How do we keep personal data safe

Ensuring the safety and security of personal data is a cornerstone of our commitment to our users. We employ a multifaceted approach to safeguard sensitive information, incorporating advanced technological measures and robust organizational protocols to maintain the highest standards of data protection.

Technological Safeguards

Our organization employs a comprehensive array of security protocols designed to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of your personal information, safeguarding it against loss, theft, unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or destruction. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security

We advise our clients to exercise due diligence by verifying the authenticity of any platform requesting financial or payment details in connection to our services or reservations. Such platforms should be directly operated by our organization or by third-party service providers that have received our explicit authorization.
