Except for information collected by Third Party Services (as described in our Terms and Cookie Policy), and the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we do not share any information you provide us with any third parties unless we have your explicit permission.

3.2 Sharing between Users.

To help facilitate bookings or other interactions between Users, we may need to share certain information, including personal information, with Hosts, as it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between you and us, as follows:   

  • When you as a Guest submit a booking request, certain information about you is shared with the Host (and Host Agent, if applicable), including your name, your cancellation history, and other information you agree to share. When your booking is confirmed, we will disclose additional information to assist with coordinating the trip, like your email address.

3.3 Reviews, Listings, and other Public Information.

The SRA Platform lets you publish information, including personal information, that is visible to the general public. For example:

  • Listing pages are publicly visible and include information such as the Accommodation or Experience’s precise location (where you have provided your consent), Listing description, photographs, and any additional information you choose to share.
  • After completing a booking, Guests may write Reviews and rate Listings. Reviews and Ratings are published on SRA Platform Listing pages.
  • If you submit content in a community or discussion forum, blog or social media post, or use a similar feature on the SRA Platform, that content is publicly visible.  

Information you share publicly on the SRA Platform may be indexed through third party search engines. We do not control the practices of third party search engines, and they may use caches containing your outdated information.

3.4 Compliance with Law, Responding to Legal Requests, Preventing Harm and Protection of our Rights.

The Association and Association Payments may disclose your information, including personal information, to courts, law enforcement or governmental authorities, or authorized third parties, if and to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by law or if such disclosure is reasonably necessary: (i) comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with legal process and to respond to claims asserted against Association, (iii) to respond to verified requests relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal liability, (iv) to enforce and administer our Terms of Service, the Payment Terms or other agreements with Users, or (v) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Association, its employees, its Users, or members of the public.

Where appropriate, we may notify Users about legal requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon Association’s property, its Users and the SRA Platform. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that Member about the request after the fact where appropriate and where we determine in good faith that we are no longer prevented from doing so.

3.5 Service Providers.

The Association and Association Payments may use a variety of third party service providers to help us provide services related to the SRA Platform and the Payment Services. Service providers may be located inside or outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

For example, service providers may help us: (i) perform product development, maintenance and debugging, (ii) allow the provision of the Association Services through third party platforms and software tools (e.g. through the integration with our APIs), or (iii) provide customer service, or payments services. These providers have limited access to your information to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are contractually bound to protect and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed and consistent with this Privacy Policy.

The Association and the Association Payments will need to share your information, including personal information, in order to ensure the adequate performance of our contract with you.

Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by the Association you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to the Association specifying which consent you are withdrawing.

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require Association and Association Payments not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing Association and/or Association Payments will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where your personal information is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may, at any time ask Association to cease processing your data for these direct marketing purposes by sending an e-mail to this email address, or by a message sent via the SRA Platform contact page.
