Here’s the Deal: Your privacy matters to us. We collect some information so things run smoothly, but we’re not creepy, we don’t sell your soul, and we definitely don’t stalk you. We guard your data like a beach dog guards its favourite stick. 🐕
Mystery Data: Anonymous stuff that doesn’t identify you personally — things like browser type, pages visited, and how long you stared at our beach photos dreaming of quitting your job. 🕶️
Not‑So‑Mystery Data: Personal info you willingly give us, like your name, email address, phone number, and booking details when you make a reservation, sign up for updates, or contact us. 🧳
To manage bookings and payments
To communicate important stay information
To send you news, updates, or special offers (only if you’re cool with that)
To improve our website and avoid showing you irrelevant nonsense 📺
Only trusted humans and systems that need it — such as booking platforms, payment processors, and essential service providers. We may also share data if legally required, because even beach hostels have to obey the law. 🚔
You can request access to your data, ask us to correct it, or request deletion. Some info we have to keep for legal or accounting reasons — but we’ll always be transparent about that. 📜
Only as long as necessary for bookings, legal obligations, or sensible business reasons. Think of it like sunscreen — we keep it as long as it’s useful, not forever. 🧴
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. That said, no system on the internet is 100% pirate‑proof. If a hacker sneaks through, they’re the villain — not us. 🏴☠️
Cookies: Small files that help the website remember your preferences and behave itself.
Session Cookies: Disappear when you leave the site.
Persistent Cookies: Stick around a bit longer, like sand in your backpack.
Third‑Party Cookies: Set by services like analytics or booking tools.
You can disable cookies in your browser, but doing so may cause parts of the site to act a little weird.
This policy may be updated from time to time. We’ll always keep the latest version right here.
