Privacy Policy
Last updated: 27 September 2026
Hotel Rate Watch (“the App”) is a personal tool that follows the price of hotel stays on Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Accor, Caesars and Booking.com and tells you when it drops or the dates open up. It is operated by Tal Tukh (“we”, “us”).
1. What we collect
When you sign in with Google we receive and store:
- Your name and email address (from your Google profile).
- A unique user identifier issued by our authentication provider (Supabase).
When you use the App we also store:
- The stays you watch: hotel, dates, number of adults, room words, whether you want free cancellation or breakfast, your alert price, and what you paid if you mark a stay booked.
- Your trips and the loyalty programmes and tiers you set.
- The email addresses you share a trip with.
- The price history of each stay: every room and rate the hotel’s site showed at each check.
- For each device you turn alerts on for, the push address and keys your browser gives out for it. Turning alerts off, or signing out there, deletes them.
When you import a booking confirmation, the PDF is read in your browser. The file is never uploaded or stored; only the stay details you then save are kept.
We do not collect payment information, loyalty account numbers or passwords, precise location, contacts, browsing history, or any data beyond what is listed above.
2. How we use it
- To authenticate you and keep your data separate from other users.
- To check prices: every few hours our checker opens each stay’s hotel on the chain’s own website, on Booking.com, on Agoda and on Trip.com. Those sites receive the hotel, dates and number of adults — never your name, email or account.
- To show your stays, trips and price history, and to send price alerts.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any purpose beyond operating the App for you.
3. Where it is stored
Data is stored in a Supabase hosted PostgreSQL database. Row-level security policies ensure that each user can access only their own rows, and trips shared with them. The App is served by Vercel, and the price checker runs on an Oracle Cloud server.
4. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. The only things that leave the App are:
- Trips you share. Whoever signs in with an email address you share a trip with sees that trip, its stays and their price history, and your loyalty tiers. They can’t change anything. You can stop sharing at any time.
- Stay details sent to hotel sites (hotel, dates, adults), as described above. Some of those requests pass through a proxy service.
- Price alerts, if you turn them on, delivered as push notifications through your browser’s push service (Google, Apple or Mozilla), encrypted so that only your device can read them. They carry the hotel, dates and price, not your name or email.
Data may otherwise be disclosed only if required by law.
5. Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept for as long as you have an account. Deleting a stay deletes its price history; deleting a trip ends its shares. To delete all your data, contact us at taltukh@gmail.com and we will remove your account and all associated records.
6. Cookies
The App uses only essential authentication cookies set by Supabase to maintain your signed-in session. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.
7. Children
The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
8. Changes to this policy
If we update this policy the “Last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance.
9. Contact
