Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Maravilla Resort (“Platform,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates a listing discovery website that connects prospective guests with independent vacation rental unit hosts at Maravilla Resort, located at 2606 Scenic Gulf Dr, Miramar Beach, FL 32550.

As described in our Terms of Service, this website operates solely as an informational directory. We do not process bookings, handle payments, or mediate communications between guests and unit hosts. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we collect when you browse our website, how we use it, and how we protect it.

By using this website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use this website.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect minimal personal information. Because this Platform does not process bookings, payments, or user registrations, we do not require you to create an account or submit personal details to browse listings. If you contact us directly via email, we will receive whatever information you include in that communication (such as your name and email address).

2.2 Information from Property Hosts

Unit hosts voluntarily submit listing content to the Platform, including property descriptions, photographs, pricing, availability, amenities, and their own contact information. Hosts are solely responsible for the information they provide and for their own compliance with applicable privacy laws.

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies, including:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages viewed and time spent on pages
• Referring website addresses
• Access times and dates
• Device identifiers

This data is collected to operate, maintain, and improve the website and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the website
• To improve the website's functionality and user experience
• To analyze aggregate usage patterns and trends
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
• To respond to direct inquiries sent to us via email
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information to facilitate bookings, process payments, or share your personal data with property hosts. Any communication between guests and hosts occurs directly through the contact information hosts publish in their listings, outside of this Platform.

4. How We Share Your Information

4.1 We Do Not Sell Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purpose.

4.2 Service Providers

We may share limited technical data with third-party service providers who help us operate the website, including:

• Website hosting providers (e.g., Cloudflare)
• Analytics services
• Email delivery services

These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the specific services they perform on our behalf and to protect it in accordance with applicable law.

4.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities such as a court order, subpoena, or government agency.

4.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, any information we hold may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will provide notice before any such transfer takes effect.

5. Payments and Financial Data

This Platform does not process, collect, or store any payment or financial information. All financial transactions related to vacation rental bookings occur exclusively between guests and unit hosts through third-party platforms and services selected independently by hosts. We have no access to and accept no responsibility for any financial data exchanged in those transactions.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and analyze the performance of our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors interact with the site.

6.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand website usage and improve performance

6.2 Your Cookie Choices

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent. If you disable cookies, some portions of the website may not function as intended.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect any information collected through this website, including encryption of data in transit, regular security assessments, and access controls.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected technical data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Because we do not maintain user accounts or store booking data, our data retention is limited to server logs and analytics data, which are periodically purged in accordance with our data management practices.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding any personal information we hold, including:

• Access: Request access to information we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your information
• Opt-out: Object to certain processing of your information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including those of unit hosts and external booking platforms. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

When you leave our website or interact with a unit host through their published contact information, you are subject to that third party's own terms and privacy practices. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any website you visit or service you use.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
