<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>MY IVVI Rentals provides online travel services through its websites and mobile apps and other online platforms such as partners’ websites and social media. The information that follows applies to all of these platforms.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Privacy</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>What kind of personal information does MY IVVI Rentals use?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When you make a reservation, you’ll be asked for your name, address, telephone number, email address, payment details, the names of guests travelling with you and your preferences for your stay.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To make it easier to manage your reservations, you can open a user account. This allows you to save your settings, review previous bookings and manage future reservations.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When you visit our website, even if you don’t make a reservation, we may collect certain information, like your IP address, or browser, and information about your computer’s operating system, application version, language settings and pages that have been shown to you. If you’re using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics and latitude/longitude details.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We may also receive information about you when you use certain social media services.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Why does MY IVVI Rentals collect, use and share your data?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Reservations</em>: First and foremost, we use your data to complete and administer your online reservation and forward your reservation details to the accommodation you have booked.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Customer service</em>: We provide international customer service 24/7 from our local offices in more than 8 languages. Sharing your details with our global customer service allows for a quick response when you need us – including helping you find appropriate services and any questions you might have about your reservation.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Guest reviews</em>: We may use your contact information to invite you to write a guest review after your stay. This can help other travellers choose a place to stay that suits them best.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Account administration</em>: We offer a user account facility on our website. We use the information you give us to administer this, allowing you to manage your bookings, take advantage of special offers, make future reservations more easily and manage your settings. Managing personal settings allows you to keep and share lists, share photos, see properties that you’ve searched for before, and see other information you’ve provided about accommodations and destinations. It also allows you to see any reviews you submitted about places you stayed in. If you want, you can share certain information in your user account by creating a public profile associated with your first name or a screen name of your choice. The type of information you can share on this platform includes your photo, the names of places you’ve stayed in, your lists, your plans for future trips, your reviews and other information about services and destinations.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Marketing activities</em>: We also use your information for marketing activities, as permitted by law. For example:<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>When you make a reservation with us or set up a user account, we may use your contact information to send you news about similar travel-related products and services. We also send our customers regular newsletters by email. You can opt out, out or unsubscribe, from marketing communication at any time.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Based on the information you share with us, individualized offers may be shown to you on the Traveler website, in mobile apps or on third-party websites, including social media sites.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>When we believe that a particular offer may be of interest to you, we may decide to make contact with you by phone.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list --></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Other communications</em>: There may be other times when we get in touch by email, by post, by phone or by texting you, depending on the contact information you share with us. There could be several reasons for this:<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>We may need to respond to and handle requests you have made.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>If you haven’t finalized a reservation online, we may email you a reminder to continue with your reservation. We believe that this additional service is useful to you because it allows you to carry on with a reservation without having to search for the service items again or fill in all the reservation details from scratch.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>When you use our services, we may send you a questionnaire or invite you to provide a review about your experience with Traveler.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>We may also send you other material related to your reservation, such as how to contact Traveler if you need assistance while you’re away, or a summary of previous reservations you made using MY IVVI Rentals.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list --></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Market research</em>: We sometimes ask our customers to take part in market research. Any additional personal details that you give us as part of the market research will only be used with your consent.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Fraud detection and prevention</em>: We may use personal data for the detection and prevention of fraud and other illegal or unwanted activities.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Improving our services</em>: Finally, we use personal information for analytical purposes, to improve our services, enhance the user experience, and improve the functionality and quality of our online travel services.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How does MY IVVI Rentals use social media?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We use social media to promote our service partners’ properties and to promote, improve and facilitate our own services website. For example, we integrated social media plugins into the MY IVVI Travel websites. So when you click on one of the buttons and register with your social media account, information is shared with your social media provider, and possibly presented on your social media profile to be shared with others in your network.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In addition to implementing these buttons, MY IVVI Rentals uses social media by maintaining accounts on several social media sites and by offering social apps. These social media services may allow you to share information with MY IVVI Rentals. Registering with a social media app will tell you which information will be shared with MY IVVI Rentals. The information you choose to share with us may include the basic information that’s already available in your social media profile, email address, status updates and your friends list. This information is necessary to create a unique user experience either in the app itself or on our website. It facilitates things like personalizing our website to suit your needs, connecting you with your friends on travel destinations and analyzing and enhancing our travel-related services.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We may also enable you to sign in to MY IVVI Rentals services with your social media accounts. Your social media provider will be able to tell you more about how they use and process your data in such cases.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How does MY IVVI Rentals share your data with third parties?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In certain circumstances, we may share your data with third parties.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>The accommodation you booked</em>: To complete your reservation, we need to transfer relevant reservation details to the services (hotels/rentals/cars/cruises/tours/activities) you booked with. This may include information like your name, contact and payment details, the names of guests travelling with you and any preferences you specified when making a booking.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Your local MY IVVI Rentals office</em>: To support you during the reservation process and throughout your stay, your details may be shared with subsidiaries of MY IVVI Rentals corporate family. To find out more about the MY IVVI Rentals corporate family, visit <a href="https://travel.my-ivvi.com/dev/about-us/">About <em>MY IVVI Travel</em></a>. Your information might also be shared with other members of the MY IVVI Rentals group (for example: Agoda.com, Rentalcars.com and Kayak.com) for analysis to provide you with travel-related offers that may be of interest to you and to offer you customized service.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Third-party service providers</em>: We may use third-party service providers to process your personal information for the purposes specified above. For example, we may use service providers to send the reservation information on our behalf to the service item you just booked, or we may instruct third parties to contact you. When a reservation requires it, we may also work with third-party payment service providers to facilitate payment or payment guarantees. We also work with third-party advertisement networks to market our accommodation and services on other platforms or involve third-party providers for analytical purposes. These third parties involved in any of these services will be bound by confidentiality agreements and will not be allowed to use your personal information for any purposes other than those specified above.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Competent authorities</em>: We work with partner websites around the world to distribute the service items listed on our website and mobile apps (Hotels/Rentals/Cars/Cruises/Tours/Activities). When you make a reservation on one of these business partners’ websites, certain personal information that you give them may be shared with us. Similarly, we may share information with this business partner, for example, as part of the administration of your account, to manage your reservation, so that they can address queries related to your reservation and for marketing purposes. In this context, your information is governed by the privacy policies of these business partners.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Business partners</em>: We work with business partners around the world to distribute or advertise services and to help our business partners distribute and advertise their travel-related services. This may mean that their services are integrated into our website or they have been enabled to show a customized advertisement on our website – or we are advertising on theirs. When you make a reservation on one of our business partner’s websites, certain personal data that you give them will be forwarded to us. Certain business partners may receive your data from us if requested by you. When you make a reservation on a business partner’s website, please read the privacy policies on these business partners’ websites for more information.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How does MY IVVI Rentals use mobile devices?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We have free apps for a variety of mobile devices and use versions of our regular website that have been optimized for mobile. These apps and mobile websites similarly process your details as our website does – and they also allow you to use location services to find services nearby.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How does MY IVVI Rentals</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>use guest reviews and other destination-related information you share with us?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After you use any service booked through us, you’ll be invited to submit a guest review, which may ask for information about the service item, the surrounding areas, and the destination. If you don’t want your name to show with your review, you can use your screen name (which you can choose in your user account) or it can be displayed anonymously. By completing a guest review, you’re agreeing that it can be displayed (as further described in our&nbsp;<a href="https://travel.my-ivvi.com/dev/terms-and-conditions/">Terms and Conditions</a>) on, for example, the relevant service information page on our websites, in our mobile apps, in our social media accounts and social apps, or on the website of the relevant property or on our business partner’s website, to inform other travellers about the quality of the service item you used.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you indicate that a guest review was helpful – or not helpful – we will aggregate this with feedback from other customers to sort and prioritize guest reviews. We may use the information in your lists or in other destination-related information you share with us in an anonymous format to help other travellers find the right destination.</p>

<p><strong>What is a cookie?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed in the browser of your computer or on your mobile device. This Privacy and Cookies Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies (hereafter together referred to as “cookies”).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Why are cookies used?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Web pages have no memory. If you are surfing from page to page within a website, you will not be recognized as the same user across pages. Cookies enable your browser to be recognized by the website. So cookies are mainly used to remember the choices you have made – choices such as the language you prefer and the currency you use. They will also make sure you are recognized when you return to a website.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Do all cookies do the same thing?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>No, there are different types of cookies and different ways of using them. Cookies can be categorized according to their function, their lifespan and according to who places them on a website.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How are cookies used?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our website uses the following types of cookies:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Technical cookies</em>: We try to provide our visitors with an advanced and user-friendly website that adapts automatically to their needs and wishes. To achieve this, we use technical cookies to show you our website, to make it function correctly, to create your user account, to sign you in and to manage your bookings. These technical cookies are necessary for our website to function properly.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Functional cookies</em>: We also use functional cookies to remember your preferences and to help you use our website efficiently and effectively. For example, we remember your preferred currency and language, your searches and the property you viewed earlier. These functional cookies are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our website, but they add functionality for you and enhance your experience.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Analytics cookies</em>: We use these cookies to gain insight into how our visitors use the website, to find out what works and what doesn’t, to optimize and improve our website and to ensure we continue to be interesting and relevant. The data we gather includes which web pages you viewed, which referring/exit pages you entered and left from, which platform type you used, date and time stamp information and details such as the number of clicks you make on a given page, your mouse movements and scrolling activity, the search words you use and the text you type while using our website. We also use analytics cookies as part of our online advertising campaigns to learn how users interact with our website after they’ve been shown an online advertisement, which may include advertisements on third-party websites. We will not know who you are, and we only obtain anonymous data.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><em>Commercial cookies</em>: We use these to show you advertisements on other websites. This is called “retargeting” and it aims to be based on your browsing activities on our website, such as the destinations you’ve been searching for, the properties you’ve viewed and the prices you’ve been shown.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>How long do MY IVVI Rentals</strong> <strong>cookies stay active?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yes, MY IVVI Travel uses the services of trusted and recognized online advertising and marketing companies. MY IVVI Rentals may also use third-party providers for analytical purposes. To enable their services, these companies need to place cookies.</p>

<p>The providers we use are committed to building consumer awareness and establishing responsible business and data management practices and standards.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When it comes to online advertising and marketing companies, we strive to only work with companies that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and/or the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). Members of NAI and IAB adhere to industry standards and codes of conduct. NAI and IAB members allow you to opt out of behavioural advertising.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you choose not to accept certain cookies, you may not be able to use some functions on our website. Plus, opting out of an online advertising network doesn’t mean that you won’t receive or be subject to online advertising or marketing analysis. It means that the network you opted out of will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and browsing patterns.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Does MY IVVI Travel use web beacons?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In addition to using cookies, MY IVVI Rentals sometimes uses web beacons. A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that’s delivered to your computer either as part of a web page request or in an HTML email message. Either directly or through service providers, we use these pixels as part of our online advertisements either on our website or on third-party websites to learn whether a user who is being shown an online advertisement also makes a reservation; to track conversion with partner websites and to analyze a user’s traffic patterns to optimize the travel-related services we bring to you.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Security</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Your credit card details – when they are needed as part of the reservation process – are stored for a maximum of 10 days. After that, your credit card data will be either permanently deleted from our systems or will remain hashed in our system for fraud detection purposes. This is unless you have chosen to store your credit card details in your account.</p>
