Airbnb Taxes for HostsPrivacy

What you type into a form

When you fill in a form on this site we receive the fields you can see. Your name, your email address, your phone number if you give one, the revenue band you picked, which year's download you have, and whatever you wrote about the payout or the city letter. There is no hidden field that stores a note you did not type. The extra website field is a trap for automated submissions and is not used as a contact.

If you pick a time on the booking page, Microsoft Bookings takes the booking details on our behalf and they reach the same practice. The calendar frame does not load until you tap the button on that page, so a visit that never taps does not open a bookings session.

What the browser records on its own

This site records a page view with two random identifiers that your own browser stores, one that lasts and one that ends when you close the tab, together with the page that referred you and any campaign tags in the link you followed. It is first party. It goes to our own server. It exists so we can tell which host pages are worth keeping.

If your browser is set to Do Not Track, none of that page-view record is written at all.

There is no advertising pixel on this site, no visitor identification service, and no third party analytics. The only other company involved in serving these pages is the network that delivers them, which logs the usual request information for security and rate limiting.

Host papers you might mention

The form does not accept a file upload. If you later send an export, a night calendar, or a city letter by a channel we agree on, that paper is kept with the conversation it belongs to. We do not drop it into a marketing list. We do not sell it. We do not use a real host's year as an example on a page.

A payout export can contain guest names, stay dates, and amounts. Treat it as sensitive when you send it. We read it to separate the federal nights from a platform tax line, and we do not publish those rows.

Why we hold it, and what we never do with it

We hold an enquiry so we can reply, so we can prepare for the call you asked for, so we can do the work if you engage us, so we can see which pages are useful, so we can keep automated submissions out of the form, and so we can meet ordinary record keeping duties.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for anyone else's advertising. No decision about you is made by an automated score.

How long it stays, and how a host has it removed

An enquiry is kept for as long as it takes to answer it, and for as long as an engagement and the records behind it require. If you would rather we did not keep it, say so on the phone and name the page you wrote from. The same number reaches the person who can tell you what we hold and correct a wrong detail.

A booking you cancel with the calendar provider is a separate record on that provider's side. Tell us on the phone as well if you want our copy of the note removed after we have answered.

Children and other people's data

This site is written for adults who host or who keep the books of a listing. We do not seek information from children. If a payout export names a guest, that name stays inside the working file and does not move onto a public page.

Changes to this notice

If this page changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. Material changes are made on the page rather than announced somewhere else. A note you send about a payout, a night count, or a city letter is read by the practice that publishes this site and kept with the conversation it belongs to.
