Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, make a booking, communicate with hosts, or contact us for support. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide.

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, process transactions, send notifications related to your account and bookings, respond to your comments and questions, and provide customer service.

We only send you marketing emails if you have explicitly agreed to receive them, for example by ticking the dedicated box when signing up.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as described in this policy. We may share information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating the platform, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our platform and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device.

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work (sign-in, security, remembering your choices) are set without consent. Audience measurement cookies (Google Analytics) are only set with your consent, collected through our cookie banner. You can accept or refuse them and change your choice at any time using the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of every page. Your choice is kept for 6 months. You can also instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, or delete the personal information we hold about you, as well as the right to object, to restrict processing, and to data portability. You can exercise these rights by writing to contact@hostudent.xyz.

You may also opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those messages. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications related to your account and bookings.

If, after contacting us, you believe your rights have not been respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (www.cnil.fr).

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
