Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. You can review and revise your profile information at any time.

If you submit a Listing, we may also display the geographical location of your Accommodation in the form of a map so that potential Guests can see the general area and neighbourhood of the Accommodation. Note that Users will never have access to your billing information.
