Le Orano, Inc. owns and operates an online platform that provides users with information, recommendations, and services for travel and leisure. Our Services include tools for booking and researching hotels, rentals, attractions, experiences, restaurants, flights, and cruises, as well as other leisure services.

We value the trust you and other users have placed in us and understand that the information you share with us enhances our ability to provide personalized and relevant Services. We are committed to providing helpful information, products, and services based on the information you have shared with us, while respecting your privacy and being transparent about how we use your information.

This Statement explains how we collect, use, and process your information in an easily understandable and transparent manner. It also outlines your rights and how to exercise them, and provides our contact information. Please review this Statement carefully to learn about our privacy practices. By visiting our websites, related mobile applications, and other online platforms, such as our affiliated partners’ websites, apps, and social media, on a computer, phone, tablet, or similar device (each referred to as a “Device”), you acknowledge and confirm that you have read this Statement.

We collect some information automatically, such as with our servers or through cookies or similar tracking technologies. We also collect information from other sources, such as affiliated entities, business partners, and other independent third-party sources. If you use our Services by “clicking-through” from a third-party website or if you visit third-party websites through our Services, those websites may share information with us about how you use their service. Any information we receive from third-party websites may be combined with the information you have provided to us.

The information we process may include the following:

  • Contact information, such as name, phone number, and postal and email addresses (both hashed and unhashed)

  • Documentation to support travel and planning
  • Username and password
  • Details about your Le Orano membership
  • Photos, reviews, forum and social posts, and videos you may have shared with us

We may also collect information about other travelers or guests if you have provided it, including their email address and other travel, dining, or experience-related information. If you are providing us with information about other individuals, you must obtain their consent and ensure that they have understood and accepted how we will use their personal information (as described in this Statement).

In addition to the categories noted above, we may also collect certain location information if you have instructed your Device to send such information via the privacy settings on that Device or, for example, if you have uploaded photos tagged with location information.

3. Sharing Information

We use service providers to assist with some of our Services and processing activities. In certain circumstances, we may need to share information with these service providers and other third parties, including our group of companies. Here are the circumstances:

  • Our Group of Companies. We share information with certain companies in our corporate family to provide you with information about our travel-related products and services, and to facilitate payment services. This sharing also helps us to gain a better understanding of how you interact with the websites, apps, and services of our group companies. These companies comply with this Statement and all applicable laws governing the transmission of promotional communications.
  • Suppliers. We share information with certain suppliers to facilitate our Services, including where relevant to help with transactions.
  • Business Partners. We share information about you, your Devices, and your use of our Services with our trusted business partners. For example, we share information to facilitate payment for products or services you may purchase on the websites of our partners. This sharing is generally pursuant to written agreements that include confidentiality, privacy, and security obligations. Please note, however, that we do not control the privacy practices of these third-party business partners.
  • Social Media Websites. When you use our Services and elect to share information with third-party social media websites, the information you share will be governed by the privacy policies of those social media websites and the privacy settings you have set with those social media websites.
  • Advertising Networks. We sometimes collect and share information about your interests with advertising networks and data aggregators. Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance, which offer a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies. To learn more about the Digital Advertising Alliance, please click here.
  • Fraud Detection Companies. Third parties may assist us by providing us with their fraud detection technologies.
  • Other Third Parties, such as Referring Websites. Third parties may also assist us in collecting information by, for example, operating features of our website or facilitating the delivery of online advertising tailored to your interests. We may share audience segments and other information, such as hashed email addresses, with third parties that use that information for tailored advertising to you. Other third parties may also provide us with their content and contract generation, management, and hosting tools. Third parties may only collect or access information as needed to perform their permitted functions. If and to the extent these third parties only assist us to perform our processing operations, we have bound them contractually to only act on our behalf as so-called data processors.

Some Device operating system versions allow you to opt out of certain types of information sharing, including to certain advertising networks. You can change the privacy settings of your Device at any time to turn off the functionality that collects and shares location information. Please check your Device settings if you want to limit such tracking. However, turning off location-sharing may affect certain features that we offer. If you have any questions about the privacy settings of your Device, we suggest you contact the manufacturer of your Device or your mobile service provider for help.

We may also share your information if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary:

  • To comply with legitimate and enforceable subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
  • To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of Le Orano, our customers, or others; and in connection with our Terms of Use and other agreements.
  • In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

4. Your Information Choices

You have control over how we process and use your information. You can manage your account by visiting the “Member Profile” section on our website or app where you can update or close your account. Additionally, you can:

  • Choose how we communicate with you.
  • Opt not to provide us with certain information, although this may limit your ability to use certain features.
  • Prevent us from collecting certain geolocation information (e.g. by disabling location services for our app in your phone’s settings). Please note that disabling location sharing may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Services.
  • Close your account directly from your Member Profile. Please note that if you close your account, we will deactivate it and remove your profile information from view. However, we may retain some information associated with your account (such as past transactions) for internal purposes including backups, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, investigations, our own legitimate business interests, and legal compliance for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Statement.
  • Modify your marketing subscriptions, including email subscription choices, at any time within your member settings.

5. Information on Children

Our Services are not intended for children, defined as individuals who are 13 years of age or under or the age of privacy consent in your jurisdiction (whichever is lower). We will only collect or process information belonging to children under very limited circumstances. For example, we may need to collect personal information about children as part of a travel-related reservation. We will only collect such information if it is provided by and with consent of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we have processed personal information of a child without valid parental or guardian consent, we will delete the information.

6. Information Transfers

We offer our Services to users located in many different countries. If we transfer your information to other countries, we will use and protect the information as described in this Statement and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Information Security

We have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures to help protect your information. We only authorize specific personnel to access personal information and they may do so only for permitted business functions. We use encryption when transmitting your information between your system and ours, and between our system and those of the parties with whom we share information. We also employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorized access to your information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information from unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, or other circumstances outside of our control.

8. Information Deletion and Retention

We will retain copies of your information for as long as you maintain your account or as necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Statement, unless applicable law requires a longer retention period. In addition, we may retain your information for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise, or defend any legal rights.
