We are committed to maintaining the privacy of your personal information. We have developed this Privacy Policy to inform you of how we manage the personal information that we collect about you.

By providing personal information to us or by visiting or making a booking at Blanc Spa, you are taken as having read this Privacy Policy, and consent to the collection, use, disclosure and handling of your personal (including sensitive) information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

At the time of collection, or as soon as practicable after we have collected it, we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to notify or make you aware of the collection and of any matters relevant to the collection, unless it is obvious from the circumstances that you would know or would expect us to have the information.
