Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how La Maison Bleue - Naivasha (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit lamaisonbleue-naivasha.com or send a booking enquiry. We aim to keep data collection minimal and relevant to running this self-catering retreat.
Who we are
La Maison Bleue - Naivasha is a self-catering residence in Green Park, Naivasha, Kenya. For privacy questions, contact us at [email protected].
Information we collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Enquiry form: name, email address, optional phone number, preferred check-in and check-out dates, number of guests, and your message.
- Technical and security signals: basic request metadata used to protect the enquiry form (for example approximate IP-based rate limiting and anti-spam checks such as honeypot fields).
- Optional analytics: if you accept cookies, Vercel Analytics may collect anonymised usage metrics (for example pages visited and approximate device/browser information). This is not used to identify you personally.
- Third-party links and embeds: when you open our map or Instagram links, those services may process data under their own policies.
How we use your information
We use enquiry information to:
- Respond to booking and availability questions.
- Communicate about dates, capacity, and stay details.
- Protect the website against spam and abuse.
- Understand aggregate site usage when analytics consent is given.
Cookies and similar technologies
Essential operation of the site does not require marketing cookies. We use a small preference stored in your browser (local storage) to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics.
If you choose Accept, we load Vercel Analytics. If you choose Reject, we do not load analytics. You can change your choice later by clearing site data for this domain in your browser, which will show the consent banner again.
Email delivery
Enquiry messages are sent by email to [email protected] using our email delivery provider (Brevo / SMTP). Message content and your contact details are processed only to deliver and handle your enquiry.
How long we keep information
Enquiry emails are retained as long as needed to handle your request and ordinary business correspondence, then deleted or archived according to normal email practice. Analytics data, when enabled, is retained according to Vercel’s analytics retention settings.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site (hosting on Vercel, email delivery, and optional analytics if you consent), or when required by law.
Your choices
You may email us to ask what enquiry information we hold about you, request a correction, or ask us to delete correspondence where practical. You can also refuse optional analytics via the cookie banner.
International processing
Our hosting and email providers may process data in data centres outside Kenya. By using the site or submitting an enquiry, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed in those locations under the providers’ safeguards.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
