Privacy notice
La Grande Saison SAS is the data controller. Discretion is the service we sell, so this notice is short and we mean all of it.
Who we are
La Grande Saison SAS, a société par actions simplifiée registered in Paris, with offices in Paris and London, is the controller of personal data described here. Write to bureau@lagrandesaison.com with any question about it.
Last revised: 1 January 2026.
What we collect
From enquirers: name, email address, city, the name of the person who referred you, and whatever you choose to write in the enquiry itself.
From members: the above, plus the details required to work a calendar — travel dates and preferences, sizes and fittings where placement requires them, collecting interests, bidding instructions and limits, invoicing details, and correspondence with the bureau.
From this website: aggregate page counts only. We run no advertising pixels and no third-party analytics that identify you.
Why we hold it
To read and answer enquiries; to perform the membership agreement; to secure placement, credentials, representation and visits on your instruction; to invoice; and to meet accounting and anti-money-laundering obligations that apply to advisory work around the sales.
The lawful bases are performance of a contract, our legitimate interest in operating a referral-based bureau, and legal obligation. Where consent applies, you may withdraw it at any time.
Who sees it
Only the eleven people of the bureau, and then only the desks working your file. Beyond that we disclose the minimum required to carry out an instruction — a name to a press office for a seat, a paddle registration to an auction house, a passport detail to a foundation for a private visit. Nothing else is disclosed, and we never confirm that a person is a member.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we accept no commission from any third party for an introduction.
Where it lives, and for how long
Data is held on servers within the European Union. Where an instruction requires a transfer outside the EEA — a sale in New York or Hong Kong — it is made under standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
Enquiries that do not proceed are deleted after twelve months. Member records are kept for the term of membership and six years thereafter, for accounting and provenance purposes, and then destroyed.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to the bureau; we answer within one month.
You may also complain to the CNIL in France, or to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom.
