Privacy and data protection.

Last updated 2026-06-13

This policy sets out the personal data we process, the purposes pursued, the retention periods and the rights available to you, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Identity of the data controller

Almara, whose operating base is in Mirleft, Morocco, is the controller of the personal data collected on this site. You can contact us at hello@surfcamp-almara.com.

Any request concerning your data is handled within a maximum of thirty days.

Data we collect

We collect the data you provide when making a booking request (name, email address, telephone, dates and stay package, accommodation preferences), together with the technical data generated by your browsing (IP address, browser type, language, referring page).

We collect no sensitive data. Your bank details are never stored on our servers: they are handled directly by our secure payment provider.

Purposes and legal bases

Booking data is processed for the performance of pre-contractual measures and of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Journal mailings rest on your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time. Audience measurement rests on the consent collected through the cookie banner.

Accounting records are retained under a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).

Processors

Your data may be entrusted to technical providers acting on our behalf under a processing agreement: hosting of the site and the database, sending of emails, payment processing. These providers are established in the European Union or offer equivalent safeguards.

The list of processors is available on request at hello@surfcamp-almara.com.

Retention

Booking data is kept for the duration of the relationship, then for the period necessary to follow up payments. Accounting records are kept in line with the applicable statutory periods. Proof of consent is kept until consent is withdrawn.

Once those periods have elapsed, the data is deleted from our systems.

Your rights

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection provided for by Articles 15 to 22 GDPR.

To exercise them, write to hello@surfcamp-almara.com. Your request is handled within a maximum of thirty days; the first request is free of charge.

Supervisory authority

You may at any time lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your place of habitual residence. For residents of the European Union, this is the national data protection authority (in France, the CNIL — cnil.fr).

No prior formality is required.

Cookies

We use a strictly limited set of cookies. Essential cookies (session, consent record, security) are exempt from consent. Audience-measurement cookies are activated only after your consent has been collected through the dedicated banner.

The detail of purposes and durations is set out in the cookie banner settings.

Acquisition channel measurement

When you make a booking, we optionally record the channel through which you found us, together with any campaign parameters (UTM) present in the arrival URL. This information is used solely to measure how well our communication channels work.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). No third-party cookie is set for this purpose. You may request erasure by email.

Who we are

Almara has its operating base in Mirleft, Morocco. It runs as a guest house licensed by the Souss-Massa regional tourism board, and specialises in accommodation and in organising surf and discovery trips.
