This policy applies to browsing our marketing website (marketing pages, blog, pricing, legal pages) as well as contact or registration forms we provide.

Use of the AroundAStay platform as a logged-in customer may be subject to additional terms set out in our terms of use.

Depending on how you use the site, we may process the following categories of data:

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our processing is based on the following legal grounds:

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary for the site to function (security, language memory). Others, subject to your consent, are used for audience measurement or advertising.

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we collect your consent through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (Google Funding Choices), compliant with the IAB TCF framework.

You can change your preferences at any time via the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the footer, or consult our cookie policy for more details.

Certain pages on our site, including the blog, may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.

Without your consent for advertising cookies, only non-personalized ads may be displayed, or no ads depending on your choice and applicable regulations.

Browsing data and advertising cookies are retained according to durations set by our providers and applicable regulations, generally between a few months and 13 months depending on the tracker type.

Some of our providers, including Google, may process data outside the European Union. In such cases, appropriate safeguards are in place (EU Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent measures) in accordance with the GDPR.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or unauthorized access.

No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to maintain a level of protection appropriate to the risks.

Our services are not intended for persons under 16 years of age. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
