Privacy Policy

Maison Calypso — La Napoule, Côte d'Azur

Note: This page is a template with placeholders ([marked like this]) and describes the website's current technical setup. Please fill it in before publishing and have it reviewed by a professional — especially once the underlying technology changes. The German version remains legally authoritative; this English page is provided for convenience.

1. Data controller

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:
[First name Last name]
[Street and house number, postcode, city, country]
Email: [Email address]

2. General information

Protecting your personal data matters to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations (GDPR) and this privacy policy.

3. Data collection on this website

Contact form

This website currently uses a contact form that does not transmit or store any data on a server. When submitted, it automatically opens your device's email application with a pre-filled message addressed to us. The actual data transfer only takes place once you send that email yourself — at that point, the data protection terms of your email provider and our own email inbox apply. The legal basis for processing the data you send by email (name, email address, travel dates, message) is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures).

[If the form is later switched to server-side processing — e.g. via a booking system or a form service provider — this section must be updated: add retention period, data processors, and double opt-in where applicable.]

Server log files

Once this website is published with a hosting provider (e.g. IONOS), that provider's server automatically collects so-called server log files on every visit, transmitted automatically by your browser. These typically include: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing device, time of the server request, and IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website).

[Add the name and location of the actual hosting provider once determined — including a reference to their own privacy policy / data processing agreement.]

Google Fonts

To display fonts consistently, this website embeds so-called Google Fonts, loaded from servers operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; for access outside the EU, potentially Google LLC, USA). This establishes a connection to Google's servers, through which Google Ireland Limited learns that this website was accessed via your IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a consistent, technically reliable presentation of the website). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Anyone wishing to avoid this data transfer entirely can instead host Google Fonts locally on their own server (self-hosting) — this eliminates any connection to Google when the page loads.

Cookies

This website currently does not use any cookies — neither strictly necessary ones nor tracking or analytics cookies.

[Once tools such as Google Analytics, a statistics plugin, or a booking platform are embedded, this section must be expanded to cover the relevant cookies, their purpose, retention period, and, if applicable, a cookie consent banner.]

4. Your rights

You have the right, at any time, to:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data. The competent authority depends on our place of business: [insert the relevant German state data protection authority, e.g. if based in Bavaria: Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, www.lda.bayern.de — or the relevant authority for another German state]. Alternatively, you may also contact the supervisory authority in your own place of residence.

5. Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. Server log files are typically deleted automatically by hosting providers after a short period — please refer to your host's specific terms for the exact timeframe.
