5. CCTV and Property Security
CCTV may operate in external and common areas of the premises for safety, access control, incident review, and property protection. CCTV is not intended for private areas such as bedrooms or bathrooms.

We do not sell guest personal information.
7. Payment Information
We do not intentionally store full card details on our website. Online payment details are processed by payment providers or financial institutions according to their own security standards. We may store transaction references, payment status, amount paid, payment method, and confirmation records for booking, accounting, fraud prevention, and dispute management.
8. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for bookings, guest support, accounting, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and business records. CCTV footage may be retained for a limited period unless needed for an incident, investigation, claim, dispute, or legal requirement.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no website, payment channel, email, or messaging platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Guests are responsible for keeping their own devices, payment credentials, and communication channels secure.
10. Guest Rights
Subject to applicable law, guests and website visitors may request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or objection to certain processing of their personal data. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn, but this does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal.
11. Cookies and Analytics
The website may use necessary cookies or similar technologies for site functionality, security, performance, analytics, or booking flow improvement. If optional analytics or marketing tools are introduced, they should be used in line with applicable privacy requirements.
12. Third-Party Links
Our website may link to third-party platforms such as payment providers, social media platforms, maps, or booking platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third-party websites.

Our services are intended for adults making accommodation bookings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children except where provided by an adult guest or guardian as part of a legitimate stay or safety requirement.
