Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SwipeStay ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you use our website and mobile application (together, the "Services"). Please read it alongside our affiliate disclosure below.

Information we collect

• Information you provide: if you contact us or sign up to be notified at launch, we collect the details you send us, such as your email address and message.
• Usage information: like most websites and apps, we may collect basic technical information automatically — for example device type, browser, approximate region, pages viewed and the time of your visit — to keep the Services working and to understand what's useful.
• Search preferences: when you use the app, choices such as your destination and dates are processed to show you relevant stays. Where possible these are stored on your device rather than on our servers.

How we use information

• To provide, maintain and improve the Services.
• To respond to your messages and support requests.
• To measure, in aggregate, how the Services are used so we can make them better.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse.

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies or similar technologies, including privacy-respecting analytics, to understand site traffic and improve content. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling them may affect some features but will not stop you reading our guides.

Affiliate links and third parties

Our Services may contain affiliate links to third-party booking partners. When you click such a link or make a booking, the partner and any affiliate network it uses may set cookies or otherwise process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We may receive a commission for qualifying bookings at no additional cost to you. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit, as we are not responsible for their practices.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Services (for example hosting and analytics providers), and where required by law. These providers are only permitted to use the information to perform services on our behalf.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. You can ask us to delete information you've provided at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@swipestay.app.

Children's privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
