Watt Rally is the data controller responsible for the processing of your personal data collected on the watt-rally.com website (the “Website”). Watt Rally makes every effort to protect your privacy when you visit the Website. By becoming a member of Watt Rally, you agree to our Privacy Policy, which is intended to answer any questions you may have regarding the processing of your personal data.

What data do we collect?

Data you voluntarily provide to us

When you register, complete a form to book a trip, or update the information in your member account, Watt Rally collects the personal information concerning you that you have agreed to provide to us. Personal information includes, in particular, your email address and password, as well as information relating to you and your accompanying passengers, including surnames, first names, nationalities, dates of birth, telephone numbers, postal and email addresses, passport numbers and expiry dates, as well as any reviews you may leave on the Website following a trip. When you provide information relating to your bank card, we may offer you the option of saving your details in order to facilitate any future transactions carried out on the Website. If you agree, only the expiry date of your bank card and a banking transaction identifier are retained. This information may subsequently be used for payment through our secure payment platform.

Your browsing data

When you browse the Website, Watt Rally collects information relating to your browsing session. This includes your browsing history on the Website: pages visited, searches performed, bookings, quotation requests, opening of Watt Rally newsletters and clicks on offers. When you browse the Website, Watt Rally associates a unique identifier with your devices and collects information relating to the browser or operating system you use (Apple or Android), as well as its version.

How do we use your data?

The personal data collected about you is processed electronically for the following purposes:

Processing your booking

When you make a booking on the Website, the personal data required to process your booking is shared with Watt Rally service providers involved in your trip (hotels, ferry companies, local service providers, etc.). This data is also processed for customer relationship management purposes and for Watt Rally’s accounting requirements, including the preparation of your invoices.

Sending communications relating to the services offered by Watt Rally

Watt Rally sends you several types of emails:

  • Emails relating to your booking: registration confirmation, departure information and satisfaction surveys;
  • Watt Rally newsletters;
  • Welcome emails, information emails, communications relating to your activity or inactivity, and news relating to Watt Rally.

To make it easier to access Watt Rally services, you may be automatically logged into your member account when you click on content contained in emails we send you. We therefore recommend that you exercise caution when forwarding an email to a third party, as that person may potentially gain access to information stored in your account.

Personalising and optimising your experience

By analysing your browsing data and the information you provide on the Website, we may send you personalised emails or advertising messages relating to the services offered by Watt Rally, in order to suggest trips that may best match your searches and to inform you about features and opportunities available on the Website, such as alerts and registration openings.

Analysing data relating to your use of the Website allows us to improve the services we provide when you browse the Website. Based on these analyses, we may present offers that we consider most relevant to you based on your experience.

Statistical analysis

Data relating to your bookings is used to produce statistical analyses that enable us to manage Watt Rally’s commercial activities.

Is your data shared?

Your data is shared with suppliers involved in fulfilling your booking where necessary for its proper performance.

In this context, your data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. If you book a trip to a destination located outside the EEA, the data required to process your booking will be transmitted to our suppliers.

Some countries may provide a lower level of protection for personal data than that guaranteed within Europe. In such circumstances, Watt Rally undertakes to take all appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is protected and processed by our suppliers in accordance with the law applicable within the EEA, in particular through the implementation of standard contractual clauses for data protection approved by the European Commission or contractual clauses previously authorised by the competent supervisory authorities.

In addition, in order to personalise your experience, we work with service providers to whom we delegate the sending of communications and/or the collection and processing of data so that it can be analysed and used to improve our services or personalise our communications. In this context, we only provide them with the data that is necessary and sufficient for them to perform their services. Our service providers are also contractually required to process the personal data they receive solely within the agreed framework and in compliance with applicable regulations.

For Watt Rally advertising retargeting purposes, we may also share certain data with partners or advertising platforms, including the products you have viewed on our Website, information relating to your quotations or bookings (including destination, departure date and number of passengers), the unique identifier of your mobile device and its operating system, and, in certain cases, your email address encrypted using a highly secure format.

How long is your data retained?

The personal data you provide to us relating to your member account and bookings, as well as your browsing data, is retained for a period of 10 years from your last activity on the Website or from the end date of your most recent trip.

At the end of this period, your member account will automatically be deactivated and you will need to create a new account if you wish to use our services again.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of data stored on a computer, tablet or mobile device when you browse the Internet. Cookies allow a website to recognise your browser.

How does this work on Watt Rally?

When you browse Watt Rally, you authorise us, through a consent cookie, to collect data relating to your browsing activity.

As a reminder, you can delete your cookies at any time by consulting the “Help” section of your Internet browser to configure these settings.

The data we collect mainly includes the pages you visit, open and leave, the type of browser and device you use, as well as information such as the number of clicks made on a given page. The data collected remains anonymous and does not reveal your identity. Advertising cookies: these are used to display advertisements for Watt Rally or third parties on other websites. This is known as “retargeting”. It is based on browsing information collected and the filters used when carrying out searches on our Website.
