19. Respect for privacy
The customer is informed, on each of the personal data collection forms, whether the responses are mandatory or optional by the presence of an asterisk.

The customer authorizes elloha.com to communicate his/her personal data to third parties on the condition that such communication proves compatible with the performance of the operations incumbent on elloha.com.com under these general conditions and in connection with the Customer Charter for the protection of personal data. In particular, when paying online, the customer's bank details must be transmitted by the payment service provider stripe.com to the establishment's bank, for the execution of the reservation contract. The customer is informed that this data transfer may therefore take place in foreign countries that do not have adequate personal data protection within the meaning of the Data Protection Act.

Force majeure means any event external to the parties that is both unforeseeable and insurmountable and that prevents either the customer or the establishment from fulfilling all or part of the obligations set out in the contract. Cases of force majeure or fortuitous events are those usually recognized by the case law of the French Courts and Tribunals.
