Thank you for visiting the HOM mini chalets Website and reading our privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as the Policy).
By browsing our website or using our systems or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data and information in accordance with this Policy, if applicable.
This privacy Policy is composed of the following sections:
Respect of privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect personal information in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure this protection, HOM mini chalets will only collect, process and share personally identifiable information with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.
The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of why and how HOM mini chalets, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure users' informed consent.
For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified. Wherever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate such information so that it no longer identifies an individual.
This Policy is effective as of September 1, 2023.
We are committed to obtaining consent prior to collecting personal information from an individual. Consent may be explicit or implicit, and may be provided directly by the individual or by his or her authorized representative.
We prefer to obtain explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implicit consent may be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual.
If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.
It may not always be possible, particularly in the case of government requests, to obtain consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information. We commit to never disclosing this type of information, other than in accordance with this Policy, unless we are required or permitted to do so by law.
Information is collected in accordance with the purposes and objectives set out in this privacy Policy.
Some of the reasons we collect your personal information include:
HOM mini chalets may collect personal information in various forms, but will only do so by lawful means and only for the necessary purposes disclosed to you, as described in this Policy, or as permitted or required by law.
The personal information collected, and its sensitivity, may vary depending on the context of your interactions with HOM mini chalets. For this reason, we make it a priority to inform you of the nature of the personal information we use.

Legal compliance. We process data to comply with the law.
HOM mini chalets attaches the utmost importance to the security of your personal
information and undertakes to treat it in accordance with industry standards and norms, and solely for the purposes for which it is collected, as described in this Policy or in a specific notice to that effect. However, given the inherent security limitations of transmission via the Internet, it is impossible to safeguard your personal information absolutely. Information transmitted to us is therefore ultimately at the user's own risk.
HOM mini chalets ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request a correction if your personal information is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information, you may make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.
There may be circumstances where we will not be able to provide you with access to your personal information. For example, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person's personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. Should such a situation arise, we will advise you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact
these third parties directly.
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside HOM mini chalets, with the exception of our authorized suppliers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes listed in this Policy and within the limits of this Policy, as well as in the following cases:
HOM mini chalets commits to not selling or renting your personal information to a third party.

In such cases, personal information may be subject to the local laws of the countries or territories in which the information is collected, used, disclosed or stored, and may be accessible to the governmental and law enforcement authorities of those countries or territories.
Once the retention period has expired, personal information is destroyed. Only statistics or reports containing de-identified and anonymized data may be retained for extended periods of time.
