Privacy Policy

bunzbed (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a marketplace for budget hostels, bunkbeds, tents, and homestays. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use our website and services.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated when you use bunzbed.

  • Account information. When you sign up, we collect your email address and authentication credentials. If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information from Google (such as your name and email) as permitted by your Google account settings.
  • Property listings. If you list a property, we collect details you submit, including property name, address, location coordinates, WhatsApp contact number, photos, room details, amenities, and optional descriptions.
  • Search and usage data. We collect information about how you interact with the site, such as search queries, pages viewed, and actions taken (for example, exploring stays or submitting a listing).
  • Device and technical data. We may automatically collect browser type, device information, IP address, and similar technical data needed to operate and secure the service.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Display and verify property listings
  • Enable search, maps, and location-based features
  • Connect travellers with hosts (including displaying contact details you choose to share)
  • Improve, maintain, and secure our platform
  • Respond to support requests and enforce our policies

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in these circumstances:

  • Public listings. Information you include in a property listing (such as photos, address, and WhatsApp number) may be visible to other users and visitors.
  • Service providers. We use third-party services to run bunzbed, including Firebase (authentication, database, and file storage) and Google Maps / Places (search, geocoding, and map display). These providers process data on our behalf according to their own privacy policies.
  • Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of bunzbed, our users, or others.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser local storage where necessary to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and support core site functionality (for example, redirecting you after login). You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

Data retention

We retain your account and listing information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us; we will delete or anonymize your data unless we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Children's privacy

bunzbed is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of bunzbed after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
