The Room Hunt (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. While our primary focus is on providing expert luxury stays and VIP experiences content, we recognize the importance of robust data protection for our global audience.

1. What is GDPR?

The GDPR is a regulation that standardizes data protection law across all 27 EU countries and the European Economic Area (EEA). It imposes strict rules on controlling and processing personally identifiable information (PII) and grants individuals a set of fundamental rights over their data.

2. Data We Process and Legal Basis

If we rely on your consent to process your data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

4. Data Transfers Outside the EEA

The Room Hunt is operated globally. Therefore, your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this GDPR Policy.
