment method. These measures will have the effect of suspending the execution of the reservation or, if the result of the analysis does not guarantee the safety of the order, of cancelling it. Fraudulent use of a means of payment leading to payment default may result in the Customer being entered in the Paris Society group incident file, which may lead Paris Society group to block future payments or carry out additional checks.
- The Customer may at any time exercise his rights under the regulations on the protection of personal data. All the information required for this purpose is set out in the “Paris Society Group Privacy Policy”.
