It is also processed on our behalf by our technical providers: booking management software and booking engine (Hostaway), payment provider, site host (Wix), cleaning scheduling and messaging tools. If you book through a platform (Airbnb, Booking.com, Abritel…), it passes on the data needed for your stay and applies its own privacy policy. Finally, your data may be disclosed to the authorities where required by law. It is never sold.
