Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This policy describes what personal data Bedspace Manager collects, why we collect it, and what rights you have. If you have questions, email support@bedspacemanager.com.

1About This Policy

Bedspace Manager(“we”, “us”, “our”) is a PropTech SaaS platform for shared accommodation operators. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Bedspace Manager web application, iOS app, and Android app, as well as visitors to https://www.bedspacemanager.com.

By creating an account or using any part of the platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

This policy covers two categories of people: Operators — businesses and individuals who sign up and manage properties — and Tenants — people whose information is entered into the platform by operators as part of lease and invoicing workflows.

2Data We Collect

Account & Identity Data

When you create an account we collect:

  • Email address and password (or Google OAuth profile if you sign in with Google)
  • Your name (as provided during sign-up or pulled from Google profile)
  • Email verification status

Business Data

During onboarding and throughout use we collect:

  • Business name (printed on all tenant invoices)
  • Country selection — used to set currency, time zone, and locale. This cannot be changed after setup.
  • Subscription plan and billing history
  • Team member names, email addresses, and assigned roles

Property & Unit Data

  • Property addresses resolved via Google Places API
  • Geographic hierarchy (city, location, building, floor, property, unit)
  • Unit types, bed types, occupancy status, and furnishing details

Tenant & Lease Data

Operators enter tenant and lease data into the platform. This may include:

  • Tenant names and WhatsApp/phone numbers (used for invoice delivery)
  • Lease start and end dates, rent amounts, billing type
  • Move-in and move-out records
  • Demographic information if entered by the operator
Tenant data is entered by operators, not directly by tenants. If you are a tenant and want to know what data is held about you, contact the operator who manages your accommodation or email us at support@bedspacemanager.com.

Financial Data

  • Invoice amounts, types (income / expense), and payment status
  • Payment method recorded per transaction (for audit purposes)
  • Adjustment entries and settlement records
  • Recurring billing rule configurations

Usage & Technical Data

  • Pages and features accessed, actions taken within the platform
  • Device type, operating system, and app version
  • IP address and approximate location (country-level) for security purposes
  • Crash reports and error logs

3How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

  • Provide the service — create and manage leases, generate invoices, track payments, and maintain your property portfolio.
  • Deliver communications — send PDF invoices to tenants via WhatsApp, send monthly financial reports (Insights PDF and Transactions Excel) to the business Founder by email, and send push/email/WhatsApp reminders for rent due and occupancy changes.
  • Process payments — manage subscription billing, upgrades, downgrades, prorations, and cancellations.
  • Maintain security — enforce role-based access controls (Founder, Admin, Manager, Finance, Agent), detect unauthorized access, and preserve financial audit trails.
  • Improve the product — analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to guide feature development and fix bugs.
  • Comply with legal obligations — respond to lawful requests from regulators or courts where required.

4Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in these circumstances:

Service Providers

We use third-party vendors to operate the platform. They access only the data necessary to perform their function and are contractually bound to protect it:

  • Cloud hosting & infrastructure — servers, databases, file storage
  • Payment processor — handles subscription billing; we do not store full card numbers
  • Email delivery — for monthly reports, notifications, and verification emails
  • Push notification service — for mobile app alerts
  • Google Maps Platform — to resolve property addresses via Google Places API
  • WhatsApp Business API — to deliver PDF invoices directly to tenants' WhatsApp numbers

Legal Requirements

We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bedspace Manager, our users, or the public.

Business Transfers

If Bedspace Manager is acquired, merged, or its assets are sold, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you before this happens and your rights under this policy will continue to apply.

5Retention & Deletion

While Your Subscription Is Active

All data is retained and fully accessible for as long as your subscription remains active.

After Cancellation

When you cancel your subscription your account enters a read-only window of 4 months. During this period you can view and export your data but cannot create or modify records.

After the 4-month read-only window expires, all account data — including properties, units, tenants, leases, invoices, and financial records — is permanently and irreversibly deleted. Export any data you need before the window closes.

Account Deletion Requests

You may request immediate deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing support@bedspacemanager.com. We will process the request within 30 days. Note that deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

6Security

We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

  • All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS
  • Role-based access control with five permission levels (Founder, Admin, Manager, Finance, Agent) ensures team members only access data relevant to their function
  • Financial records include immutable audit trails — invoices and transactions can be voided but not deleted, preserving a complete history
  • Passwords are hashed; we never store plaintext credentials
  • Regular security reviews and dependency updates

No system is perfectly secure. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, change your password immediately and contact us at support@bedspacemanager.com.

  • Preferences — to remember your in-app settings and locale.
  • Analytics — aggregated, anonymized usage data to understand how features are used. No individual user is tracked or profiled for advertising.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in. The marketing website (https://www.bedspacemanager.com) may set analytics cookies; a consent banner is shown on your first visit.

9Third-Party Services

  • WhatsApp Business API — tenant phone numbers and invoice PDF files are shared with Meta's WhatsApp Business platform for invoice delivery. Governed by WhatsApp's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Sign-In (OAuth) — if you choose to sign in with Google, your Google profile name and email are shared with us. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Payment Processor — subscription payments are handled by our payment provider. We do not receive or store full card numbers. Their privacy policy is provided at checkout.

10Children's Privacy

Bedspace Manager is a business tool intended for use by adults operating accommodation businesses. The service is not directed at children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@bedspacemanager.com and we will delete it promptly.

11Policy Changes

We may update this policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If changes are material — such as a new category of data collected or a new way data is shared — we will notify you by email (if you have an active account) at least 14 days before the change takes effect.

Continued use of the platform after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
