Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026. Built on privacy, zero marketing tracking, and clean physical search.
1. Our Core Privacy Philosophy
At HotelWire, we believe that tracking travelers is antithetical to travel integrity. Unlike traditional booking engines that run bloated behavior-tracking networks to target ads and manipulate search pricing, we collect the bare minimum information to operate our frictionless directory.
2. Communications with our Research Desk
When you submit a specification report or general contact request through our About Page form, we store your name, email address, topic of inquiry, and submitted parameter comments. This data is utilized solely by our editors to verify physical lodging details or reply to your report. We do not sell, rent, or distribute contact lists to third-party marketing brokers.
3. Cookie Configuration & Consent
We store cookie consent preferences (via cookie-consent-v3 value in client-side localStorage) to honor your layout decisions, respect search preferences in our Sandbox, and gather lightweight, privacy-respecting traffic analytics. Essential operational cookies allow core functions such as route parameters to render correctly.
4. Security Measures & Database Integrity
Our server-side submissions securely transition to a protected Firebase database keeping coordinates out of general visibility. If you have questions about our data integrity procedures or would like to request removal of your submission record, please submit your inquiry directly through our cooperation portal.
