What information we collect. We collect information about you when you use the GuestLink services. This information includes registration details, personal identifiers and your service preferences.

Who we share your information with. We may share your information with the vacation rental host or property management company with which you are staying (the "Host").

QUICK GUIDE TO CONTENTS
The Host through which the Services are available does not collect any information through your use of the Services, but we may share certain types of information with the Host, as described below. Please remember that this Privacy Policy only covers your activities while on the GuestLink Domains; to the extent you visit third party websites, including the websites of our partners, the privacy policies of those websites will govern. Users who reside outside of the United States should note that their information will be held and processed in the United States. In certain circumstances, foreign courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access your personal information without notice to you. By accepting this Privacy Policy, whether by establishing an Account (as defined below), signing-in to your Account, accessing the Services as a guest, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
For clarity: GuestLink provides a software service that allows Hosts to share WiFi access information with their guests and to collect guest contact information. GuestLink does not provide, own, operate, or manage the WiFi network at any property, and GuestLink does not monitor, route, intercept, or collect your network traffic or browsing activity on that network. The WiFi network itself is provided by the Host through the Host's own internet service provider.
Personal Information You Provide to Us
When using the Services, you will, in most cases, be required to provide information that could reasonably be used to contact you, or to identify you personally, or that otherwise relates to your person (such as your name, mailing or billing address, telephone number, or email address, email preferences, password for your Account and password hint question (collectively, "Personal Information")). For example, GuestLink may collect Personal Information when you register on the Site, request information, submit comments or participate in some promotion, survey or other feature of the Sites, or otherwise communicate or interact with us. In addition, you may choose to provide contact information for friends you may wish us to contact. When you provide us information for these "refer a friend" messages, we use the information only to send the message you request and the information will not be used for other marketing purposes unless your friend consents. You may be identified to the friend in connection with such message. Please check that friends you refer are happy for us to contact them. The Sites may also ask you to provide other information about yourself, such as demographic information (gender, zip code, age, etc.) or certain information about your preferences, product use and interests.
Information Collected by Automated Means
Whenever you use the Services, GuestLink, as well as any of our third-party service providers, may use a variety of tools and technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Services are accessed and used ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, among other things, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, how many users visited the Sites, subscriber status and preceding page views. This data provides us with information about the use of the Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Sites, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they "click" on. This information helps us to keep the Services fresh and interesting to our visitors and to tailor content to a visitor's interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if GuestLink associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, GuestLink treats it as Personal Information. GuestLink does not collect or monitor your network traffic on any property's WiFi network.
Device Identifiers
In the course of collecting Usage Information, GuestLink also automatically collects your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Device") you use to access the Services. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a website or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. When you visit the Sites, we may view your Device Identifier. We may use this information to determine the general physical location of your Device. We also may use this information to enhance the Services and we may associate your Device Identifier with your Personal Information. The technologies used on the Services to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, may include, without limitation:
Web Beacons
We may also include web beacons (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, tracking beacons and clear GIFs) with the content and emails that we deliver to you, which we will use to collect information regarding your interaction with such content. A web beacon is a transparent graphic image placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed or that an email has been forwarded. In addition, a web beacon allows third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in Cookies set by third parties. A web beacon may also tell your browser to get content from another server.
We use and store information we collect about and from you to: provide the Services to you, respond to requests that you make, improve the Services, and better tailor content, offers and the features, performance and support of the Services; and for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your Personal Information or otherwise with your consent.
We use your Personal Information to send you electronic newsletters and promotional emails on behalf of the Host, including: (a) a welcome email after you provide your contact information; (b) periodic newsletter emails with information and insights about the geographic area where the property is located; and (c) emails with offers to book future stays directly with the Host. You can unsubscribe through a link in the email at any time. By providing your contact information through the GuestLink services you consent to receive marketing messages from, or sent on behalf of, the relevant Host.
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so. We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information and Usage Information with third parties. We may also share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in the following circumstances:
Advertising Partners. Notwithstanding any other provision, we may partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you.

Our partners may link the nonpersonal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes.
