Banff Rooms collects only what it needs to run a housing board. We don't sell your information, show ads or use it for marketing.

Who we are

Banff Rooms is a free, non-commercial project run by Oscar Irvine, who is responsible for your information. For anything about your data, email hello@banffrooms.net.

What we collect

We use this to run the site: showing your posts, matching people, delivering messages, keeping the board safe and dealing with reports. Under UK data protection law, we rely on this being needed to provide the service you signed up for, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the board safe and free of scams.

Who else handles it

We use a few trusted services to run the site. They process data for us and aren't allowed to use it for their own purposes.

Because our database is in Ireland and some of these services are based in, or process data in, the United States, your information is stored and handled outside Canada. We only use providers that protect it under their own privacy commitments. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to deal with fraud or a safety risk.

How long we keep it

Cookies and storage

Banff Rooms doesn't use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. Your browser stores a few small things so the site works:

You can clear these at any time in your browser settings. Clearing them signs you out.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. You can edit or delete your listings and hide your profile at any time from your account page. To delete your account and everything linked to it, email hello@banffrooms.net from the address you signed up with. More on deleting your data.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please email us first. You can also complain to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (oipc.ab.ca) or the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Age

Banff Rooms is for people aged 19 and over. If we learn that someone younger has an account, we'll delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and for significant changes we'll show a notice on the site.
