Information We Collect
We collect Personal Data about you that you provide to us when using the Site. Personal Data may include your name, address, phone number, credit card details, e-mail address, accommodation name, accommodation location and/or length of stay. In addition to this, when using our Site, even if you do not make a reservation, we may collect other certain information, such as your IP address, geographic data, your nationality and password, search preferences related to specific searches, which browser you’re using, and information about your computer’s operating system, application version, language settings and pages that have been shown to you. If you are using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics and latitude/longitude details, and if you participate in an SoBonus program there may be limited additional data that we may collect from the accommodation about your stay, for example, a list of charges (anonymized) as part of the SoBonus Reception program. When you make a reservation, our system registers through which means and from which websites you have made your reservation.
Pre-reservation chat support: in certain circumstances we may provide Agoda customers with pre-reservation chat support. The purpose of this support is to help customers with any pre-reservation questions that they may have but should a customer decide to proceed with the reservation on the Site, the customer will be expected to follow the normal reservation procedure him or herself. As such, we will generally not ask customers for any Personal Data e.g. no credit card numbers or customer email addresses but in case any information a customer provides to Agoda is deemed by law to be Personal Data or if the customer decides to disclose Personal Data to SoBonus or where such Personal Data is required to be collected in order to provide pre-reservation chat support, then this Privacy Policy will apply to such Personal Data collected
Personal information you give us about others: by choosing to participate in our referral program, you may disclose personal information of others to us such as their names and email addresses. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the person or people you have provided personal information about are aware that you have done so, and have accepted how SoBonus uses their information (as described in this Privacy Policy).
