Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about the personal information we collect from you and how we use it. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our site so you should check the “last modified” date of the Privacy Policy periodically. This Privacy Policy was last modified on: October 8th, 2019. 

If you do not agree to any part of this Privacy Policy, then we cannot provide the Services to you, and you should stop accessing the Services and deactivate your account.

Any definition of a term that does not appear in this Privacy Policy (such as “Listing”, “Space”, “Content”, “Services” etc.) shall be given its definition as outlined in our Terms of Service (http://www.spacefy.it/terms). 

What personal information do we collect from users directly and how do we use it?

You can register for a Spacefy account using either your account for a social networking service (“SNS”) we support (e.g. Facebook) or directly through the Site using your email address. 

If registering using your SNS account, you allow Spacefy to access your SNS account information for the purposes of creating a Spacefy account and collect the following information: first and last name, email, and, if provided on your SNS account, phone number. 

If registering using your email address, we require: (i) your email address, and (ii) first and last name, and (iii) your password. Providing your tax or VAT number is optional. You will not receive marketing communications unless you consent on registration. 

We do not collect information from you when you request information from Spacefy or about the Services. You can comment on our blog postings using Facebook’s commenting platform, but we do not collect any information from you. 

We use the information you provide at registration to communicate with you regarding and to administer the Services, including, without limitation, listing or booking a space, allowing users to communicate with other users, and reviewing a Space or Space Owner. Except the information a Space Owner provides when creating a Listing (see below), Spacefy will not disclose any of the contact information (including your first and last name) to other users. 

What information do we collect about your Space?

When a Space Owner lists a Space, you are required to specify: 

• space type (e.g. yoga studio, dance studio, music recording studio, etc.),
• space settings,
• the name of the Space,
• a description of the Space,
• any rules you have about the Space,
• amenities and features of the Space,
• the address,
• the Space Booking Fee,
• whether the Space is available on an hourly or daily basis,
• the minimum and maximum rental period,
• your cancellation policy, and
• whether Space Visits are available. 

You also have the ability to upload photos and videos of your Space for the Listing. 

This information will be used to create the Listing and will be provided to potential End Users. When a Listing is viewed by the public, users will be able see a Space Owner’s first and last name and a brief summary about the Space Owner which is created by the Space Owner and users.

What information do we automatically collect from users and how do we use it?
