We strive to be transparent about our data handling practices and to comply with all applicable privacy regulations, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
Information We Collect
We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services. The information we collect can be broadly categorized as follows:

- Booking and Usage Data: This encompasses details related to your studio rentals, including reservation dates, times, studio preferences, duration of use, and any specific requirements you may have communicated to us. We also collect data on how you interact with our website and services, such as pages visited, features used, and booking history.
- Payment Information: When you make a booking, we collect necessary payment details, such as credit card information or other payment methods. This information is processed securely through trusted third-party payment gateways and is not stored on our servers beyond what is required for transaction processing.

This information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and for analytical purposes.
We collect this information through several methods, including direct interactions (e.g., when you fill out a form), automated technologies (e.g., cookies and web beacons), and potentially from third-party sources if you link our services with other platforms.

- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). This may be necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a legal obligation.
- In Business Transfers: If Studio Snap Rentals is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
