PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: April 5th, 2022

Mint House Inc. (“Mint House,” “we,” “our” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy. Mint House offers fully furnished apartments (the “Units”) that combine the comforts of home and the quality of luxury apartments and hotels (the “Property”) on a short-term basis for guests (“Guests”) to stay. The website at and any other websites or mobile applications relating to Mint House or the Units (the “Sites”) and the various other related services, features, functions, software, properties, applications, websites and networks (together with the Units and the Sites, collectively, the “Mint House Services”) are provided and operated, and are being made available to you, the other Guests and the other users of Sites and other Mint House Services (collectively, “Users”). This privacy policy explains our policies and practices regarding the information we collect from and about you. We want to provide you with a level of comfort and confidence in how we collect, use, and safeguard personal and other information we collect and obtain, or that you provide, through the Sites and the other Mint House Services and how you can contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), Mint House is the data controller. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we use the information that we hold. We are a Delaware corporation registered in the United States with an office at 335 Madison Avenue, Suite 5F2, New York, NY 10017 USA. The GDPR applies to you if you reside in the European Economic Area (an “EEA Resident”).

Please note that by making a reservation or renting a Unit or accessing or using the Sites or any other Mint House Service, you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy. This privacy policy is also incorporated by reference into the Mint House Terms of Service (as modified from time to time, the “Terms”), and the various other policies, agreements and terms and conditions that govern your making a reservation or renting a Unit or your use of Sites or other Mint House Services.

This privacy policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you make a reservation or rent a Unit or access or use the Sites or any other Mint House Service and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information. This policy applies to information we collect or may collect:

• When you access and use the Sites or other Mint House Services.
• When you make a reservation for a Unit.
• When you check in and rent a Unit.
• When you use one of our booking partners that sell bookings for us (e.g. Airbnb, Expedia, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Bridgestreet, other online travel agencies) (such booking partners collectively, “Booking Partners”).
• In e-mail, text and other electronic messages sent through or in use of the Sites or other Mint House Services.
• When you interact with the other Users.
• When you send any content through the Sites or any other Mint House Service.
• Through services provided to us by third-party companies, agents or contractors, including our Booking Partners, Payment Processors and data storage providers.

It does not apply to information collected by:

• Use offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Mint House or any third party; or
• Any third party, including our Booking Partners and Payment Processors.

Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your only choice is not to make a reservation or rent a Unit or use the Sites or any other Mint House Service. By making a reservation or renting any Unit or accessing or using the Sites or any other Mint House Service, you agree to this privacy policy. This privacy policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of any Mint House Service, after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this privacy policy periodically for updates. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph is intended to affect any rights that an EEA Resident might have, or restrictions that might apply, under the GDPR.

Minors under the Age of 18

Minors under 18 years of age may not make a reservation for a Unit (although minors under 18 years of age may stay with a guest who is 18 years or older in accordance with the Terms). No one under age 13 may provide any information on or through the Sites or any other Mint House Service. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on or through any of the Mint House Services or any of its features on the Sites, and do not use any of the interactive or public comment features of the Sites or any of the other Mint House Services or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personal data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info@minthouse.com.

You may now or in the future provide pictures, text, data, information and other input or any other content linked, posted or submitted by you or other Users to be published or displayed (hereinafter, “posted”) on or through the Sites or any of our social networking pages (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), or transmitted to third parties or other Users of or any of the other Mint House Services (collectively, “User Content”). Your User Content is posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other Users, or our social networking pages, with whom your User Content is shared. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Content will not be viewed, downloaded or shared by unauthorized persons.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.

The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Sites or other Mint House Services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to the Sites.
• Flash Cookies. Certain features of the Sites may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on the Sites. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Do Not Track Policy

Your web browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not honor any web browser “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms that provide you with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. At present, no universally accepted standards exist on how companies should respond to do-not-track signals. In the event a final universally accepted standard is established, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to these signals.

Third-Party Responsibilities and Services

We use or partner with other third-party companies, agents or contractors, including our Booking Partners, Payment Processors and data storage providers, for various purposes in connection with our business and operations (“Service Providers”). Such purposes include making reservations, texting, ID scanning, CRM, property management, billing and payments, credit card gateway, cloud hosting, relationship building, the marketing and growth of our business and the performance of services on our behalf, such as gathering and analyzing information and the provision of services to you. In the course of performing these responsibilities and providing such services, these other companies may have access to your information, including your personal data. We may also share information, including your personal data and other information, with these Service Providers in order to enable them to perform these responsibilities and to provide these services. Many Service Providers have adopted their own privacy policies, which are not subject to control by Mint House. You should always review the policies of these Service Providers to make sure that you are comfortable with the ways in which they collect, use, maintain, protect and disclose your information. We do not specifically list our current Service Providers because they change from time to time. If you would like the names of our Service Providers, please email us at

The Service Providers may also transmit cookies to your computer or device, when you click on ads that appear on or through the Service. Also, if you click on a link to a third-party website from the Sites, including, links to news and articles about us and the Properties, such third party may also transmit cookies to you and we do not have any control over that. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you are no longer using any of our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your web browser.

Reservation System – StayNTouch

We use StayNTouch to store all of the data we receive from Guests regarding reservations of Units. We do this to provide a reliable and secure booking process while concentrating on our real business of hospitality. Any personal information you share when making a reservation will be shared with StayNTouch in order to process it. More information about StayNTouch and its privacy policy can be found here: https://www.stayntouch.com/privacy/.

Facebook Pixel

We use Facebook Pixel to track conversions and direct relevant advertising to our Users. Facebook Pixel allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions Users take on the Sites and other Mint House Services. You can opt out by following the instructions here: http://optout.aboutads.info. More information about Facebook and its privacy policy can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacyshield.

Use of Remarketing with Google Ads, Google Analytics and other Remarking and Analytic Services

We use or may in the future use a variety of remarketing and analytic services including:

Google Ads

The Sites use Google Ads to advertise in search results to previous visitors to our Sites or to individuals who search for specific key terms or phrases. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who have not completed a task on our Sites; for example, using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement in the Google search results or on a site in the Google Display Network Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Sites. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with this privacy policy, as well as Google’s privacy policy.

Google Analytics and Google Search Console

We use “Google Analytics” and “Google Search Console” to collect information about use of the Sites. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Sites, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Sites. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve the Sites and other Mint House Services, and their related features, functionality and performance. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our Sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Sites, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Sites by disabling cookies on your browser. You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to, you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin. Google has additional information available about its Remarketing Privacy Guidelines, Policies, and Restrictions on its website.

Google Tag Manager

The Sites use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketed website tags to be managed using an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not register personal data. The tool causes other tags to be activated which may, for their part, register data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this information. If recording has been deactivated on domain or cookie level, this setting will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

How Long We Store Your Personal Data

We will only retain your personal data, in a form which permits us to identify you, for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. We will retain and use your personal data as necessary to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes or to enforce our agreements and rights. After that, we will either securely delete or anonymize your personal data so that it cannot be linked back to you.

Data Security

We understand that the security of your personal data is important. We provide reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security controls to protect your personal data. However, despite our efforts, no security controls are 100% effective and Mint House cannot ensure or warrant the security of your personal data.
