Coastal Blue Holdings, LLC – Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [12/16/2025]

Coastal Blue (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides vacation rental properties that may be booked through third-party platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or other reservation sites (“Booking Platforms”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we receive, how we use it, how it is shared, and your rights, including SMS-specific disclosures.

This Privacy Policy is accessible on the main webpage and the Contact Us page of our website.

1. Information We Collect

Because bookings occur through third-party platforms, the information we receive depends on what the Booking Platform shares with us.

• Phone number (masked or unmasked depending on the platform)

• Number of guests

• Payment status (not full payment details)

• Arrival/departure dates

We do not receive your full payment details, as these are processed by the Booking Platform.

If you contact us outside the platform:

• Full email

• Phone number (for SMS consent, if offered)

3. How Information Is Shared

Coastal Blue does not sell or share personal information for marketing purposes, including SMS consent and phone numbers, with any third parties or affiliates.

We may share information only with:

• Legal authorities if required by law

All service providers must use the information solely for operational or safety purposes.

4. SMS Messaging Disclosures (If You Opt In, Outside of the Booking Platform)

Some Booking Platforms allow phone number sharing; others mask numbers. If you directly provide consent to Coastal Blue to receive text messages:
