Data protection

Privacy policy

What data we collect, why, how long we keep it, and how to exercise your rights.

Last updated: 22 September 2026 · English translation — the French version is the reference text

1. Data controller

The controller of the personal data processed through this website is:

ControllerChristophe Durieux
Address8 rue Médéric, 75017 Paris, France
Emailmylovillaios@gmail.com
Phone+33 6 60 97 50 80
Data protection officerNone has been appointed: an appointment is not required given the nature and volume of the processing carried out through this website. Requests are handled directly by the controller above.

For any question about your data, write to mylovillaios@gmail.com with “Personal data” in the subject line.

2. Our principles

This is a showcase website. We do not build a marketing database, we never sell or rent any data, and we do no profiling or targeted advertising.

  • Minimisation — we only ask for what is needed to answer a booking enquiry.
  • Transparency — every piece of data collected is described below, with its purpose and retention period.
  • No resale — your data is never sold, rented or exchanged for commercial purposes.
  • No advertising trackers — see the cookies section.

3. Data collected

a. Data you give us

Through the booking enquiry form:

DataStatus
Requested arrival and departure datesRequired
Rental option chosenRequired
First and last nameRequired
Email addressRequired
Phone numberOptional
Country of residenceOptional
Free message (“your stay”)Optional
Acceptance of this policy (tick box, time-stamped)Required

Required fields are marked with an asterisk; without them the enquiry cannot be handled. As the free-text field is yours to fill, please do not include any sensitive data within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR (health, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation, trade-union membership). Should such information be needed to organise your stay — an allergy, a mobility constraint — it would be processed solely on the basis of your explicit consent and deleted as soon as it is no longer useful.

b. Data collected if you email or call us

The content of your emails, your contact details and the history of our exchanges.

c. Technical data

As on any website, the host records in its connection logs the IP address, date and time of the request, the pages viewed, the browser type and the operating system. These logs are used solely for security and technical diagnosis.

We collect no payment data through this website: no payment is made on it.

4. Purposes and legal bases

PurposeLegal basis (Art. 6 GDPR)Data
Answering a booking enquiry, checking availability and preparing a proposal Pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b))All form data
Corresponding with you before, during and after a stay Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b))Identity and contact details
Meeting our accounting, tax and reporting obligations Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))Identity, contact details, stay details
Keeping the website secure and preventing abuse Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))Connection logs
Establishing or defending legal claims Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))Data relevant to the dispute

The tick box on the form

The box at the bottom of the form confirms that you have read this policy. It is not the legal basis of the processing, which rests on pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)). Ticking it does not waive any of your rights, and you can ask at any time for your enquiry to be erased as described in section 8. It is kept, with its date, as proof that you were informed.

No data is used for marketing without your prior consent. No decision producing legal effects is taken on the basis of automated processing.

5. Recipients and processors

Your data is processed by the controller named in section 1 and by the only person authorised to assist in managing stays: Octave Durieux, based in France. No other internal recipient has access to it.

It may be passed to the following technical providers, acting as processors under an agreement compliant with Article 28 GDPR:

ProviderRoleLocation
Cloudflare, Inc.Website hosting, connection logsUnited States — global network
FormSubmitForwarding the form to our mailboxUnited States
Google (Gmail)EmailEuropean Union / United States

Your data may also be disclosed to administrative or judicial authorities where required by law, and to our advisers (accountant, lawyer) in the course of their work.

Transfers outside the European Union

Website hosting, form forwarding and email rely on providers based in the United States. Sending an enquiry through this website therefore involves a transfer of data outside the European Union. These transfers are governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and, for providers who have joined it, by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. If you prefer to avoid any transfer outside the EU, you can reach us by phone on +33 6 60 97 50 80.

6. Retention periods

DataPeriod
Enquiry not followed by a booking12 months from the last exchange
Enquiry followed by a stayDuration of the relationship, then 3 years from the last contact
Accounting records and supporting documents10 years (Article L. 123-22 of the French Commercial Code)
Connection logs12 months maximum
Data relating to a disputeUntil all appeals are exhausted

At the end of these periods, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

7. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, alteration and unauthorised access: HTTPS encryption, access to messages limited to authorised persons, accounts protected by strong passwords and two-factor authentication, regular backups.

As no system is infallible, in the event of a data breach likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we undertake to inform you as soon as possible and to notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours, in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 GDPR.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the amended French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, you have the following rights:

  • Access — confirmation that your data is processed, and a copy of it.
  • Rectification — correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — deletion of your data, subject to our legal retention obligations.
  • Restriction — temporary freezing of processing, for instance while a dispute is checked.
  • Objection — objecting, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interest.
  • Portability — receiving the data you gave us in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Withdrawal of consent — at any time, where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of past processing.
  • Post-mortem instructions — deciding what happens to your data after your death.

How to exercise them

Send your request to mylovillaios@gmail.com, stating what it concerns. We may ask for proof of identity if there is reasonable doubt about who is making the request. You will receive an answer within one month, extendable by two months for complex requests — in which case we will tell you.

Complaints

If, after contacting us, you consider that your rights are not being respected, you may lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL): 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07 — www.cnil.fr. If you live in another EU Member State, you may contact your national supervisory authority; in Greece, the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA).

10. Minors

This website is not aimed at minors and does not knowingly collect their data. A booking enquiry must be made by an adult with full legal capacity. If you believe a minor has sent us data, write to us and it will be deleted without delay.
