This policy explains what information we collect when you visit thefifthhighlands.com or contact us directly, how we use it, and what choices you have. We keep it simple because we run a small vacation rental, not a data company.
1. What We Collect
We only collect information you give us voluntarily. Specifically:
We do not run analytics tools, ad trackers, or pixel tracking on this website. We do not collect payment information directly. Booking payments are processed through the platform you book on (Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com), and their privacy policies govern that data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your contact information only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to a mailing list, sell your information, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Booking Platforms
If you book through Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com, those platforms collect and process your personal data under their own privacy policies. We receive only what they share with us as the host (typically your name, booking dates, and contact information) and use it solely to manage your stay.
4. Data Retention
We keep contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond and follow up. If you would like us to delete your information, just email us and we will do so promptly.
5. Your Rights
You can ask us at any time to:
6. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. We will not change how we use existing data without notice.
