Stay Booked (“the App,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a modern booking management application built with Flutter, designed to help Airbnb hosts manage their bookings using calendar visualization and local database storage.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use Stay Booked. By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

1. Information We Collect

Stay Booked is designed primarily for local data storage, meaning most of your data remains on your device. However, the App may collect or process the following categories of information:

a) Information You Provide

• Booking details: Guest name, check-in/check-out dates, booking notes, contact details, and other relevant booking-related information.
  
  

• Property details: Property name, address, and capacity details.
  
  

• User account preferences: Custom settings, preferences, and categories for managing bookings.
  
  

b) Automatically Collected Information

• Device Information: Device model, operating system, and unique identifiers (for performance monitoring and troubleshooting).
  
  

• Usage Data: Features used, frequency of use, and app interactions (for app improvement).
  
  

c) Optional Cloud/Sync Services (if enabled in future updates)

If the App introduces synchronization features, data may be stored securely on third-party servers (e.g., Firebase, iCloud, Google Drive). This will be optional and subject to separate consent.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

1. Enable you to manage bookings, reservations, and calendar schedules.
   
   

2. Store your data securely on your device for easy offline access.
   
   

3. Improve app performance, features, and user experience.
   
   

4. Provide customer support and resolve technical issues.
   
   

5. Comply with legal obligations if required.
   
   

3. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: All booking data is stored locally on your device by default. This ensures your sensitive data (guest details, booking notes, etc.) is not transmitted to external servers unless you enable future sync features.
  
  

• Encryption: We use modern Flutter and database security practices to protect your data from unauthorized access.
  
  

• User Control: You may export or delete your data at any time through the App settings.
  
  

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. Your information will only be shared in the following limited cases:

• Service Providers: If cloud backup or third-party services are integrated, only the necessary data will be processed in compliance with their privacy terms.
  
  

• Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or government request.
  
  

• Business Transfers: In case of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, you will be notified and given choices about your data.
  
  

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  
  

• Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
  
  

• Deletion: Delete your booking and personal data at any time from within the App.
  
  

• Export: Export your booking records for backup or transfer.
  
  

• Withdrawal of Consent: If we add optional features requiring consent (e.g., cloud storage), you may withdraw your consent at any time.
  
  

6. Data Retention

• Data is stored on your device until you delete it manually.
  
  

• If optional cloud sync is enabled in the future, data will be retained for as long as your account remains active, unless you delete it.
  
  

7. Children’s Privacy

Stay Booked is not intended for use by children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that data from a child under 16 has been inadvertently collected, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Third-Party Services

If Stay Booked integrates third-party tools (e.g., analytics, cloud storage), those services may collect data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties.

9. International Users

If you use Stay Booked outside of your home country, please note that data may be processed and stored in different regions depending on your device and chosen backup services.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected with a “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will be communicated through the App or via email (if applicable).
