# Privacy policy, Merakii Seaview Escape

Last updated 24 August 2026.

This policy covers personal data collected by Merakii Seaview Escape, 51 Nst
Piscaderaweg, Willemstad, Curaçao, through this website and through direct
reservations. Requests about your data go to info@merakiicuracao.com.

## What we collect

Browsing this site needs no account, and no page asks you to submit personal
details in order to read it. When you contact us by email, phone, or WhatsApp we
hold what you send: typically name, contact details, travel dates, and the message
itself. When you reserve, our booking system collects what is needed to hold and
honour the stay: guest name, contact details, arrival and departure dates, party
size, payment authorisation, and any requests you add.

## Why we use it

To answer you, to make and manage the booking, to meet accommodation
record-keeping and tax obligations, and to handle payments and disputes.
Aggregated website statistics tell us which pages and rooms people look at so we
can improve the site. We do not sell personal data, and this site runs no
advertising or remarketing trackers.

## Processors

- Cloudbeds: booking engine and property management system, processes reservations
  and payment authorisations.
- Google Analytics 4: aggregated website usage statistics, using cookies and
  similar identifiers.
- Vercel: hosting, keeps short-lived technical request logs including IP addresses.
- Google Workspace: email correspondence.

These providers act on our instructions under their own published terms.

## Cookies

Google Analytics cookies count visits and measure which pages and booking links
are used. The reporting we see is aggregate, and it is not used to build
advertising profiles. Blocking these cookies in your browser or with a content
blocker leaves the site fully usable; nothing here requires cookies to read.

## Retention

Reservation records are kept as long as accommodation, accounting, and tax rules
require, then deleted. Enquiries that do not become bookings are kept only while we
may still need to answer or refer back to them. Analytics data follows the
retention period configured in Google Analytics.

## Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct
it, or ask us to delete it where we are not required to keep it. Email
info@merakiicuracao.com. If you are contacting us from the European Union or the
Netherlands, say so and we will handle the request under the rules that apply to
you.

## Changes

If we change how we handle personal data we will update this page and the date at
the top of it.
