MyHotel AI

Summary of our Privacy Policy

MyHotel AI has never sold your information to someone else for advertising, or made money by showing you other people's ads, and we never will. This has been our approach since we start, and we remain committed to it. This policy tells you what information we collect from you, what we do with it, who can access it, and what you can do about it.

Consensual & restricted usage of User’s personal images:

The users of MyHotel AI may choose to upload their photo to their profile or refrain from the act as uploading their personal images is a matter of personal discretion and hence has not been made mandatory according to the privacy policy of MyHotel AI.

The uploaded images of the users are utilized in the process of ticket creation and allocation within the purview of the ticket management module of MyHotel AI.

We hereby declare that personal images of the users will not be used for purposes other than the ones mentioned above.

During the ticket creation process, the images of the issue/problem/grievances are expected to be uploaded and not the personal images of the users or the guests. This feature is enabled in MyHotel AI to support the reported issue with an additional audio or video or image file. This feature does not intend to violate the privacy of the individual users of the application.

MyHotel AI’s Privacy Commitment

MyHotel AI ask for only the least amount of information necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for doing business, or for the specific transaction at hand. We let customers know the information we have on them and allow them to opt out of specific engagements. But, by far, our biggest commitment is that we do not make a single dollar from advertising revenue—never have, never will—even from the free editions of our products. This means we avoid the fundamental conflict of interest between gathering customer information and fueling advertising revenue, and the unavoidable compromises in customer privacy that it brings. The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information we gather, how we will use it, and how we will not.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all MyHotel AI websites that link to it. It also applies to the products and services provided by MyHotel AI through these websites, our mobile applications, and applications posted by MyHotel AI on MyHotel AI’s online marketplace and in other third-party online marketplaces.

This Privacy Policy is divided into three parts:

Part I – Information MyHotel AI collects and control

This part deals with how MyHotel AI collects and uses information about website visitors, potential customers, users of MyHotel AI's products and services, and others who contact MyHotel AI through forms or email addresses published on or linked to our websites.

Part II – Information that MyHotel AI processes on your behalf

This part deals with how MyHotel AI handles data that you entrust to MyHotel AI when you use our products and services, or when you share any personal or confidential information with us while requesting customer support.

Part III – General

This part deals with topics that are relevant to both Parts I and II, and other general topics such as MyHotel AI's security commitments and how we will inform you when we change this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy statement is made by the MyHotel AI (collectively, "MyHotel AI", "we", "us" or "our").

Details: Part I – Information MyHotel AI collects and controls

We only collect the information that we need. Some of that is information that you actively give us when you sign up for an account, register for an event, ask for customer support, or buy something from us. We store your name and contact information, but we don't store credit card numbers

When you visit one of our websites or use our software, we automatically log some basic information like how you got to the site, where you navigated within it, and what features and settings you use. We use this information to improve our websites and services and to drive new product development.

Sometimes we receive information indirectly. If you ask about our products through one of our referral programs or reselling partners or sign in to one of our products through an authentication service provider like LinkedIn or Google, they'll pass on your contact information to us. We'll use that information to complete the request that you made. If you engage with our brand on social media (for instance, liking, commenting, retweeting, mentioning, or following us), we'll have access to your interactions and profile information. We'll still have that information even if you later remove it from the social media site.

If you use a MyHotel AI mobile app and give the app access to your contacts and photo library, you are entrusting data to us. The data you entrust to us for processing is called service data.

You own your service data. We protect it, limit access to it, and only process it according to your instructions. You may access it, share it through third-party integrations, and request that we export or delete it.

We hold the data in your account as long as you choose to use MyHotel AI Services. After you terminate your account, your data will be automatically deleted from our active database within 6 months and from our backups within 3 months after that.

Information entrusted to MyHotel AI and purpose

Information provided in connection with services: You may entrust information that you or your organization (“you”) control, to MyHotel AI in connection with use of our services or for requesting technical support for our products. This includes information regarding your customers and your employees (if you are a controller) or data that you hold and use on behalf of another person for a specific purpose, such as a customer to whom you provide services (if you are a processor). The data may either be stored on our servers when you use our services or transferred or shared to us as part of a request for technical support or other services.

Information from mobile devices: When you elect to allow it, some of our mobile applications have access to the camera, call history, contact information, photo library, and other information stored on your mobile device. Our applications require such access to provide their services. Similarly, when you elect to provide access, location-based information is also collected for purposes including, but not limited to, locating nearby contacts or setting location-based reminders. This information will be exclusively shared with our mapping providers and will be used only for mapping user locations. You may disable the mobile applications' access to this information at any time by editing the settings on your mobile device. The data stored on your mobile device and their location information to which the mobile applications have access will be used in the context of the mobile application and transferred to and associated with your account in the corresponding services (in which case the data will be stored on our servers) or products (in which case the data will remain with you unless you share it with us).
