Our Products or Services may collect your personal data in two ways:

In both cases, the legal bases allowing personal data usage are:

Access to your personal data

Your data is stored securely and access is restricted to authorized personnel only.

You can ask to have access to your personal data located in our databases. You can also exercise your right to rectify this data or ask us to delete it.

The Product or Service may allow you to access your personal data, to make corrections or updates. The clarifications made are your sole responsibility.

To protect your privacy and the security of your personal data, we also take reasonable steps to verify your identity. To view and edit your personal information, you can go back to the web page or application where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions, or contact us at the address below.

Data retention period

We only keep your data for as long as we need it. The length of time we need this data depends on why we use it – to provide services to you, to further our legitimate interests (as described above) or to comply with the law.

We will periodically review the information we hold and when we realize that their retention is no longer justified by legal, commercial or customer-related requirements, we will remove them securely or in some cases we will make them anonymous.

If you close your Graaly account, your personal data will no longer be visible on our Services within 24 hours. We usually delete information from closed accounts within 30 (thirty) days, with the following exceptions.

We will store your personal data after the closure of your account if it is reasonably necessary to fulfill our legal obligations (including requests from the authorities), comply with regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, apply the Terms of Use or respond to your request to no longer receive messages from us (“unsubscribe”). We retain the personalized information after closing your account.

Information that you have shared with third parties (such as internal mail mails, news, comments, or posts in groups) will still be visible after you close your account or delete your profile or mailbox data. We do not control the data that other Members copy outside of our Services. The content and ratings of groups or the content of comments associated with a closed account will have as source “Unknown member” Your profile may continue to appear on third-party services (such as search engine results) until the update from their cache.

Means used to protect your data

We place your personal data against unauthorized access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption or destruction. We use technical measures such as encryption or the use of passwords to protect your data and the systems in which it is stored. We also take operational data protection measures such as limiting the number of people with access to the databases in which the reservation information is saved. We ensure that these security measures are regularly reviewed and we rely on industry safety standards to keep us informed of best practices.

Sending data outside the European Economic Area

We will only send data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to work with the agents and advisers we use to provide you with services, or to fulfill a legal obligation. If we transfer data outside the EEA, we will ensure that they are protected in the same way as if they were used in the EEA. We will take one of the following measures to ensure their protection:

  • send data to a country outside the EEA with privacy legislation as protective as the current one in the EEA
  • enter into a contract with the recipient of the data to protect the data on the basis of standards similar to those required in the EEA, or
  • transfer them to organizations that are part of the Data Protection Shield. The Data Protection Shield is a framework that sets the rules for data to be exchanged between the United States and European countries. The Data Protection Shield ensures that data is protected in accordance with standards similar to those used in the EEA.

Your rights

You may view copies of any personal data that we hold and request to modify, correct or delete your personal data. You may also limit, restrict or oppose the processing of your data. You can also log into your Graaly account to update the information on it. If you have given us your consent so that we can use your data (for example, to send you our Newsletter), you may withdraw your consent at any time thereafter.

As a user, and in accordance with the current law, you alone are entitled to access, modify and delete your personal information. You can exercise this right via the online support, contact@graaly.com, or by post, to: Graaly – Personal Information, 29 Chemin du Vieux Chêne, 38240 Meylan FRANCE, France – indicating your last name, first name, email address and home address.
