They remember that you have visited our website, the length of your visit, the ads you viewed and may help us in compiling your “utilisation profile”. These are persistent cookies which will be kept on your device until their expiration or earlier manual deletion.
As a result, you may see certain third party ads on other websites based on your visits to our website because we participate in advertising networks administered by third-party vendors, such as Google Adwords, Bing Ads, Yandex, Yahoo, Baidu, Facebook, and other similar service providers. In addition, these ad networks allow us to target our ads to our users considering demographic, users’ inferred interests and browsing context. These networks track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs and web beacons. The networks use this information to show you ads that are tailored to your individual interests, to track your browser activity across multiple websites, and to build a profile of your web browsing. The information our ad network vendors collect includes information about your visits to websites that participate in the vendors’ advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our website and on third-party websites that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Further, we may use features of third party analytics service providers for display advertisers. That includes obtaining specific visitor cookie data, such as the source, medium and keywords used to visit our website.

How is my Personal Information secured?
We endeavour to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information that we hold in our records. Unfortunately, we cannot always guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failures, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information. Also, while we endeavour to put adequate contractual protections in place we cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Information in databases hosted by third parties.
Maison ila stores Personal Information in a secure location, be it a database, PMS, marketing and research database or a filing cabinet. Furthermore, we take steps to ensure that only designated individuals have access to this information. In addition, due to the personal nature of the information you provide when making a reservation through our website or mobile Apps, Maison ila employs encryption technology to keep your data secure.
Credit card information is transmitted and stored in encrypted format and only unencrypted when required for taking payments or guaranteeing future stays. Access to unencrypted credit card details is restricted to designated individuals as per PCI DSS industry best practise.
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which encrypts information you input and which is certified by the Secure Server Certification Authority. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming a reservation or processing on-line purchase transactions. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company for verification or during payment. It is important for you to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you have finished using a shared computer.
It is important to note that e-mail communication are not secure. This is a risk inherent in the use of e-mail. Please be aware of this when requesting information or sending forms to us by e-mail (for example, from the “Contact Us” section of our web site). We recommend that you do not include any confidential information (i.e. credit card information) when using e-mail. For your protection, our e-mail responses to you will not include any confidential information.
Finally, to be prudent, please be sure to always close your browsers when you are done using a form or the reservation site. Although the session will terminate after a short period of inactivity, it is best to close your browsers immediately upon completion.
​
Is my Personal Information transferred overseas?
We may transfer your information outside of the country in which it was collected (including to countries where we have hotels under development or operation) for various reasons. These reasons include: the purpose of entering into or fulfilling a contract with you, reserving a room, processing on-line purchase transactions, replying to or taking actions in response to your enquiries or requests, for processing by us or on behalf of the hotels and residences properties managed by us, enhancing personalization of services provided to you, communicating news and promotions to you relating to Maison ila related products and services and other products and services we think may be of interest to you, and statistical and analysis purposes. Our core business systems, including property management systems, are located in data centres within EEA or US or Russia.
Such transfer of data may be to a country which may not provide the same level of privacy protection as that provided by the country in which the information was collected. However, we will take reasonable steps (including entering into data transfer agreements based on the European Commission model clauses, where required) to ensure that your data is adequately protected by using appropriate technical, organisation, contractual or other lawful means. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, you may contact us for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal data and privacy rights in these circumstances.
