StayHub Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 September 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how StayHub ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal data when you use the StayHub platform and related services.

1. Scope​

This policy applies to: (a) StayHub web and mobile interfaces; (b) APIs and administrative dashboards; (c) operational modules including check‑in/out, room management, maintenance, payment, finance, survey, HR, account and analytics features.

2. Data We Collect​

CategoryExamplesPurpose
IdentityName, phone, email, government ID (where required by law)Booking, legal compliance, user identification
Booking & StayReservation details, room number, check‑in/out timestamps, door access logsAutomate & audit stay operations
Device & TechnicalIP, device model, OS, browser/app version, crash reportsSecurity, diagnostics, performance
Usage & InteractionFeature usage events, notification tokens, survey responsesService improvement, analytics
Staff OperationalRole, shift / location assignment, action logsAccess control, audit, HR oversight

Sensitive data (e.g. government ID) is only collected where mandated (local hospitality / KYC laws) and retained only for the legally required duration.

3. Sources of Data​

  • Directly from users (forms, check‑in, account setup)
  • Automatically via application telemetry & Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics
  • Payment gateway notifications
  • Operational staff inputs (room status, maintenance tickets)
  • Performance of contract (booking, access control)
  • Legitimate interests (security monitoring, service improvement)
  • Legal obligation (record retention, tax invoicing)
  • Consent (optional surveys, marketing notifications, push messaging)

5. How We Use Data​

  • Process reservations, digital self check‑in, contract acknowledgment, and door code provisioning
  • Manage room lifecycle (booked / vacant / cleaning / maintenance)
  • Generate accurate invoices; reconcile payments (cash, card, transfer)
  • Provide real‑time dashboards (occupancy, revenue forecasting: daily/monthly/quarterly/yearly)
  • Manage multi‑property operations & staff role‑based access
  • Monitor maintenance & housekeeping workflows
  • Send transactional & operational push notifications (check‑in reminders, housekeeping updates)
  • Improve reliability via analytics & crash diagnostics
  • Security auditing and fraud prevention

6. Data Minimization & Retention​

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law (e.g. fiscal retention periods). Operational logs are routinely cycled and aggregated. Access tokens & session data follow strict TTL policies.

7. Infrastructure & Security​

  • Region: Microsoft Azure Cloud (Singapore) with high security standards
  • Multi‑tenancy: Fine‑grained access control; logically isolated dedicated storage per tenant
  • Encryption: In transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (platform managed encryption)
  • Identity & Auth: Google Firebase Authentication (hashed credentials / OAuth providers)
  • Monitoring: Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics; security metrics & anomaly detection
  • Least privilege IAM & role‑scoped API keys
  • Hardening: Regular patching, secret rotation, static & dependency scanning
  • Backups: Encrypted, periodic, tested for restorability
  • Audit: Critical actions (room status change, financial ops, door code generation) are logged

8. Data Sharing & Processors​

We do NOT sell personal data. We use service providers strictly under data processing agreements:

  • Google Firebase (Auth, Analytics, Crashlytics, FCM Push)
  • Cloud infrastructure (Azure) for hosting & storage
  • Payment processors / banks (for transaction settlement)
  • Communication / notification gateways (where regionally required)

Disclosures may occur to competent authorities where legally compelled or necessary to protect rights, safety, or investigate misuse.

9. International Transfers​

Primary storage resides in Azure Singapore. Where sub‑processors store or route data across regions, safeguards (e.g. SCCs, contractual controls) are applied.

10. Your Rights (subject to jurisdiction)​

  • Access & portability
  • Rectification
  • Erasure (where no overriding legal basis)
  • Restriction & objection to certain processing
  • Withdraw consent (surveys / marketing / push categories)
  • Complaint to a supervisory authority

Requests: Contact us at info@appsindie.com (identity verification may be required).

11. Cookies & Similar Technologies​

We may use local storage / cookies / tokens for session continuity and security. Analytics SDK event collection is pseudonymized. You may adjust notification & analytics consent in account settings (where feature supported).

12. Children​

StayHub is not directed to children under the age required by local guest registration law. Accounts must be created by adults or authorized representatives.

13. Security Incident Response​

We maintain an incident response plan including triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and notification (where legally required) within defined SLA windows.

14. Changes​

Material updates will be notified via in‑app notice or email. Revision date will update above.
