- Phone number (optional)
- Booking details (check-in/check-out dates and number of guests)
- The contents of any message or information you choose to send us
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our platform and customer support
- Respond to your direct inquiries, questions, and support requests
- Forward booking requests to private hosts (only when submitting a property-specific inquiry)
- Prevent fraudulent activities, automated spam (via honeypot security), and ensure overall website safety
3. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above depends on the specific context in which we collect it:

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your data is only shared in the following scenarios:

propertysingle.phpfor a private listing, your name, email, dates, and message are securely forwarded to the specific host so they can contact you directly. - To Our Technical Partners: For OYO/Belvilla properties, clicking external booking links redirects you to their platform, which operates under its own privacy policy.
5. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Form submissions sent via email are stored securely in our mail server logs to handle follow-up communication and are automatically cleared periodically when no longer needed.
