Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Reservations are made on HotelMate's own booking page, not on this site — see their privacy policy for what they collect when you book. Directly on this site, we collect:

• Enquiries (/contact): your name, the contact detail you provide (email or phone), and your message — saved the moment you choose to send it on WhatsApp or by email, alongside that hand-off, not instead of it.
• A Google account, only if you sign in: the name, email address and profile picture Google provides. This is currently used by our staff to manage the site.

2. How we use it

To respond to your enquiry and reach you about your stay. We don't sell, rent, or share it with advertisers, and we don't use it to build a marketing profile.

3. Third parties involved

• HotelMate — reservations, pricing and availability are handled entirely by our HotelMate booking page, a separate site with its own privacy policy. We don't see what you enter there until a confirmed booking reaches our HotelMate account.
• Google Maps — the map on this site and on /contact loads a script from Google, which is subject to Google's own privacy policy.
• Google Sign-In — used only if you choose to sign in.
• WhatsApp and your mail app — when you press a "Send on WhatsApp" or "Send by email" button, your own device opens that app with a message we composed but you send. Our servers do not transmit anything to WhatsApp or a mail provider on your behalf.
• Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights — aggregate, cookie-free usage and performance metrics for this site. They don't identify you individually.

4. Where it's stored

Enquiry records live in our PostgreSQL database (hosted on Neon). Site images are stored with Vercel Blob. Both are accessible only to authenticated staff.

5. What stays on your device

If we sign you in, we set one session cookie (auth-session); we don't set marketing or tracking cookies.
