Cookies and other Tracking Technologies

As a result, when you access or use the Platform, you will provide or make available certain information to us and to our business partners.
  • While you may disable the usage of cookies through your browser settings, we do not change our practices in response to a "Do Not Track" signal in the HTTP header from your browser or mobile application. We track your activities if you click on advertisements for eDormire services on Third-Party platforms such as search engines and social networks, and may use analytics to track what you do in response to those advertisements.
  • We may, either directly or through Third Parties (means companies or persons not related by common ownership or other unrelated individuals) we engage to provide services to us, also continue to track your behaviour on our own Platform for purposes of our own customer support, analytics, research, product development, fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, as well as to enable you to use and access the Platform and pay for your activities on the Platform. We may also, either directly or through Third-Parties we engage to provide services to us, track your behaviour on our own Platform to market and advertise our services to you on the Platform and Third-Party websites. Third Parties that use cookies and other tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertisements on our Platform and/or Third-Party websites may offer you a way to prevent such targeted advertisements by opting-out at the websites of industry groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance. You may also be able to control advertising cookies provided by publishers, for example, Google's Ad Preference Manager. Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still receive advertising on or about the Platform – it just will not be tailored to your interests. In addition, if you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of using our Platform, Application and Services, as cookies are necessary to track and enhance your use and access.
  • Third Parties may not collect information about users' online activities on the Platform except as described in this Policy and our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party social plugins

  • Our Platform may use social plugins which are provided and operated by Third-Parties, such as Facebook's Like Button.
  • As a result of this, you may send to the Third-Party the information that you are viewing on a certain part of our Platform. If you are not logged into your account with the Third-Party, then the Third Party may not know your identity. If you are logged into your account with the Third Party, then the Third Party may be able to link information about your visit to our Platform to your account with them. Similarly, your interactions with the social plugin may be recorded by the Third Party.
  • Please refer to the Third Party's privacy policy to find out more about its data practices, such as what data is collected about you and how the Third Party uses such data.

We use, store and process information about you for the following general purposes:

  • to enable you to access and use the Platform;
  • to enable you to communicate with other Members, including but not limited to by sending them messages or other information during the Booking process;
  • to operate, protect, improve and optimise the Platform, eDormire's business, and our users' experience, such as to perform analytics, conduct research, personalise or otherwise customise your experience, and to provide customer service;
  • to help create and maintain a trusted and safer environment on the Platform and Services, such as detection and prevention of actual and potential fraud and other harmful activity, conducting investigations and risk assessments, enforcing our Terms and policies, verifying the address of your listings, verifying any identifications provided by you (including by comparing the photo on that identification to another photo you provide to us), and conducting checks against databases and information sources (such as but not limited to public government databases) for fraud detection and prevention, risk assessment and harm prevention purposes. In this regard, we may do any or all of the foregoing with or without further notifying you;
  • to send you service, support and administrative messages, reminders, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and information requested by you;
  • to send you marketing, advertising, and promotional messages and other information that may be of interest to you, including information about eDormire, our services, or general promotions for partner campaigns and services;though you can unsubscribe or opt-out from receiving these communications in your settings (in the "Account" section) when you login to your eDormire Account
  • to administer referral programs, rewards, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by eDormire or our Third Party business partners; and
  • to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes that we may have with any of our users, and enforce our agreements with Third Parties

How eDormireuses and processes user communications

We may, either directly or through Third-Parties we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, or analyse your communications with other users exchanged via the Platform for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research and customer support purposes. For example, as part of our fraud prevention efforts, the Platform may scan and analyse messages and attachments to mask contact information and references to other websites. This helps to prevent fraudulent actors from asking Tenants (any Member who requests a booking from a Property Manager or stays in the rented property) to send them money outside of the Platform, such as by bank transfer or other money transfer methods. We may also scan, review or analyse messages for research and product development purposes to help make asearch, booking and user communications more efficient and effective, as well as to debug, improve and expand product offerings. We will not review, scan, or analyse your communications for sending Third-Party marketing messages to you. We will also not sell these reviews or analyses of communications to Third Parties. We will also use automated methods to carry out these reviews or analyses where reasonably possible. However, from time to time we may have to manually review some communications. By using the Platform, you consent that eDormire, in its sole discretion, may, either directly or through Third-Parties we engage to provide services to us, review, scan, analyse, and store your communications, whether done manually or through automated means.

When eDormire discloses or shares your personal information, and to whom

When you use the Platform, your data may be sent to other countries in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Your Personal Information may be transferred, stored, used, processed and disclosed as follows:

  • Parts of your public profile page that contain some Personal Information may be displayed in other parts of the Platform to other users for marketing purposes or if you post content in a community forum or other features on the Platform that are visible to the general public.
  • Your public Listing page will always include some minimum information such as the city and neighbourhood where the Accommodation is located, your listing description, your calendar availability, your public profile photo, your responsiveness in replying to Tenants' queries, and any additional information you share with other Members. Your public Listing page may also include aggregated demand information (such as thenumber of page views over a period of time). Parts of your public Listing page may be displayed in other parts of the Platform to other Members and/or Third Party platforms for marketing purposes. The Platform may also display the Accommodation's approximate geographic location on a map, such that a user can see the general area of the Accommodation.
  • The Platform allows your public profile and public Listing pages to be included in search engines, in which case your public profile and public Listing pages will be indexed by search engines and may be published as search results. This option is enabled by default, and you may opt-out of this feature by changing your settings on the Platform. If you change your settings or the information on your public profile or public Listing pages, Third-Party search engines may not update their databases quickly or at all. We do not control the practices of Third-Party search engines, and they may use caches containing outdated information, including any information indexed by the search engine before you change your settings or the information on your public profile or public Listing pages.
  • When you submit a request to book an Accommodation, your full name, and the full name of any confirmed Tenants staying with you, and other Personal Information you agree to pass through to the Property Managers (means the Member who creates the listing; may also be referred to as the Landlord, Property Lister etc.) will become visible to the Property Managers of any Listing you Book or request to Book. We may also disclose parts of your public profile; other Member reviews of you; and any additional information you share with other Members. In addition, if you agree to be contacted by the Property Managers by phone before your request to Book is accepted, and the Property Managers decides to do so, eDormire will call your phone number first, before connecting you with the Property Managers. We will not share your phone number unless there is a confirmed booking; if there is a confirmed booking, your phone number will become visible to the Property Managers/Tenant, who may call you directly.
  • When your request to book an Accommodation is accepted by the Property Managers or when a Tenant books your Accommodation, we will disclose some of your Personal Information to the Property Managers and any confirmed Tenant(s). However, your billing and payout information will never be shared with another user.
  • When a Property Manager accepts your request to book an Accommodation, the Property Manager may elect to use Third-Party services available through the eDormire platform to assist with managing the Accommodation, such as cleaning services and lock providers. The Property Manager may use features on the eDormire platform to share information about the Tenant with that Third-Party service provider for the purposes of coordinating the stay or managing the Accommodation, including check-in and check-out dates, Tenant name, Tenant's phone number, and the Tenant's anonymized email address.
  • When a Tenant stays at your Accommodation or when you stay at a Property Manager's Accommodation, we may ask you to review the Tenant, Property Manager, or the Accommodation. If you choose to provide a review, your review may be public on the Platform. Likewise, another Member's review of you as a Tenant or Property Manager may be public on the Platform.
  • You may link your account on a Third-Party social networking site to your eDormire Account. We refer to a person's contacts on these Third-Party sites as "Friends". When you create this linkage:
    • some of the information you provide to us from the linking of your accounts may be published on your eDormire Account profile;
    • your activities on the Platform may be displayed to your Friends on the Platform and/or that Third-Party site;
    • a link to your public profile on that Third-Party social networking site may be included in your eDormire public profile;
    • other eDormire users may be able to see any common Friends that you may have with them, or that you are a Friend of their Friend if applicable;
    • other eDormire users may be able to see any schools, hometowns or other groups you have in common with them as listed on your linked social networking site(s);
    • the information you provide to us from the linking of your accounts may be stored, processed and transmitted for fraud prevention and risk assessment purposes; and
    • the publication and display of information that you provide to eDormire through this linkage is subject to your settings and authorizations on the Platform and the Third-Party site
  • We may distribute parts of the Platform (including your Listing) for display on sites operated by eDormire's business partners and Affiliates (means companies related by common ownership or control), using technologies such as HTML widgets. If and when your Listings are displayed on a partner's site, information from your public profile page may also be displayed.
  • We may also engage Third Parties to provide services to us, including but not limited to technology services and services to help verify your identification, to help match the photo on your ID to other photos of yourself you send to us, to conduct checks against databases such as but not limited to public government databases (where legally allowed), to otherwise assist us with fraud prevention and risk assessment, to assist us with customer service, to serve targeted ads, and to facilitate the payments or reimbursements you request (such as Concur and American Express). We may provide Personal Information about you to these Third Parties, or give them access to this Personal Information, for the limited purpose of allowing them to provide these services. For example, if we hire Third Parties, where permitted by applicable law, to conduct checks against databases such as but not limited to public government databases, we may provide your Personal Information, such as your full name and date of birth, to the Third Parties for the limited purpose of allowing them to conduct such checks, including background or registered sex offender checks, on our behalf. We will ensure that such Third Parties have contractual obligations to protect this Personal Information and to not use it for unrelated purposes.
  • For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate the Collection and Remittance of Taxes or Opt-in for Property Manager Remittance of Taxes as described in the "Taxes" section of the Terms of Service, Property Managers and Tenants expressly grant us permission, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or to their transactions, bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Property Manager or Tenant's name, listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes received by Property Managers from Tenants, or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.
  • You acknowledge, consent and agree that eDormire may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Collective Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to respond to claims asserted against eDormire; (b) to comply with legal process (for example, subpoenas and warrants), including legal process associated with national security and law enforcement; (c) to enforce and administer our agreements with users, such as the Terms of Service, the Payments Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, (d) for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, customer support, product development and de-bugging purposes; or (e) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of eDormire, its users or members of the public.
  • We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify users about law enforcement requests for their data unless:
    • providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law; or
    • we believe that providing notice would (a) be futile, (b) be ineffective, or (c) would create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or (d) create or increase a risk of fraud upon eDormire's property, its Members, the Platform, Application, or Services (collectively, "Risk Scenarios").
  • In instances where eDormire complies with legal requests for user data without notice to the user for the reasons described above, eDormire will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify that user about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no Risk Scenarios apply.
  • We may also publish, disclose and use Aggregated Information (means information about all of our users or specific groups or categories of users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and non-personal information for industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes.

Business transfers by eDormire

If eDormire undertakes or is involved in any merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of assets or bankruptcy or insolvency event, then we may sell, transfer or share some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information. In this event, we will notify you before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

How to access, change or delete your information, or cancel your eDormire account

You may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in your eDormire Account. If you would like to correct your information or cancel your eDormire Account entirely, you can do so by logging in to your eDormire Account.

Securing your personal information

We are continuously implementing and updating administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your Personal Information against unauthorised access, destruction or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of storing electronic information can be 100% secure.

They will have their own rules about the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information. We encourage you to read the terms of use and privacy policies of the other websites that you visit.

Some portions of the Platform implement Google Maps/Earth mapping services, including Google Maps API(s). Your use of Google Maps/Earth is subject to Google's terms of use (located at www.google.com/intl/en_us/help/terms_maps.html) and Google's privacy policy (located atwww.google.com/privacy.html), as may be amended by Google from time to time

Changes to this privacy policy

We may change how we collect and then use Personal Information at any time and without prior notice, at our sole discretion. We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you either by posting the changed Privacy Policy on the Platform or by sending an email to you. If we let you know of changes through an email communication, then the date on which we send the email will be deemed to be the date of your receipt of that email.

It's important that you review the changed Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to agree to the changed Privacy Policy, then we will not be able to continue providing the Platform and Services to you, and your only option will be to stop accessing the Platform and Services and deactivate your eDormire Account.

Cookie policy

eDormire uses "cookies" in conjunction with the Platform to obtain information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your device (e.g. your phone or your computer) for record-keeping purposes. For example, a cookie could allow the Platform to recognise your browser, while another could store your preferences and other information.

Your browser may allow you to set how it handles cookies, such as declining all cookies or prompting you to decide whether to accept each cookie. But please note that some parts of the Platform may not work as intended or may not work at all without cookies.

eDormireCookies and Third Party Cookies

eDormire may place our cookies on your device via the Platform. Accordingly, our Privacy Policy will apply to our treatment of the information we obtain via our cookies.

We may also allow our business partners to place cookies on your device. For example, we use Google Analytics for web analytics, and so Google may also set cookies on your device. As further explained below, Third Parties may also place cookies on your device for advertising purposes.

There are two types of cookies used on the Platform, namely "persistent cookies" and "session cookies".

Session cookies will normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies will remain on your device after you close your browser, and can be used again the next time you access the Platform.

Other technologies

The Platform may also use other technologies with similar functionality to cookies, such as web beacons and tracking URLs to obtain Log Data about users. We may also use web beacons and tracking URLs in our messages to you to determine whether you have opened a certain message or accessed a certain link.

Uses for eDormire cookies

eDormire uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a number of purposes, such as the following:

  • to enable, facilitate and streamline the functioning of the Platform across different webpages, devices and browser sessions
  • to simplify your access to and use of the Platform and make it more seamless
  • to monitor and analyse the performance, operation and effectiveness of the Platform, so that we can improve and optimise it
  • to show you content (which may include advertisements) that is more relevant to you
  • for fraud detection and prevention

Uses for Third-Party cookies

Our partners' cookies are intended to obtain information to help them provide services to eDormire. For example, Third Parties we engage to provide services to us may track your behaviour on our Platform to market and advertise eDormire listings or services to you on the Platform and Third-party websites, or to help us detect or prevent fraud or conduct risk assessments. Third Parties websites that use cookies and other tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertisements on our Platform and/or Third-Party websites may offer you a way to prevent such targeted advertisements by opting-out at the websites of industry groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance. You may also be able to control advertising cookies provided by publishers, for example, Google's Ad Preference Manager. Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still receive advertising on or about the Platform – it just will not be tailored to your interests.

In addition, Facebook places a cookie via the Platform that allows Facebook to obtain aggregated, non-Personal Information to optimise their services. For example, if a user clicks on an advertisement for the eDormire mobile app on Facebook and subsequently installs the app, this cookie will inform Facebook that a user (who is not personally identified) has installed the app after clicking on the advertisement. This cookie may also inform Facebook that a user is using the app, without identifying the specific actions taken by the user in the app.

Disabling Cookies

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies by visiting the Help portion of your browser's toolbar. If you choose to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customise, or use some of the interactive features of the Platform. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser will not remove flash cookies. To learn more about how to manage flash cookies, you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We can change this Cookie Policy at any time. If we make material changes to the Cookie Policy, we will let you know either by posting the changed Cookie Policy on the Platform or by sending you an email.

It's important that you review the changed Cookie Policy. If you do not wish to agree to the changed Cookie Policy, then we cannot continue to provide the Platform to you, and your only option is to stop accessing the Platform and Services and deactivate your eDormire Account.
