How We Process Your Personal Data

We will give access to your personal data to the extent it is relevant to the following categories of recipients:

  • Third parties with whom you choose through our Platform that we should share your information, including your contracting party
  • Affiliated companies
  • Third parties that carry out cleaning of the vacation property or perform marketing activities
  • Service providers who, for example, provide IT support and CRM system providers
  • Professional advisors
  • Public authorities including TAX insofar as it is required by law, including the law on the responsibility to report gross rental income, by court order, or where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights
  • Other third parties if you consent to it, or if they are involved in a merger or acquisition involving all or part of our business or assets therein.

Many of these companies are data processors and process your personal data – which we are data controllers for – following our instructions. Data processors may only use the information to fulfill their agreement with us and must treat the information confidentially. We have data processing agreements with our data processors, who process personal data on our behalf.

In cases where your personal data is disclosed to third parties that are independently responsible for data (e.g., the tax authorities), then the processing will take place according to these third parties' own privacy policies, and we have no control over this. There may also be situations where information is passed on to a third party, such as our suppliers and partners performing cleaning of the vacation property. Processing of personal data to coordinate cleaning is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, cf. GDPR Article 6(1)(b).

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the EU/EEA.

If this happens, we ensure that the processing of your personal data is still covered by an adequate level of data protection and complies with the data protection regulation. Such a transfer can only take place when a transfer basis has been secured. Furthermore, the transfer will be based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's standard contracts, which you have the right to receive a copy of. If you have questions about the basis for transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA please contact us as indicated below.
