Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 9, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Rumi ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our application and services.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and profile information. If you sign up using a third-party service (like Google), we receive basic profile information from that service.

Hotel Ratings and Reviews

We collect the hotel ratings, reviews, and travel history you choose to share on our platform. This includes your scores, written reviews, photos, and any other content you submit.

Usage Information

We automatically collect certain information about how you interact with our service, including pages viewed, features used, and the time and date of your visits.

Google User Data

Rumi integrates with Google services to enhance your experience. When you connect your Google account, we may request access to the following data:

Email Address

Scope: userinfo.email

Purpose: We use your Google email address to identify your account, enable authentication, and send you important notifications about your account and activity.

Calendar Events (Read-Only)

Scope: calendar.events.readonly

Purpose: We scan your Google Calendar for hotel reservation confirmations to help you automatically track your travel history and prompt you to rate hotels you've stayed at. We only read calendar events—we never modify, delete, or create calendar entries.

How We Use Google Data

  • To authenticate your identity and maintain your account
  • To automatically detect hotel stays from your calendar reservations
  • To suggest hotels for you to rate based on your travel history
  • To improve our service and user experience

Google Data Retention & Deletion

We retain Google user data only as long as necessary to provide our services. Calendar data is processed to extract hotel reservation information and is not stored in its raw form beyond the processing period. You can revoke our access to your Google data at any time through your Google Account permissions. Upon revocation or account deletion, we will delete all associated Google data within 30 days.

Google Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your Google user data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your Google data is only used internally to provide the features described above. We may share anonymized, aggregated statistics that cannot identify individual users.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Create and manage your account
  • Process and display your hotel ratings and reviews
  • Connect you with other travelers and curators
  • Send you updates, notifications, and promotional communications (with your consent)
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

Information Sharing

Your hotel ratings, reviews, and profile information may be visible to other users of Rumi based on your privacy settings. We may also share information:

  • With service providers who assist in operating our platform
  • To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to you)

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access, update, or delete your personal information
  • Opt out of promotional communications
  • Revoke third-party app permissions (including Google)
  • Request a copy of your data
  • Close your account at any time

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and analyze how our service is used. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
