Privacy Policy

Last updated and effective: 21 August 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how OkupAI (the "Service") collects, uses, and shares information when you access or use our channel management software for short-term rental and hotel operators. By using the Service, you agree to this policy.


Information We Collect

  • Account Information: name, email address, company, role, authentication details.
  • Property and Listing Data: property names, addresses, amenities, photos, rates, availability, restrictions, and policies you configure.
  • Reservation and Guest Data: booking details, dates, prices, channel identifiers, guest name and contact details as provided by connected channels.
  • Payment and Billing Data: subscription plan, invoices, payment status, limited payment method details (processed by our payment provider).
  • Usage and Device Data: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, actions in app, diagnostics, and cookies or similar technologies.
  • Support Communications: messages, attachments, and metadata when you contact support.

How We Use Information

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including syncing listings, rates, restrictions, and reservations across connected channels.
  • Improve and develop features, perform analytics, debug issues, and enhance security and reliability.
  • Communicate with you about updates, service announcements, billing, and support; respond to inquiries.
  • Enforce our Terms of Service, prevent abuse and fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK users)

Where required by law, we process personal data under these legal bases: performance of a contract (to provide the Service), legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Service, communicate with you, and prevent fraud), legal obligations, and your consent (for certain analytics or marketing where applicable).

Sharing and Disclosures

  • Channel and PMS Integrations: at your direction, we share relevant data with connected platforms (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, PMS providers) to sync listings and reservations.
  • Service Providers: we use trusted vendors for hosting, storage, analytics, communications, and payment processing, under obligations of confidentiality and security.
  • Legal and Safety: we may disclose information to comply with laws, protect rights, safety, and prevent fraud or abuse.
  • Business Transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

International Transfers

We may process and store information in countries outside your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross‑border transfers (such as standard contractual clauses) and ensure vendors provide adequate protections.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirements.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at office@okup.ai. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Controller: OKUPAI FZCO, Dubai Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Building A1, Dubai.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember preferences, and analyze usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not function properly without cookies.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Referral Program

If you open a referral link, enter a referral code, activate the OkupAI Referral Program, or participate in a referral, we process referral identifiers and event data such as the referral code, signed link/session data, capture and expiry timestamps, signup attribution, customer-account and user identifiers, Program-version acceptance, subscription cadence and status, eligible paid revenue excluding tax, discount and reward calculations, hold and payout status, payment reference, fraud and compliance review flags, and relevant audit records. We use this information to validate and preserve referral attribution; apply discounts; calculate, review, report, and pay rewards; prevent self-referral, duplicate attribution, abuse, and fraud; comply with tax, accounting, sanctions, and other legal duties; resolve disputes; and maintain Program security.

Referral-link data may persist in a signed browser or server session for up to 90 days. Signup attribution is kept immutable so that discounts, rewards, audits, and disputes can be administered consistently. Financial, payout, tax/KYC, fraud-prevention, and legal records are retained for the periods required by applicable law and OkupAI’s documented retention schedule. The Referrer’s customer dashboard may receive the Referred Customer’s privacy-safe customer-account or company display name, billing or referral status, and aggregate eligible spend and reward status needed to understand the referral. The Referred Customer may see the Referrer’s first name or, if unavailable, customer-account or company display name on the signup page. It does not receive an individual contact name, email address, telephone number, street address, invoice details, invoice or payment identifiers, bank details, payment-card data, or other payment credentials. Authorized OkupAI administrators and service providers may access the minimum information needed to operate payouts, compliance, support, hosting, security, and billing under appropriate contractual and access controls. Where required, we rely on performance of the referral terms, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Program, and compliance with legal obligations. Applicable data-subject rights and contact details are described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice (for example, by email or in‑app). The updated policy will be effective on the stated date. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
