1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Boonstay Vacation Homes Rental LLC ("Boonstay Vacation Homes", "we", "us", or "our") handles personal data collected through our website and services.

4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data where it is necessary to perform our contract with you (for example, to complete a booking), to comply with a legal obligation, for our legitimate business interests, or on the basis of your consent. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Some of our service providers may process data outside the United Arab Emirates. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection in line with applicable law.
8. Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
9. Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These include secure transmission, access controls, and the use of reputable payment providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
