We reserve the right to supplement your Personal Information with information we gather from other sources which may include online and offline sources. For example, from time to time, we will receive Personal Information about you from third parties. Such third parties may include analytics providers, payment providers, hotel and transport providers, and third parties that provide technical services to us so that we can operate our Website and provide our services. We may also collect personal information about you from publicly available sources or media reports.

We reserve the right to use and disclose information that is not Personal Information in any manner permitted by law except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, we may permit our vendors and subcontractors to access your Personal Information, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.

As noted above, we may collect information that is not Personal Information (“Non-Personal Information”). We may aggregate or de-identify Personal Information so that the information does not personally identify you or anyone else, such as by using such information for analysis to understand how consumers are interacting with the Website and to improve the Website user experience. Because Non-Personal Information, including aggregate or de-identified information, does not personally identify you, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose permitted by law. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personal Information. If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information.

Third-Party Links

Security 
The security of your information is very important to us. We attempt to provide for the secure transmission of your information from your devices to our servers by utilizing encryption software. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and the Company, or information stored on the Website or our servers, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers, and your use of the Website demonstrates your assumption of this risk. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your Personal Information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us via the information in the section below titled Contact.

Data Retention
We will retain your information for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Website and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregated data previously collected. Please note that we will not be liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Protection for Children
Our Website is intended for users ages 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors. When we become aware that Personal Information (or other information that is protected under applicable law) from a child under 13 has been collected, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our databases. If you believe we might have any Personal Information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at admin@baretzbrunelle.com.
