Security and privacy

Careful with your business, and with your guests.

HostCloser handles your homes, your team and your guests’ conversations. Here is how that data is kept separate, protected and under your control, in plain words.

Your agency’s data

Separate from every other agency, at the database.

Isolated per agency

Every row of agency data is tagged with its agency, and the database itself refuses to show or change another agency’s rows. An automated test suite tries to cross between agencies and checks that it cannot.

Read-only Hostfully access

HostCloser reads your homes, rates and calendars. It never changes them. Creating inquiries in Hostfully is a separate switch, off until you turn it on.

Keys stored encrypted

Your Hostfully API key and other secrets are encrypted before they are stored and never shown again, only their last 4 characters.

Not used to train AI

Your data and your guests’ conversations are used only to run your account. They are not used to train AI models.

Your team’s access

Only the people you invite, with the right to do their job.

Owners and staff

Owners manage settings, billing and the team. Staff answer guests and follow leads.

Two-step sign-in for owners

Owners set up a code app before they can use the account, with single-use recovery codes.

Sign-in protection

Repeated failed sign-ins are slowed down and then locked for a while, per network and per account.

Support access is logged

When HostCloser support opens your account to help, every page viewed and every change made is recorded in your audit log.

Your guests

Honest with guests, and their choices respected.

Told they are chatting with AI

The chat says so before the first message, and a guest can ask for a person at any time.

Consent with the exact words

When a guest agrees to emails, HostCloser stores the wording they saw, with the time. Follow-ups go only to guests who agreed.

Unsubscribe in one click

Every marketing email carries your mailing address and an unsubscribe link that works at once, including the one-click button in Gmail and Apple Mail.

Privacy signals respected

Visit tracking follows your cookie consent banner and browser privacy signals. Access, export and deletion requests are handled within 30 days.
