Site hosting

The site is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, Rue Eugène-Marziano 25, 1227 Les Acacias (Geneva), Switzerland. Telephone: +41 22 820 35 41. Host’s website: infomaniak.com.

Intellectual property

The texts, photographs, images, videos, logos, trademarks, graphic elements and structure of this site are protected by copyright and trademark law. Any reproduction, representation, adaptation or distribution, in whole or in part, in any form whatsoever, is prohibited without the prior written permission of the Hotel Web Design agency, except within the limits permitted by the French Intellectual Property Code (a short quotation with an indication of the source, for example).

The projects presented in the portfolio, the articles and the pages of the site are work done by the agency for its clients. The sites, names, logos and photographs of the properties remain the property of their respective owners. If you hold rights over an item presented here and wish to request its modification or removal, use the contact form.

The names and trademarks of third parties mentioned on this site (Google, Google Hotels, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Booking.com…) belong to their respective owners. They are mentioned only to describe the services offered.

Site publisher

This website is published by ALTI SAS.

Personal data

This section explains what personal data the site collects, why, how long it is kept and how to exercise your rights, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, known as the GDPR) and French Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, known as the “Informatique et Libertés” law.

Data controller

The data controller is the company that publishes the site (see Site publisher). For any question about your data, use the contact form.

Data collected

The site only collects the data that you enter yourself, in two forms. Only the time zone for booking an appointment is suggested by your browser; you can change it.

Data requested by the forms
FormData requestedOptional
Message (page Contact)Name, e-mail address, telephone, website address, messageTelephone and website address
Booking an appointment (page Contact)Chosen time slot, time zone, name, e-mail address, telephone number, website address, messageWebsite address and message

Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory: without them, the request cannot be sent. No sensitive data is requested, and no automated decision-making or profiling is carried out on the basis of this data.

The site does not record your IP address and does not keep the full identification of your browser; it measures its traffic anonymously (see Visit counting). To limit the number of requests per day, it keeps for about 25 hours a fingerprint of your e-mail address, which does not contain the address itself. Like any web server, the host’s server also records in its technical logs the IP address and the pages requested: these logs are used only for security and for the proper functioning of the site.

Purposes and legal bases

  • Replying to your message. Legal basis: pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).
  • Organising the call that you requested: entering the appointment in the agency’s calendar and sending you the confirmation and reminders. Legal basis: pre-contractual measures taken at your request (same article).
  • Knowing the site’s traffic and improving it (anonymous counting of page views). Legal basis: the agency’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).
  • Protecting the site against spam and fraud (anti-robot mechanism, limit on requests per e-mail address, technical logs). Legal basis: the agency’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).

Recipients and transfers

Your data is intended for the Hotel Web Design agency, which receives each request by e-mail. The only other recipients are two technical service providers:

  • Infomaniak Network SA, host of the site, established in Switzerland: it hosts the site and the requests recorded. Switzerland is covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
  • Google LLC, which provides the agency’s calendar: each appointment made on the site is entered there, with the contact details and message entered. Google may process this data outside the European Union, in particular in the United States; Google LLC adheres to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which is covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

After booking an appointment, the “Google Calendar” button opens Google’s site with the details of the call (title, date and duration, without your telephone number or the management link): this information is sent to Google only if you click this button. The .ics file, for its part, is created in your browser.

Your data is neither sold nor transferred for commercial purposes.

Retention period

The page views counted are kept for 25 months at most, then deleted automatically.

On the site’s server, appointment requests are deleted automatically 13 months after the date of the call, and messages 13 months after they are received. A cancelled appointment is also removed from the agency’s calendar, and a past appointment is erased from it at the same 13-month deadline. Notification e-mails remain in the agency’s mailbox for as long as is necessary for our relationship with you; you can ask for them to be erased at any time. The fingerprint of the e-mail address is erased after about 25 hours. The host’s technical logs are kept for the period that the host provides.

Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability and objection (Articles 15 to 18, 20 and 21 of the GDPR), as well as the right to set directives on what happens to your data after your death (Article 85 of the “Informatique et Libertés” law). To exercise them, use the contact form stating the purpose of your request: we reply within one month, which may be extended by two months for a complex request, and we may ask you to prove your identity in case of reasonable doubt.

If, after contacting us, you consider that your rights are not being respected, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés, the French data protection authority): cnil.fr.

Cookies and audience measurement

By default, this site sets no cookies and calls no service from another site. A banner asks for your choice on your first visit: “Reject all” is as easy as “Accept all”. Your choice is kept for six months in your browser (local storage); you can change it at any time with the button below or with the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of each page.

Visit counting, without cookies

The site measures its traffic with an in-house tool, without cookies, without storing anything in your browser and without any outside service. For each page viewed, it notes: the date and time, the address of the page (without its parameters), its title, its rank in the visit, the origin of the visit (direct access, search engine, social network or another site, without the full address of the originating site), the family of device, browser and system, the language, the city and the operator deduced from your IP address at the time of the visit, the time spent on the page, the scrolling and the loading time. It also notes the actions taken on the page: clicks on buttons, menus and links (for a link to another site, its domain only; for a telephone or e-mail link, never the number or the address), FAQ questions opened, videos played, forms started or sent (never their content), appointment slot chosen and appointment booked.

Your IP address and the full identification of your browser are never kept: only the city and the operator are, along with a visit code, an irreversible fingerprint calculated with a salt drawn at random each day and destroyed each night, which does not make it possible to recognise a visitor from one day to the next or from one site to another. Robots are not counted.

This data is used only to know the site’s audience and to improve it (statistical purpose, legitimate interest of the agency). It is not cross-referenced with any other processing, is consulted in the agency’s monitoring tool, is passed on to no one else and is kept for 25 months at most. The counting respects the “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal and the Global Privacy Control of your browser: if either is enabled, your page views are not counted.

This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.

Google Analytics and Google Ads

If you accept, two Google services are loaded:

  • Google Analytics (audience measurement): page views, origin, type of device, sending of the contact form, booking of an appointment. Cookies _ga and _ga_…, 13 months at most; statistics kept for 14 months at most.
  • Google Ads (ad measurement): finding out whether a visit coming from an ad led to a contact. Cookies _gcl_…, 90 days at most.

These services are provided by Google Ireland Limited; Google may transfer this data outside the European Union, under the safeguards it puts in place. If your browser sends the “Global Privacy Control” signal, it is understood as a refusal. The site’s fonts and scripts are served by the site itself.

Contact form

To contact us, use the contact form. You can also book an appointment directly for a call.

The form is protected against fraud and spam by an invisible anti-robot mechanism (trap field, minimum delay before sending, verification calculation done by your browser), with no third-party service and nothing for you to solve.
