Effective May 24, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026
StayMetrics ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.staymetrics.app and the StayMetrics application (collectively, the "Service"), which provides analytics and performance insights for short-term rental hosts and property managers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. By accessing or using StayMetrics, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
a. Account Information
When you register for an account, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, password, and (optionally) profile details. If you sign in via a third-party provider (e.g., Google), we receive basic profile information authorized by that provider.
b. Third-Party Platform Data
StayMetrics integrates with third-party services to retrieve data necessary to provide our analytics features. When you connect an external account, we receive information you authorize that platform to share with us, which may include:
- Short-term rental platforms (e.g., Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com): listing details, reservation history, pricing, occupancy, guest reviews, payouts, and performance metrics.
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe): transaction identifiers, payment status, and limited billing metadata. We do not store full payment card numbers.
We only access data through official APIs or methods authorized by the third party, and only with your explicit consent.
c. Usage and Analytics Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including:
- Device information (browser type, operating system, device identifiers)
- IP address and approximate location
- Pages visited, features used, clickstream data, and session duration
- Referring URLs and timestamps
- Crash reports and diagnostic data
d. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to operate, secure, and improve the Service. Categories include:
- Essential cookies: required for authentication, security, and core functionality.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how the Service is used (e.g., Google Analytics or similar).
- Preference cookies: remember your settings and preferences.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Service functionality.
e. Communications
If you contact us via email, support form, or social media, we may retain the content of your communication and any information you provide.

StayMetrics operates globally. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable mechanisms to protect your data during international transfers.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion of your account at any time as described in Section 8.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.
