Privacy Policy

Upkeeply helps hotels, properties, and other businesses (collectively, "Properties") deliver better service by helping staff communicate with each other and their guests. We want property guests and staff to control their data, and we do not sell guest data or use it to contact people for marketing purposes. We commit to solid privacy protection principles this privacy policy outlines ("Policy").

This Policy covers the policies and practices for how Upkeeply, an affiliate of Jeff Bowes Software and Consulting, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Upkeeply," "we," or "us") handles the Personal Data of visitors to our Website www.upkeeply.com ("Website") and guests of Properties ("guests") (collectively, "you," or "your") who use our web platform, mobile platform, or applications or products that link to this Policy (together, the "Services"). "Personal Data" relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

The relevant Property controls this information, and we are processors of that data. Please consult the privacy policy of your Property for the complete details of how your data will be used to service your needs as part of your interaction with that Property.

In that case, we will explain why that determination was made and provide a contact point for further inquiries. To protect your privacy, UPKEEPLY will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Data.
