Privacy policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

This website presents Cabana Bio and lets you check availability for your dates. Here we explain, plainly, what data goes through the site, what it is used for and how you can exercise your rights under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018).

1. Who is responsible

Cabana Bio, a lodging in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, run by host Amanda, is responsible (the controller) for the data processed through this website. Privacy contact: a message through the Airbnb listing or on Instagram at @cabanabio.

2. What data goes through the site

• Availability request: the name, WhatsApp number, check-in and check-out dates and number of guests you fill in on the form.
• Technical access logs: like any website, the server automatically logs technical data about visits (IP address, date and time, page visited and browser type).

The form data is not sent to our server or stored by the site. It stays in your browser and is only used to open your request: for now, the Cabana Bio listing on Airbnb with the dates and number of guests filled in (once WhatsApp service is available, the ready-made message on WhatsApp). Your request only reaches the host if you send it on Airbnb or on WhatsApp.

3. What we use it for, and the legal basis

• Answering your request, confirming dates and arranging the booking: steps prior to a contract, at your request (art. 7, V, of the LGPD).
• Technical logs: keeping the site secure and working (legitimate interest, art. 7, IX) and meeting legal obligations, such as those of Brazil's Internet Civil Framework (art. 7, II).

We do not sell data, we do not use your data for advertising and we do not send messages unless you started the conversation.

4. Third-party services

• Airbnb and WhatsApp (Meta): the booking and the conversation happen on Airbnb or on WhatsApp and follow each one's privacy policy.
• Google Maps: the map in the Location section is loaded from Google when you reach it. Google may collect browsing data under its own privacy policy.

The site's photos and fonts are served from our own server, with no third-party services.

5. Cookies

This site does not use its own cookies or any analytics, tracking or advertising tools. That is why there is no cookie banner. Only the Google map, when loaded, may use Google's own cookies.

6. How long we keep data

The site does not store the form data. Booking conversations stay on Airbnb or on the host's WhatsApp for as long as needed to assist you and meet legal obligations. Technical access logs are kept for a limited time and then deleted, in line with the period required by law.

7. Your rights

Under the LGPD (art. 18), you may request at any time:

• confirmation that we process your data, and access to it;
• correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
• anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary data or data processed in breach of the law;
• portability, and information on whom the data has been shared with;
• deletion of data processed with your consent, and withdrawal of that consent.

To exercise your rights, contact the host through the Airbnb listing or on Instagram at @cabanabio. You may also file a complaint with Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

8. Security

The site only works over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and has no login area or visitor database.

9. Changes

This policy may be updated. The date of the latest version is always shown at the top of this page.
