3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

iShortlet does not sell your personal information as a standalone product. However, we may share personal information where reasonably necessary to provide our services, operate our business, protect our users, or comply with applicable law.

When you make an inquiry or booking, relevant information may be shared with the applicable property owner, host, property manager, or accommodation provider so that your request or reservation can be processed.

These service providers are expected to process information only as necessary to provide their services.

We may disclose personal information where we reasonably believe that doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from government or regulatory authorities, protect our legal rights, investigate fraud or unlawful activity, protect the safety of our users or others, or enforce our agreements and policies.

If iShortlet becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
