Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 May 2026
This policy explains how Binared Ltd, which operates Staybothy, handles your personal data. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.
1. Who we are
Binared Ltd (company number [COMPANY NUMBER]), registered office [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. For any privacy question, email [email protected].
2. What we collect
- Account data — for hosts: name, email, phone, password (stored hashed), and listing content you upload.
- Booking data — for guests: name, email, phone, stay dates, and any messages or notes relating to the booking.
- Payment data — handled by Stripe. We do not store full card details; we receive limited confirmation and reference information from Stripe.
- Technical data — basic logs and a session cookie needed to keep you signed in. We do not run third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
3. Why we use it, and our legal basis
- To provide the service and process bookings — performance of a contract.
- To run and secure the platform, prevent fraud and improve it — legitimate interests.
- To send marketing or campaign emails where you have opted in — consent (you can withdraw it at any time via the unsubscribe link).
- To meet accounting, tax and other legal duties — legal obligation.
4. Who we share it with
When a guest books a property, the relevant booking details are shared with that host, so they can fulfil the stay. We use trusted processors to run the service, including Stripe (payments), our email provider, and our hosting provider. We do not sell your personal data. Some processors may operate outside the UK; where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as UK-approved transfer mechanisms).
5. How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal requirements (for example, booking and payment records for the period required by tax law), then delete or anonymise it.
6. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to access, correct, delete or port your data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
7. Cookies
We use only the cookies necessary to operate the site — principally a secure session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
8. Changes
We may update this policy; the version on this page, with the date above, is the current one.
