Location

GuestHug uses Guest geolocation data to provide Hosts and Guests with remote check-in and check-out features. Guests can automatically check-in and out of the Host's property when they are within the geofence radius.

The feature allows:

• Hosts to receive automatic push notifications signalling that the guest has safely arrived at the property (within the defined geofence radius)
• GuestHug to improve our services, including guest navigation and check-in / out actions. Location based data is only collected during a limited period of time during specified check-in and check-out windows. The data collected:
• Is only used in connection with Guest check-in and check-outs and is not used for any other purpose
• Is not stored by GuestHug
• Is not provided to any third parties Location based services need to be positively enabled by Guests and Hosts during sign-up to the App and can be:
• Disabled by Hosts (by deselecting the Auto check-in feature)
• Opted out of by both Hosts and Guests (by not "Enabling Location" when signing into the GuestHug App)
