Beaux Espaces S.A.R.L owns and provides serviced apartments and related amenities for tourists visiting the Dordogne region of France, especially the immediate area around Sarlat-la-Canéda and Domme. As we cater for short term rentals of our apartments, we make use of multiple marketing channels and partner with various booking platforms to make our offering at La Perle de Domme accessible to the general public.
Aware of the importance of ensuring the confidentiality of personal data, this document describes how Beaux Espaces, as data controller, is fully committed to comply with the Personal Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016.
We have designated a Data Protection Officer, who can be contacted at info@laperlededomme.com.

We collect identification information, contact details, passport information, visa details (if required) and a copy of your driving license (in the event of scooter rental). The data is collected to allow us to manage information requests from prospective guests, to provide support services to our guests, to conduct statistical analysis of our guests’ needs, wants and preferences in an effort to improve our offering and to meet legislative and statutory obligations imposed by the French government. In all instances, data is only collected for the legitimate interest of Beaux Espaces.

We retain personal data for the requisite periods dictated by applicable legislation and regulations, or for a period defined with regard to our operational requirements and constraints, including our communication and marketing efforts, our accounting system, to efficiently manage our guest relationships and to enforce any legal rights.

The periods for which we keep personal data are proportionate to the purposes for which the data was processed, with the longest duration referenced below:

  • One (1) year from a booking request, actual reservation or stay at La Perle de Domme.
  • The actual duration required to process a specific request.

These periods may be increased, when applicable, by the legal prescription and also to ensure the respect of legal regulatory requirements compulsory for Beaux Espaces.

The personal data that we collect, and those that we obtain subsequently, are intended for us in our capacity as data controller, including our representations abroad, some of which are located outside the European Union, and for the French public program members gathering information and tourism statistics, local authorities and French agencies supporting the international development of the French economy.
We ensure that only authorised persons have access to this data. Our service providers and those French agencies supporting the international development of the French economy may be recipients of this data to perform the services for which they are entrusted. Some personal data may be sent to third parties or to legally authorised authorities in order to meet our legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.
Personal data may be subject to a convergence, a mutualization or a sharing between all entities within the Beaux Espaces group. Personal data may be communicated to these entities for the purposes referred to in our framework for the use of data above. These operations are carried out on the basis of instruments that comply with applicable regulations and are capable of ensuring that our users’ rights are protected and respected.

We transfer personal data to our partners in the European Union and outside the European Union. Each of these transfers are governed by legal instruments that comply with the applicable legal framework:

  • Spain and the Netherlands are subject to the level of protection applied uniformly within the European Union territory.
  • Transfers made to other countries (Canada, United States of America, South Africa) are covered by the following appropriate safeguards: contractual clauses of the European Commission type.

A user (private individual) can exercise their rights justifying their identity by post to the following address:
Data Protection Officer,
Beaux Espaces,
571 Taire du Grel
24250 Domme FRANCE
To do so, the user has to clearly indicate his or her surname and first name, and the address to which he/she wants the reply to be sent. As a principle, a user can exercise freely all their rights. With respect to the right to information, however, we will not have to answer it if the user already has the information requested. We will inform them if it cannot answer the request. The failure to provide information or modification of data can have consequences in the process of certain demands for the execution of contractual relations. Requests concerning the exercise of the rights of a user will be retained for monitoring purposes.

Users acknowledge that this policy document provides them with information about the purposes, legal framework, interests, recipients or categories of recipients with whom their personal data are or may be shared, and the possibility of a data transfer to a third country.

In addition, and with the aim of ensuring fair and transparent processing of data, users further acknowledge that they have received additional information concerning:

  • The period for which their personal data will be kept.
  • The existence of the rights which are granted to them and the terms and conditions to exercise them.

If we decide to process data for purposes other than those indicated, all information relating to those new purposes will be communicated to them.

Users have the right to access and rectify their personal data by writing to the Data Protection Officer at the address recorded above. In this respect, users have the ability to determine whether or not their personal data are being processed and where this is the case, access to their data and the following information:

  • The purposes of the processing.
  • The categories of personal data concerned.
  • The recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries.
  • Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.
  • The existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data, or to object to such processing.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
  • Where the personal data are not collected from the data subjects, any available information relative to their source.
  • The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and in this case meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Users are invited to request Beaux Espaces to rectify or complete their personal data that are inaccurate, incomplete, equivocal or expired.

A user can ask us to erase their personal data where one of the following grounds applies:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The user withdraws the consent they have previously provided.
  • The user objects to the processing of their personal data and there is no legal reason for such processing.
  • The processing of personal data does not comply with the provisions of the applicable legislation and regulations.

Nevertheless, the exercise of this right will not be possible when the retention of the personal data is necessary for compliance with statutory or regulatory provisions and in particular for example for the institution, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Users may request restriction of processing of their personal data in cases provided for by law and regulation.

Users do not have the right to object to the processing of their personal data when the processing is based on the legitimate interest of the controller, or on a necessary mission of public interest, or on the exercise of official authority.

Users have the right to portability of their personal data. The data on which this right can be exercised are:

  • Only their personal data, which excludes anonymized personal data or data that does not concern them.
  • Declarative personal data and personal operational data.
  • Personal data which do not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, such as those protected by trade secrets.

This right is limited to processing based on consent or contract, as well as to personal data that the user has personally generated. This right does not include derived or inferred data, which are personal data created by Beaux Espaces.

When the data processing carried out is based on the user’s consent, they may withdraw it at any time. We will then stop processing the personal data, but this will have no impact on the previous transactions.

Users have the right to lodge a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) on French territory without prejudice to any administrative or judicial remedy.

Users can give instructions in relation to the storage, erasure and communication of their personal data after their death to a certified trusted third party in charge of enforcing the wishes of the deceased in compliance with the applicable legal framework.

The user’s personal data are communicated to Beaux Espaces as part of the services provided and purchasing procedures set out in the framework of our business operations. In this context, if a user refuses to provide us with their personal data, which would be essential for the performance of the services, this refusal will result in an impossibility to perform the service.

Beaux Espaces has taken the physical, technical and organizational measures necessary to ensure the security, integrity, availability and confidentiality of your personal data, in particular to protect it against destruction, loss, theft, accidental destruction, alteration or non-authorized access.
The data collected and used by us for third parties are hosted in France (NB: due to data replication or load balancing reasons, personal encrypted data may be temporarily replicated in another country within the European Union).
