Privacy Policy 🛡️
Your privacy and data security are our top priorities at Stay Del Rey.
📋 Table of Contents
Important: If you booked via Booking.com/VRBO, they are a separate controller with their own privacy policies. This policy covers only Stay Del Rey's direct data handling.
This policy explains what we collect, why, how we use/share it, and the choices you have when you use Stay Del Rey's website and services (direct bookings, messaging, support).
What we collect and why
- • Contact and booking details (name, email, phone, stay dates, guests) — to manage reservations, support, and confirmations.
- • Payment details (handled by our payment processor; we don't store full card numbers) — to take deposits and payments.
- • Government ID/age verification (when required by building rules or law) — safety & fraud prevention.
- • Communications (emails, forms, texts/WhatsApp) — support history and service quality.
- • Stay logistics (arrival time, vehicle info, lock codes) — check-in/out, parking.
- • Device and usage data (cookie ID, pages viewed, IP, approximate location) — site security, analytics, and improvements.
- • Optional preferences (accessibility needs, pillow type, early/late check-in) — to personalize your stay.
Sources
Directly from you; from your travel companion/booking contact; from OTAs when you book there; and from service providers (payment, messaging, analytics).
OTA Bookings: If a guest books via Booking.com/VRBO, their policy applies, and we receive only the data necessary to fulfill the stay.
How we use your data
- • Provide and manage reservations, payments, invoices, taxes, and receipts.
- • Verify identity and protect against fraud/abuse.
- • Operate in-stay support (e.g., sending access codes and guides).
- • Improve site performance and content (analytics).
- • Marketing with consent/legitimate interest (news, local guides, direct-booking offers). You can unsubscribe anytime.
Smart devices & safety disclosures
- • Smart locks: unique codes per stay; codes expire after checkout.
- • Cameras: none inside homes. Exterior/common-area cameras may be present for safety and building security (details in your unit guide).
- • Noise: no audio recording; if a decibel sensor is used, it measures volume only to protect quiet hours.
Retention
- • Reservation/tax records: 7 years (legal).
- • Access logs & lock code metadata: up to 90 days (security).
- • Support messages: up to 24 months (service quality).
- • ID verification (if collected): deleted within 30 days after checkout unless needed for fraud/disputes.
We delete/anonymize earlier when no longer needed.
Your choices & rights
- • Access, correct, or delete your data.
- • Opt out of marketing at any time.
🏛️ California residents (CPRA):
We honor California rights to know, correct, delete, and opt-out of "selling" or "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We will verify your request and respond within 45 days (extendable once where permitted). You may use an authorized agent.
🇪🇺 EEA/UK residents:
Requests under GDPR, including data portability and objection to processing. Our primary processing occurs in the U.S.; when transferring data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs) and vetted providers.
Submit requests: privacy@staydelrey.com or use the form on our Support page. We'll verify your identity before acting on a request. You may designate an authorized agent (CA).
Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), restricted access, MFA on admin accounts, least-privilege controls for staff/contractors, and vendor reviews. No method is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Children
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and bookings require an adult 18+ (or 21+ where required). If we learn a child provided data, we'll delete it.
Financial incentives (CA)
At times we offer member pricing, referral credits, or email-signup discounts that may be considered a "financial incentive." Participation is voluntary; you can opt out anytime by unsubscribing. We estimate the value of data based on our good-faith calculation of program costs and expected benefits.
Changes
We'll update this policy as needed and post the new effective date. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
