88Vacation Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how 88Vacation collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use our website, apps, and services.

Last updated: 23 February 2026

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to 88Vacation ("88Vacation", "we", "us", or "our") and covers your use of our websites, mobile applications, communications, and any other services we provide that link to or reference this policy (collectively, the "Services").

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at: [email protected].

2. Information we collect

We collect information in three main ways: (a) information you provide directly to us, (b) information collected automatically when you use the Services, and (c) information we receive from third parties.

2.1 Information you provide to us

This includes information you submit when you create an account, make a booking, contact support, or otherwise communicate with us, such as:

  • Contact details (name, email address, phone number, billing address).
  • Account details (username, password, preferences, saved properties).
  • Booking information (itinerary details, dates, number of guests, special requests).
  • Payment-related information (payment method type, partial card details as allowed, transaction identifiers) processed via our payment partners.
  • Communications you send us (support requests, feedback, reviews, survey responses).

If you choose to receive SMS messages from 88Vacation, we will collect and process your phone number and any mobile message preferences you provide. By opting in to receive SMS communications, you consent to receive text messages about bookings, reservation updates, security alerts, and promotional offers where you have given explicit consent. Standard message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying 'STOP' to any message or following the unsubscribe instructions included in the message. We may also use your phone number for verification and fraud-prevention purposes (e.g., two-factor authentication). No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Payment processing is handled by compliant third-party processors.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you use 88Vacation, we automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with the Services, including:

  • Device and connection data (IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers).
  • Usage data (pages viewed, features used, search queries, clicks, referring/exit pages, timestamps).
  • Location data (approximate location based on IP address, or more precise location if you grant permission in your device settings).
  • Log and diagnostic information (crash data, performance metrics, and error reports).

Some of this information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies. For more details, see the "Cookies and similar technologies" section below.

2.3 Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from other sources, such as:

  • Travel partners and property hosts who share booking- and stay-related details.
  • Payment providers and fraud prevention services.
  • Analytics, advertising, and marketing partners.
  • Social sign-in providers, if you choose to register or log in through a social account.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Provide and operate the Services, including processing bookings and payments.
  • Personalize your experience, such as remembering your preferences and showing relevant listings.
  • Communicate with you about your account, bookings, updates to our terms and policies, and service-related announcements.
  • Send you marketing communications (where permitted by law and your preferences) about offers, listings, and features we think may interest you.
  • Monitor, maintain, and improve the performance and security of the Services.
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and other harmful or illegal activities.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements and policies.

4. Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis, including:

  • Performance of a contract: to provide the Services you request (e.g., managing bookings).
  • Legitimate interests: to improve our Services, ensure security, prevent fraud, and market our offerings (when not overridden by your interests or rights).
  • Consent: for certain marketing activities, cookies, or when you explicitly agree to specific processing.
  • Legal obligations: to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and requests from authorities.

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following situations:

  • With property hosts and travel partners: to fulfill your bookings and facilitate your stay.
  • With service providers: who help us operate the Services (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support, payment processing, marketing).
  • For legal and safety reasons: to comply with laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests; to enforce our terms; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 88Vacation, our users, or others.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
  • With your consent: when you explicitly agree to our sharing your information in a particular way.
  • We may share mobile-related information (such as phone numbers and device identifiers) with service providers, travel partners, property hosts, and carriers when necessary to send SMS communications, facilitate reservations, process payments, or prevent fraud. We will not share your phone number with third parties for their direct marketing without your explicit consent.
  • Phone numbers will not be sold or shared with third parties.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings and, where required by law, we will request your consent for non-essential cookies.

7. Data retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the data and the purposes for which we use it. When we no longer need your information, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if that is not possible, we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing.

8. How we protect your information

We use a combination of technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of your information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Object to or restrict the processing of your information.
  • Withdraw consent, where processing is based on your consent.
  • Receive a copy of your information in a portable format (data portability).

You can exercise some of these rights directly through your account settings. For other requests, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and certain rights may be limited by applicable law.

10. International transfers

88Vacation may process and store your information in countries other than where you live. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. When we transfer personal data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities, to protect your information.

11. Children’s privacy

88Vacation is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law (for example, 13 or 16 years old). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address listed below.

12. Third-party links and services

Our Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, apps, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with 88Vacation.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice (such as by email or in-app notification). Your continued use of the Services after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
