Privacy Policy

StartBooker helps you find and compare accommodation, view hotel information, and continue to booking checkout.

We aim to explain clearly what data may be used while the platform works, why it is needed, and how users can manage their settings.

How StartBooker works

On StartBooker, you can find a country, city, or specific hotel, view available information, and continue to check current availability and price.

The booking is completed with our partner Nuitée Travel Limited through LiteAPI technology.

During checkout, Nuitée checks current availability, shows the final price and conditions, and processes the data needed for payment, booking confirmation, and later support.

Before confirming, the user sees the full cost, cancellation conditions, and the property’s rules. The terms and privacy information shown during checkout with Nuitée apply to the booking.

Data needed for StartBooker to work

When using the platform, limited technical data may be processed automatically, including:

  • browser and device type;
  • approximate technical request parameters;
  • data needed for site security and stable operation;
  • information about errors and page performance.

This data helps display the site correctly, maintain its security, find technical issues, and improve how the platform works.

Search and booking checkout

To show current accommodation options, availability, and prices, the following may be sent to LiteAPI / Nuitée:

  • selected destination or hotel;
  • check-in and check-out dates;
  • number of guests and rooms;
  • selected language and currency;
  • technical parameters needed to complete the request.

If the user continues to checkout, Nuitée may request the data needed to create and confirm the booking, process payment, and provide support.

StartBooker does not use names, contact details, payment details, or booking details as analytics event parameters.

Cookies and local settings

StartBooker uses necessary cookies and browser local storage for:

  • saving the selected language;
  • operating the interface;
  • saving privacy settings;
  • security;
  • stable operation of core functions.

Necessary cookies are always enabled because some platform functions may not work correctly without them.

The choice about analytics cookies is saved for 180 days. It can be changed at any time using the “Cookie settings” button in the site footer.

Analytics

Analytics technologies are used only after the user gives consent.

Analytics helps us understand which pages and features are useful, where users have difficulties, and how search and booking checkout can be improved.

We do not send or store names, email addresses, payment details, or booking data entered by the user in analytics events.

Opting out of analytics

The user can choose “Necessary only”. In that case, analytics storage remains disabled.

The choice can be changed at any time using the “Cookie settings” button in the StartBooker footer.

Data storage

Technical data is kept only for the time needed for operation, security, problem diagnosis, and compliance with legal obligations.

Analytics data retention periods depend on the settings of the relevant analytics service.

Data related to a specific booking is processed and stored by Nuitée according to the terms and policy shown to the user during checkout.

Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the platform and the information processed while it operates.

At the same time, no online service can guarantee absolute protection during data transmission or storage.

User choices and rights

The user can:

  • allow or reject analytics cookies;
  • change the choice through “Cookie settings”;
  • clear cookies in browser settings;

Questions directly related to a completed booking, payment, cancellation, or refund are handled according to the contacts and terms shown during checkout with Nuitée.

Policy updates

We may update this policy when StartBooker features, the booking process, analytics tools, or legal requirements change.
