As used in this Policy, “personal data” is defined in the European General Data Protection Regulation of 2018, and includes any information which, either alone or in combination with other information we hold about you, identifies you, including, for example, your name, postal address, email address and telephone number.
3. Why do we need your personal data?
We need certain personal data in order to deliver the Services to you.
4. Your Consent.
By registering with Travelers Haven or submitting personal data through our Services, you expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. When you register with us, you are required to consent to our Privacy Policy. This consent provides us with a legal basis under applicable law to process your personal data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time.
5. Types of Information We Collect.
We collect information from you in a variety of ways: when you interact with our Services, when you register, and when you use the Services.
- Registration
- Member Account. We may collect personal data from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, and password when you create a Member Account or otherwise register as a User of the Services.
- Invitations from Administrators. If you are a User who has been invited to use the Services by an Administrator, your Administrator may provide us with your name and email address in order to facilitate such invitation.
- Location and Payment.
- Precise Location. While the App is in use, it may collect your precise location through the use of GPS on your mobile device and possibly through other signals such as nearby wi-fi access points, or Bluetooth-enabled devices. We may use this information to, for example, determine whether there is housing near you.
- Payment. When you choose to pay for a booking via the Services, we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name, credit card information, and billing information. We use the PCI-compliant payment processor(s) Elavon and/or Stripe to process all payments we collect through the Services. Travelers Haven does not store your credit card details.
- Additional Voluntary Disclosures by You.
- Contact Us. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply.
- Other Collections. We may also collect personal data at other points in the Services that state that personal data is being collected.
- Automatic Data Collection.
- IP Address. To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit. We may associate your IP address with your account and your other personal data.
- Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Site or the App, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or use the App again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to personal data.
- Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience of our Services.We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which are used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Services; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers on our Services, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Our Service uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with our Services and to enable you to use some of the features. For example, they help the content of the pages you request load quickly. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make when you use our Services, such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our Services which you can customize. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our Services.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Services and how users use our Services. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. The information is aggregated and anonymous. It includes the number of visitors to our Services, the websites that referred them to our Services, the pages they visited on our Services, what time of day they visited our Services, whether they have visited our Services before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our Services more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Services.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. It is only used to improve how our Services works. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsCookies
You can find out more about how Google protects your data here: www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.
You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of Services by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GBxTargeted and advertising cookies
These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with our permission, third party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show ads which may be relevant to your interests while you are on third party websites.
Social Media Cookies
These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on Services or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter or Google+. The social network will record that you have done this.
You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings,” “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. Further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.com.uk. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Services. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Services.
- Analytics. We may use third-party analytics providers (like Google Analytics) to help analyze how users use the Services. These analytics providers use cookies and other technologies to collect information such as how often users use the Services, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from these providers only to improve the Services. They collect the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site or use the App, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of such analytics with your personal data. Although such services may set persistent cookies on computer to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the cookie is designed to be used only by the service provider.
