What the request form collects
When you send a booking request we store what you typed: your name, email address, phone number if you gave one, number of guests, dates, whether a dog is coming, your notes, and your returning guest code if you used one. A request sent for you by an AI assistant carries the same details and is stored the same way.
Where it goes
The request is saved in our booking records, which are hosted by Cloudflare. One email with the request goes to our own inbox: Cloudflare routes it and the mailbox is Gmail (Google). We use your details to answer you, confirm your stay and keep the booking record.
Payment
New direct guests pay through a Stripe payment link. Stripe receives your email address and collects your card or bank details on its own pages. Returning guests are invoiced through PayPal. Card data never touches this site, and Stripe and PayPal handle your payment under their own privacy policies.
Rental agreement
The rental agreement is sent and returned by email. We do not use a signing service.
ID
We do not collect a government ID.
Visit statistics
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie free. There are no advertising trackers on this site.
How long we keep it
Booking records are kept as long as needed for the stay and for tax and accounting records, then deleted. A request that never became a booking is deleted when you ask.
