Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-17
Phu Quoc Homestay ("we", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights over it.
1. Data we collect
- Booking data: name, dates, room type, guest count, contact number/email, special requests — provided by you via WhatsApp, Telegram, Zalo, email, or our booking form.
- Communication data: messages you send us on any channel.
- Website analytics: anonymised usage data (pages viewed, approximate location, device, referral source) — only if you consent to analytics cookies. See our Cookie Policy.
- Government ID: passport or ID number, collected at check-in as required by Vietnamese law for accommodation providers. Retained for the legal minimum period and then destroyed.
2. Why we use it
- To process your booking, communicate about your stay, and provide services.
- To comply with Vietnamese accommodation and tax law.
- To improve our website and services (analytics, aggregate only).
- To send you booking confirmations and, only with your opt-in, occasional updates about availability or promotions.
3. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with:
- Government authorities when legally required (police registration of overnight guests).
- Payment processors (bank, Stripe/equivalent) when processing a deposit.
- Analytics providers (Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrika) in anonymised form, only with your consent.
4. How long we keep it
- Booking communications: up to 2 years after check-out, then deleted.
- Government-mandated ID records: per Vietnamese law (currently 5 years).
- Analytics data: 14 months in Google Analytics (default setting).
5. Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, under GDPR you have the right to:
- Access a copy of your data.
- Correct or delete your data.
- Object to processing or withdraw consent at any time.
- File a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.
6. Security
We store booking records on encrypted devices and reputable cloud services. Our website uses HTTPS on every page. We do not store credit-card numbers ourselves — payments are handled by certified processors.
7. Children
Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors without a parent/guardian booking on their behalf.
8. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
9. Contact
Questions? Email [email protected] or message us on WhatsApp via the booking page.
