Roomee Privacy Policy

Roomee helps people find rooms, housemates, buddy-ups, and great places to live across the Cayman Islands. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. It’s written in plain language so you actually understand it — no legal fog.

Last updated: 14 April 2026

  • Service providers (hosting, analytics, email/SMS, identity verification)
  • Payment processors (if applicable)
  • Advertising or marketing partners (only if you opt in)
  • Law enforcement when required by law

We only share what’s necessary for them to do their job.

4. Cookies and tracking

Roomee uses cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in
  • Remember your preferences
  • Understand how the platform is used
  • Improve performance
  • Support marketing (if you opt in)

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. How long we keep your data

We keep your information only as long as we need it to run Roomee or meet legal requirements.

  • Withdraw consent (e.g., marketing)

We’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. How we protect your information

We use industry-standard security measures, including:

  • Encryption in transit
  • Access controls
  • Monitoring for suspicious activity
  • Secure data storage

No platform is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

8. International data transfers

Roomee uses global service providers, which means your data may be stored or processed outside the Cayman Islands. When we transfer data, we use safeguards such as contractual protections and secure infrastructure.

9. Children

Roomee is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn we have, we’ll delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll let you know through the app or by email.
