This privacy policy describes how Niu Beach Hale Ohana LLC processes information when you browse our website, enquire about our services, or stay at any of our beach houses. Our services and this website are developed and operated by the developer Niubeach on behalf of our company. By using our website or booking a stay, you agree to the practices described in this document. Please read it carefully and feel free to contact us with any questions.

1. Introduction

Niu Beach Hale Ohana LLC respects the privacy of every guest, owner, and visitor who comes to us through our website at www.niubeach.autos. This policy explains what personal information we may collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have over your data. We believe that a good beach holiday begins with trust, and that trust extends to how we handle the details you share with us.

Our services and this website are developed and operated by the developer Niubeach, working on our behalf to build and maintain the digital experience you see today. Niubeach helps us keep our website secure, up to date, and easy for you to use. Where we refer to we, us, or our in this policy, we mean Niu Beach Hale Ohana LLC, a company with its registered office at 1422 Sycamore Dr, Santa Clara - 84765-1244, United States (US).

This policy applies to information collected through this website, through email and telephone enquiry, through booking forms, and through your use of any of our beach house stays and related services. It does not apply to any third-party services that we may link to, which have their own privacy policies that you should review separately.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is necessary to respond to your enquiry, process your booking, and provide you with a comfortable and safe stay. The categories of information we may collect include the items listed below.

Contact and Identity Information

When you contact us through our website form, by email, or by telephone, we collect your name, your email address, your telephone number, and any message you choose to send us. If you proceed with a booking, we may also ask for your postal address and the address of the property you are booking, if applicable.

Booking and Stay Information

For confirmed bookings we collect your arrival and departure dates, the number of guests in your party, your preferences for sleeping arrangements, and any accessibility or dietary needs you share with us. We also keep a record of your booking history so that we can recognise returning guests and offer the warm welcome they deserve.

Payment Information

If you pay for a stay directly through us, payment details are collected and processed by our trusted payment providers. We do not store your full card number on our own systems. The payment provider keeps only the details needed to complete your transaction and to comply with its own legal obligations.

Technical and Usage Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect limited technical information to help our site run smoothly. This includes your internet protocol address, the type of browser and device you use, pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the website that referred you to us. This information is gathered through cookies and server logs as described later in this policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for clear and limited purposes that help us serve you better. The main uses of your information are described below.

  • To answer your questions, respond to your enquiries, and help you plan your stay.
  • To manage bookings, confirmations, payments, cancellations, and changes to reservations.
  • To prepare your beach house for arrival, including configuring sleeping arrangements and coordinating with our on-site care team.
  • To send you important service messages about your stay, such as arrival instructions and maintenance notices.
  • To send marketing communications only if you have asked to receive them, and always with a simple way to opt out.
  • To improve our website, our homes, and the quality of our hospitality by understanding how guests use our services.
  • To comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and to protect the safety and rights of our guests and staff.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We never use your data for purposes that are not explained in this policy, unless we first explain the new use and, where required by law, obtain your consent.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses small data files called cookies to remember your preferences and to understand how visitors use the site. Some cookies are essential because they allow the site to function correctly, such as remembering your choices when you move between pages. Other cookies help us measure which pages are popular so we can improve the experience for everyone.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: required for the basic operation of the website and to keep your session secure. These are usually set automatically.
  • Performance cookies: help us count visits and see how visitors move through the site so we learn which content is useful.
  • Functional cookies: remember choices you make, such as your language preference or previously viewed properties.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, where you may block or delete cookies at any time. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from working properly. Because our site is designed to be simple and privacy-respecting, we keep the number of cookies we use to a minimum.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share your information only in the limited circumstances described below, and always under an obligation to keep your data safe.

  • Service providers: we work with trusted partners who help us run our business, including payment processors, booking platforms, our website developers including Niubeach, and cleaning and maintenance teams. These partners receive only the information they need to provide their service and are not allowed to use your data for any other purpose.
  • Professional advisers: we may share information with legal, accounting, or insurance advisers where necessary to protect our business and meet our obligations.
  • Legal requirements: we may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, regulation, or a valid request from a competent authority, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our guests, staff, or others.
  • Business transfers: in the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate protections.

Each of our partners is bound by appropriate confidentiality and security standards, and we review our arrangements regularly to keep your information protected.

7. Aggregate and Analytics Data

We also use information in an aggregated or anonymised form that cannot identify you personally. For example, we may look at overall trends in how many guests book in a given season, which of our beach houses are most requested, or which pages on our website are most visited. This helps us plan improvements, manage our properties effectively, and decide where to invest in the guest experience.

Aggregated data sits outside the protections that apply to personal information, because it cannot be linked back to any individual. Where we produce reports or share such insights with partners, we remove all identifying details beforehand so that no person can be recognised from the information.

We never attempt to re-identify an individual from anonymised data, and we ask our partners to follow the same principle. If at any point we combine aggregated data with personal information, that combined data will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains connected to you.

8. Privacy for Children

Our beach houses are designed to be welcoming for families of all ages, and we value the safety of every guest. However, our website and booking services are not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children below the age of thirteen without the consent of a parent or guardian.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without the required consent, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information and stop the child from our records. When we receive details about a child as part of a family booking, we collect that information only from the responsible adult and use it solely to make the stay safe and enjoyable.

Parents and guardians are welcome to ask us at any time what information we may hold about their family. We treat requests relating to a family booking with the same care as requests from the primary booking holder.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and destruction. We apply both technical and organizational safeguards, including secure connections, limited access to data, and careful oversight of our staff and partners.

Access to personal information is limited to people who genuinely need it to do their work, such as our booking team and on-site care staff. Our website is served over an encrypted connection, and we keep our systems patched and up to date with the help of our developer Niubeach.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and we encourage you to protect any passwords and account details you use in connection with our services. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

10. Data Retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as we are required to keep it by law. When we no longer need the information, we delete it or anonymise it in a secure way.

Contact enquiries are generally kept for a short period so we can answer follow-up questions, and then are removed if no booking follows. Booking records are kept for a longer period so that we can confirm past stays, manage warranties and disputes, and meet tax and accounting obligations. Payment information is subject to the retention schedules of our payment partners and applicable law.

After the retention period ends, information is either deleted permanently or converted into an anonymised form that can no longer be linked to you. We review our retention schedules from time to time to make sure we are not keeping more data than we need.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights over the personal information we hold about you. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us, and we will respond as quickly as we reasonably can and within the time limits required by law.

  • Access: you may ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Rectification: you may ask us to correct any information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Erasure: you may ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Restriction: you may ask us to limit how we use your information in certain circumstances.
  • Data portability: you may ask to receive your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: you may object to processing based on our legitimate interests or to direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at query@niubeach.autos or write to us at Niu Beach Hale Ohana LLC, 1422 Sycamore Dr, Santa Clara - 84765-1244, United States (US). We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and we will never charge you for making a reasonable request. If you are not satisfied with our response, you also have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

12. International Transfers

Our website and services operate from the United States, and some of the third-party partners we rely on, such as booking platforms and payment processors, may store data in servers located in various countries around the world. When personal information is transferred across borders, we make every reasonable effort to keep it protected.

Where transfers take place, we rely on appropriate safeguards that are recognised under applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses, to ensure that your information is kept as safe as it would be in your own country. We review our partnerships to confirm that each provider applies a comparable level of protection.

By using our services and providing us with your information, you understand that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate. We will always comply with the requirements of this policy wherever your data is held.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, in the law, or in how we operate. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and update the date shown at the top of the document.

If any change is significant in its effect on the use of your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention, such as a notice on our website or a message to your email address if we hold one. Significant changes will not be applied with less than a reasonable notice period where consent is required by law.

We encourage you to review this page from time to time so that you stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of our website after changes take effect means that you accept the revised policy, subject to any requirements of consent under applicable law.
