Read more about how you can manage your personal data
The information we collect may serve many different purposes. Your personal data may be used for the following:
First and foremost, we use your personal data to create and process your online travel bookings—this is essential for us to provide you with this service. This includes sending travel booking-related notifications, such as booking confirmations, change confirmations, and reminders. In some cases, it may also involve processing your personal data to enable online check-in via travel providers or to handle potential damage deposit matters.
When you contact customer service, we share your data (e.g., order details, account information) with our staff to assist with your booking.
Users can create an account on our website or app. We use your personal data to manage this account, enabling access to useful features. Easily manage your orders, access special offers, make bookings, and personalize settings.
Online Groups: We enable account holders to connect and interact through online groups or forums (e.g., travel communities).
We use your personal data for marketing activities, including:
We may also contact you in other situations via email, chatbots, postal mail, phone, and SMS. Our contact method will depend on the information you've provided. We also process communications you send us. This may occur for several reasons, including:
We sometimes invite customers to participate in market research. Please review the information sent with such invitations to understand what personal data we collect and how we use it.
We also use personal information for analysis to enhance our product services; continuously improving service quality and user experience is our ongoing commitment. For this, we use personal data for testing, troubleshooting, and compiling business data analytics. The primary goal is to gain insights into service performance and user behavior, ultimately optimizing and personalizing our website and app to provide more convenient and practical services. We strive to use de-identified, anonymous personal data for this analysis.
When you search on our app or website, for example, to book accommodation, we process your IP address to determine if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or another country. This allows us to provide the best pricing information based on your region (EEA or non-EEA).
During or after your trip, we may invite you to write a review. We may also ask your travel companions or the actual travelers you booked for to provide reviews, including details about the travel provider or destination. By submitting a review, you agree to its display on relevant travel provider information pages on our site, our mobile app, social media accounts and apps, the travel provider's online platform, or business partner websites. Reviews help other travelers understand the quality of travel services, destinations, and other shared experiences.
When you call our customer service team, we use an automatic phone number detection system to locate associated orders, saving both your and our staff's time. However, our staff may still need to verify your identity to ensure order data security. During your call, we may monitor or record it in real-time for quality control and training, including for handling complaints, legal claims, and fraud detection. Not all calls are recorded. Recorded calls are automatically deleted after a period, unless retention is deemed necessary for fraud investigations or legal purposes. More information is available below.
To foster a trustworthy environment for you and your fellow travelers, we collaborate with business partners and travel providers to continuously analyze and use specific personal data to detect and prevent online or offline fraud, misconduct, or illegal/unauthorized activities. We also use personal data for risk assessment and security, such as when you report security concerns or when user identity and booking verification are required. We may need to terminate or temporarily suspend specific travel orders until relevant assessments are complete.
Finally, in specific situations, we may need to use your data to address legal requests and disputes, cooperate with judicial investigations, comply with regulations, enforce our online service terms, or fulfill legitimate law enforcement requests. You decide whether to provide personal data. However, if we only collect partial data, you may only access partial services. For example, without your contact information, Fooyee cannot process your travel order. If automated personal data processing has legal effects or significant impacts on you, we will implement necessary measures to protect your rights and freedoms, including the right to human intervention.
Where applicable, for purposes A and B, we must use your personal data to fulfill contractual obligations, specifically to complete and process your travel orders.
If you do not provide the required personal data, we cannot complete your travel order or provide customer service. For purposes C to L, we (or third parties) rely on legitimate interests to provide and improve services and prevent fraud and other misconduct (further detailed under C to L).
When using your personal data for our or a third party's legitimate interests, we balance your rights and interests in personal data security with our or the third party's rights and interests. For purpose M, we rely on applicable legal bases for compliance obligations (e.g., law enforcement requests).
Finally, if required by applicable law, we will only provide your personal data to the extent legally mandated, such as for law enforcement agencies or other legally required requests.
To stop personal data use for purposes C-L, if direct settings adjustment isn't possible (e.g., via account settings), please write to fooyee.yonghe@gmail.com。
In specific situations, we share your personal data with third parties, including:
To complete your booking, we must send relevant booking details to the travel provider, a core part of our service. This may include, but is not limited to, contact info, payment details, and preferences noted during booking, depending on the itinerary and provider. In certain cases, we also provide travel providers with additional historical data, such as whether you've booked with them before, how many bookings you've completed through us, confirmation of no reported misconduct, your past booking cancellation rate, or if you've reviewed past bookings. If you make a booking-related request, we may contact the travel provider to facilitate it. If you don't pay through our system during the booking process, we'll provide your credit card details to your booked travel provider for subsequent payment collection (assuming you've provided us with this information). In case of travel booking claims or disputes, we may provide the travel provider with necessary information to resolve them, such as your contact details and other booking process information. This may include, but is not limited to, your email address and a copy of your booking confirmation as proof of a submitted travel booking, or to confirm cancellation reasons.
For completeness, travel providers will further process your personal data outside of our management. They may also request additional personal data from you for purposes such as providing extra services or complying with local regulations. Please read the travel provider's privacy statement to understand how they handle your personal data (if applicable).
Note that some travel providers may ask us to share your personal data with their contracted connected service partners to complete and manage your booking. These partners act on behalf of the travel provider and assist them in managing bookings.
To provide services, we may share your personal data with our affiliates (including customer service).
We also use services from vendors outside our corporate group to help us provide services to you. These include:
We will disclose your personal data to law enforcement and other government bodies as required by law, for necessary reasons such as preventing, detecting, or reporting criminal or fraudulent activities, or when legally obligated. To protect and defend the rights and property of our company or business partners, we may also need to disclose your personal data to authorities.
We collaborate with numerous business partners worldwide who distribute and advertise our services, including products and services from our travel providers. When you book through a business partner's website or app, certain personal data you provide, such as your preferred contact method, payment information, and other relevant details, will also be provided to us so we can confirm and manage your travel booking. If customer support is provided by the business partner, we will also provide them with necessary booking-related data (when required) to ensure appropriate and timely support. When you book through a business partner's website, that partner may also receive personal data from us related to that booking, as well as your interaction records on their websites, for their business purposes. If you book through a business partner's website and wish to understand how they handle your personal data, please read their website's privacy notice.
To detect and prevent fraud, we also exchange user-related information with business partners, but only when strictly necessary.
We may offer you "Partner Rates." When you book accommodation marked with "Partner Rates," your booking will be facilitated by a travel provider different from the accommodation you booked. We will need to share some relevant personal data with this business partner to complete the booking process. If you book at a partner rate, please review the information presented during the booking process or your booking confirmation for more details about the travel provider and their data handling practices.
