Your privacy is important to us. We value your trust and are committed to protecting and safeguarding any personal information you give us. This document, which we update from time to time, describes how we use and process your personal data and how we use cookies.

Cefalu.net offers online reservation services through its own websites and may amend the Privacy and Cookies Policy from time to time, so visit this page regularly to stay up to date. If you disagree with this Privacy and Cookies Policy, you should discontinue using our services.

What kind of personal information do we use?
When you make a reservation, you'll be asked for your name, address, telephone number, email address and date of birth
. When you visit our website, even if you don't make a reservation, we may collect certain information, like your IP address, which browser you're using, and information about your computer's operating system, language settings and pages that have been shown to you. First and foremost, we use your personal data to complete and administer your online reservation, to provide international customer service, for marketing activities, as permitted by law.
There may be other times when we get in touch with you by email, traditional mail, phone or text message, depending on the contact information you share with us. There could be a number of reasons for this:
# - We may need to respond to and handle requests you've made.
# - If you haven't finalized a reservation online, we may email you a reminder to continue with your reservation. We believe that this additional service is useful to you because it allows you to carry on with a reservation without having to search for the accommodations again or fill in all the reservation details from scratch.
# - We may also send you other material related to your reservations, such as how to contact Cefalu.net if you need assistance while you're away, and information that we feel might be useful to you in planning your trip or getting the best out of your stay. We may also send you material related to upcoming reservations or a summary of previous reservations you made through Cefalu.net.
Finally, we use personal data for analytical purposes, to improve our services, to enhance the user experience, and to improve the functionality and quality of our online services.
