- To communicate with you about bookings, account activity, and support requests
- To comply with legal obligations, including tax and accounting requirements

The legal basis for processing is typically the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or our legitimate interest in operating a safe marketplace (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where required by law, we rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
4. Cookies

We do not use tracking or marketing cookies at launch. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. Third Parties & Data Sharing
We share data with trusted third-party service providers only to the extent necessary to operate the Platform:

- Hosting providers — for cloud infrastructure and data storage.
All third parties are bound by data processing agreements that comply with GDPR requirements. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or other unrelated third parties.
6. KYC Data Handling
Our identity verification is powered by Stripe Identity. When you submit your ID and selfie, those documents are sent directly to Stripe's secure servers.
RentBase does not store copies of your government-issued ID or selfie images. We only receive a verification result (verified, pending, or rejected) and related metadata. Stripe retains the documents in accordance with its own privacy and retention policies.
