Civitfun works with providers located outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland whenever those jurisdictions are considered to provide an equivalent level of data protection. Where providers are located in countries without such equivalence, Civitfun ensures that all required privacy safeguards are implemented after assessing local legislation. Occasionally, your data may be transferred internationally when necessary to manage reservations or perform contractual obligations, such as sharing information with hotels or partners at your chosen destination.

These safeguards include contractual clauses, additional safeguards, or binding corporate rules approved by data protection authorities. For EEA citizens, these clauses are available here. The applicable regulations also allow us to transfer your data internationally when necessary to provide the services you have requested.

HBX Group also operates companies outside the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. In such cases, HBX Group requires those companies to implement adequate measures to protect personal data in accordance with European data protection legislation.
