Privacy Policy

Who We Are

This website is operated by Book Homes By Owner, a service of Findik Properties (“BHBYO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit or interact with this website.

Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect or receive the following types of information:

• Information you choose to provide. If you contact us by email, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you include in your message.
• Technical and usage information. Our hosting provider and website technologies may automatically record information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of a request.
• Cookie and consent information. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for essential website functions and, where applicable, other purposes based on the choices you make through our cookie-consent banner.
• Availability interactions. When you view or use an OwnerRez-powered availability feature, information related to the use of that widget, such as selected dates or widget interactions, may be processed by OwnerRez.

How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the website to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• display property and availability information;
• remember or apply cookie and privacy preferences;
• respond to privacy or other inquiries sent to us;
• detect technical problems, abuse, fraud, or security issues; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Cookies and Consent Choices

We use a cookie-consent tool provided through SureCookie to present privacy choices and remember consent preferences. Essential cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for the website to function. Other cookies or technologies, if used, may depend on your consent settings.

You can review or change your cookie choices through the cookie controls available on the website. You may also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

OwnerRez Availability Features

BHBYO uses OwnerRez to provide real-time vacation-home availability and related property functionality. When an OwnerRez widget is loaded or used, OwnerRez may process technical, usage, cookie, or interaction information in accordance with its own privacy practices.

BHBYO does not currently require guests to create a website account or enter booking-payment information directly on this website. Guests are directed to work with their travel agent for booking and personalized pricing.

Third-Party Services and Links

The website may rely on third-party service providers for hosting, website functionality, availability information, cookie-consent management, security, or similar operational purposes. Those providers may process information as necessary to provide their services to us.

The website may also contain links to websites or services that we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

When Information May Be Shared

We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate and secure the website, when required by law or valid legal process, to protect the rights or safety of BHBYO or others, or in connection with a business reorganization, sale, or transfer.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to maintain website security and functionality, to respond to inquiries, or to meet legal and recordkeeping obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service provider involved.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information handled through the website. However, no website, network, or method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults planning or arranging travel and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights concerning personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion, or information about how your data is used. You may also have the right to withdraw certain consent choices.
