Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information France Tourism may receive, why it is used, when it may be shared and how you can make a privacy request.

Last updated 21 August 2026

France Tourism is an independent travel discovery and planning site. This policy applies when you browse the site, search its content, contact us, or submit content or listing information through an available site feature.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

We may receive information you choose to submit, including your name, email address, inquiry details, listing information, articles, photographs and other user-generated content.

Usage and technical information

When you use the site, standard technical records may include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, search queries, and the date and time of access. This information can help operate, troubleshoot and protect the service.

Information in public submissions

Material deliberately submitted for publication may be visible to other visitors. Do not include sensitive personal information in a listing, article or other public contribution.

2. How we use information

Information may be used to:

  • provide, maintain and improve site features;
  • display and manage content or listings you submit;
  • respond to inquiries and privacy requests;
  • understand site performance and how visitors navigate the service;
  • detect misuse, investigate technical problems and preserve security; and
  • comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with those described here without providing appropriate notice.

3. When information may be shared

France Tourism does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be disclosed in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: to vendors that support hosting, content submission, email or technical operations, subject to appropriate restrictions.
  • Public content: when you deliberately submit information for public display.
  • Legal and safety reasons: where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the service, its visitors or the public.
  • Organisational change: as part of a merger, reorganisation or transfer of site assets, with privacy protections continuing to apply.

4. Cookies and local storage

The site may use essential cookies or similar browser storage to support core functions, retain preferences, maintain security and ensure forms work correctly. Your browser can usually block or delete cookies, although doing so may prevent some features from working as intended.

Browser controls: Review your browser’s privacy settings to inspect, remove or restrict stored site data. France Tourism does not promise to respond to every browser-based “do not track” signal because no uniform response standard applies.

5. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may ask to access, correct or delete personal information associated with you. You may also ask about how information is used, object to certain processing, or request a portable copy where the law provides that right.

To make a request, email info@francetourism.com-html.com. Describe the request clearly and identify the relevant submission or interaction. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

6. Retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining published submissions, resolving disputes, protecting the service and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the information and context.

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so avoid sending sensitive information that is not necessary for your request.

7. Children’s privacy

France Tourism is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has supplied such information, contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy may be revised when site practices, features or legal requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate notice where required.

9. Contact us

Questions or requests about this policy can be sent to info@francetourism.com-html.com. Please do not include passport details, financial information or other sensitive records in an initial email.
