Use of information

We use the information we hold about you in the following ways:

  • as part of our public interest mission, i.e. to inform you about the Sancy destination, the conditions of reception and stays, with the exception of purely commercial offers.

Legal basis for processing your personal data

We will only process your personal data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. The lawful basis varies depending on the purposes for which we have collected and used your personal data. In almost all cases, the lawful basis will be one of the following:

  • Our mission of public interest: the Office de Tourisme du Sancy is part of a mission of public service concerning the promotion, communication to potential tourists and the reception of visitors in the territory.

  • Compliance with the law: where we are under a legal obligation and need to use your personal data to comply with that obligation.

Communication of your personal data

In the case of customer or prospect files, we do not pass on customer files to third parties. We do pass on your data or part of your data to our third party service providers and professional advisors, who may need access to your personal data to provide services to us (collection, credit card payment). In any case, this data may not be used by third parties other than to provide us with a technical service.

  • all members affiliated with the APIDAE tourism offer database in the category of broadcasters, partners and developers under the access conditions described on www.apidae-tourisme.com
  • to our third party service providers and professional advisors, who may need to access your personal data to provide us with services (website management, tourist tax registration, credit card payment). In any case, this data may not be used by third parties other than to provide us with a technical service.

Where we store your personal data

The data we collect from you is stored in the European Economic Area (EEA),

Third Party Sites

Please review their policies before providing any personal data.

Retention of your personal data

We take steps to ensure that the personal data you provide is retained for a maximum of 3 years after the last contact. After this period, it will be deleted or, in some cases, anonymised. Where we have collected personal data on the basis of your consent and we have no other legal basis for further processing, we will delete your personal data if you withdraw your consent.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email you receive.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (the CNIL for France) if you believe that we have processed your personal data unlawfully or in violation of your rights. If you have such concerns, we ask that you contact us in the first instance (using the contact details above) so that we can investigate your request and hopefully resolve your concerns.
Data breach and communication within 72 hours (art.33 and art.34 of the RGPD): in the event of a breach or suspected breach of personal data, L'Office de Tourisme du Sancy and its subcontractors will notify the CNIL within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

Customer reviews

The Sancy Tourist Office collects reviews directly through its website auvergne-sancy.com. These reviews are recorded using an e-mail address and an IP number corresponding to the machine used to post the review. This information guarantees the origin of the review. The e-mail is not used for any other purpose than submitting the review, nor is it sold to third parties.

Reviews consist of a comment and a rating from 1 to 5. Reviews are displayed on the pages in chronological order from the most recent to the oldest.

A right of reply is exercised by the owners of the activities/accommodations on which the reviews are posted. They have 48 hours to respond to the notice. Their message is displayed under the notice to which they respond.

The reviews are published, at the most, 72 hours after they are submitted by the user, after moderation by the Sancy Tourist Office team. Moderation includes the deletion of offensive, racist or pornographic reviews. The Tourist Office reserves the right to contact the people who have posted an opinion to ask them to modify it or to remove it completely.
