Privacy Policy

Information we collect

StayForge is a directory service. When you browse our website, we collect only the minimum information necessary to provide the service:

• Search queries and filter selections to display relevant results
• Approximate geolocation (only when you choose "Near me") to sort properties by distance
• Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, and pages visited

What we don't collect

StayForge does not process payments, create user accounts, or store personal profiles. When you click "Book now" on a listing, you are redirected to the property's own booking system. Any information you provide during the booking process is governed by that property's privacy policy.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies required for the website to function. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

Data retention

Server logs are retained for 30 days for security and operational purposes, then automatically deleted. Geolocation data is used only for the duration of your search session and is not stored.
