This Privacy Policy explains how Euro Stay Finder (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website, and the rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national law.
1. Who we are
Euro Stay Finder is a curated marketplace for countryside stays across Europe, operated by Galit and Danny Navon, who are the data controllers responsible for your personal data. You can reach us at danny@bestsite.co.il.
2. What data we collect
- Account data — when you register, your name, email address, and login details (managed through our platform provider, Wix Members).
- Inquiry data — when you contact a property owner or us, your name, email, message, and any travel dates or details you provide.
- Wishlist data — the properties you save to your account.
- Owner listing data — if you list a property, the listing details and contact information you submit.
- Technical data — IP address, device and browser type, and usage information collected through cookies and similar technologies.
3. How we use your data and our legal bases
- To provide the service (creating your account, showing listings, saving wishlists) — performance of a contract.
- To handle inquiries and connect you with property owners — performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in operating the marketplace.
- To secure the site and prevent fraud or abuse — our legitimate interests.
- To send service-related emails (e.g. confirmations, review notifications) — performance of a contract or legitimate interest.
- For optional marketing, where applicable — your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
- To comply with legal obligations — compliance with the law.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to run the site (for example, to keep you logged in and to secure forms). Where we use any non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may affect how the site works.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:
- Service providers (processors) who help us run the site — including Wix (hosting, content, member accounts, and infrastructure), Resend (transactional email), and Google Maps (map display).
- Property owners — when you send an inquiry, the relevant owner receives the contact details and message you provide so they can respond.
- Authorities or advisors — where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
6. International transfers
Some of our providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
7. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law. Account data is kept while your account is active; inquiry and listing data is kept for as long as needed to provide and support the service.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have your data erased in certain circumstances;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent; and
- lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at danny@bestsite.co.il.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
Our service is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
