3. How We Share Information

We may share information only as reasonably necessary for the following purposes:

• With hosts or property partners when you request information about a listing, inquiry, or booking-related matter.
• With service providers that help us run our website, email services, analytics, hosting, customer support, or form delivery.

• In connection with a business transfer, merger, reorganization, or similar corporate transaction.

We do not sell personal information for money. If your business model changes later, this section should be updated before launch.

4. Direct Booking and Third-Party Sites

Our website is designed to help visitors discover stays and connect directly with hosts. When you leave our site and use a host’s website, booking engine, payment processor, or other third-party service, their own privacy policies and terms will apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, cookie controls on the website.

6. Newsletter and Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may use your email address to send travel inspiration, updates, promotions, and related content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and how it is used.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information, and to object to or withdraw consent from some processing activities. You may also have the right to request a copy of the data we hold about you.

10. International Users

Our services may be accessed by users in different countries. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, where privacy laws may be different from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we will take appropriate steps to protect personal information in cross-border transfers.
