This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information of visitors to our website maldiveguesthouse.com (the "Site"). By using our Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. What Information We Collect

When you contact us through our Site, we may collect the following personal information:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

We only collect the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. We do not require you to submit more information than is necessary to respond to your request.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect your personal information through the contact and inquiry forms available on our Site. When you fill out and submit one of these forms, the information you enter is sent directly to us.

We do not currently collect personal information through any other means (e.g., automatically, or from third parties), unless separately disclosed to you at the time of collection.

3. Why We Collect This Information

We collect and use your personal information solely to respond to the inquiries and messages you submit through our forms — for example, to answer your questions, provide information about our services, or process your requests.

We do not use your personal information for any purpose unrelated to responding to your inquiry, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Legal basis for processing: where applicable (e.g., under the EU General Data Protection Regulation), we process your data based on your consent, given when you voluntarily submit a form, and/or our legitimate interest in responding to communications directed to us.

4. Where Your Data Is Stored

Our Site is built and hosted using Wix. According to Wix, personal data collected through the Site may be stored on secure servers protected by firewalls and other industry-standard security measures.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. How We Communicate With You

We may contact visitors who submit a form by email, for operational purposes directly related to your inquiry — such as replying to your message, providing requested information, or following up on a request.

We do not use your contact information to send unsolicited marketing communications unless you have separately opted in to receive them.

6. Your Rights and How to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time. If you have submitted a form and wish to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data, or if you would like to exercise any other rights regarding your data, you may do so by writing to us at:

📧 info@maldiveguesthouse.com
 

We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other applicable data protection laws.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information collected through our forms only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for any legitimate follow-up purposes, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

8. Third-Party Service Providers

Our Site is hosted on the Wix platform, which acts as a technical service provider and may process personal data on our behalf in order to operate the Site and store submitted form data. Wix's own privacy and security practices apply to the hosting and storage of this data.

9. Cookies and Advertising

Our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand how visitors use our Site, and support our online advertising efforts.

Types of cookies we may use:

• Essential/functional cookies — set by Wix to enable core Site features (e.g., page navigation, form submission).

• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our Site, so we can improve its content and performance.

• Advertising cookies (Google Ads) — if we run advertising campaigns (e.g., through Google Ads), Google and its partners may place cookies on your device to:

  • measure the performance of our ads (conversion tracking);

  • show you relevant ads based on your previous visits to our Site (remarketing/retargeting) as you browse other websites.

These advertising cookies may collect information such as your browsing behavior on our Site and your IP address, but they do not directly identify you by name unless you have provided that information to us separately (e.g., through a contact form).

Managing your cookie preferences:

• When you first visit our Site, you may be shown a cookie consent banner (provided by Wix) where you can accept or manage your cookie preferences.

• You can also control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

• You can opt out of Google's use of advertising cookies by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

By continuing to browse our Site after being presented with the cookie banner (where applicable), you consent to our use of cookies as described in this section, unless you have chosen to opt out.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
