Gable Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 8, 2023

This is the privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) that governs how we, Gable Inc. (“Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), use Personal Information (defined below) that we collect, receive and store about individuals in connection with the use of the website https://www.gable.to/ (together with any of its subdomains) and any other websites through which Company makes its services available, including our mobile software application called "Gable" and available at: https://gable.onelink.me/N40j/GABLE21, via tablets and any other smart device applications, and any other website that we operate (together with their subdomains, content and services, shall be hereinafter the “Site” or “App”).

We do not ourselves host any of the services – all hosting is done by third party service providers that we engage. This means that data you provide us or that we collect from you (including any Personal Information, as defined below) – as further described in this Privacy Policy – is hosted with such third party service providers on servers that they own or control. Regardless of where such third party service providers are located (and some are located in the US), their servers may be located anywhere in the world (including the US). So please be aware that you are consenting to your data being transferred to various third party service providers around the world (including the US).

  1. Introduction. We have implemented this Privacy Policy because your privacy, and the privacy of other users, is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your Personal Information is collected and used in connection with the Site. “Personal Information” means any information that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a personal profile, an email address, a home or other physical address, or other contact information.
  2. Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy forms part of our Terms of Use which is available at https://www.gable.to/terms-of-use for Guests, and at https://www.gable.to/host-terms-of-use for Hosts (“Terms”). Any capitalized but undefined term in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning given to it in the Terms.
  3. Consent and Modification. You are not legally obligated to provide us Personal Information, and you hereby confirm that providing us Personal Information is at your own free will. By using the Site, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and to our collection, processing and sharing of Personal Information for the purposes set forth herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or otherwise use the Site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such change will be effective seven (7) days following posting of the revised Privacy Policy on the Site, and your continued use of the Site thereafter means that you accept those changes.
  4. What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It. We do not currently require you to provide Personal Information in order to have access to general information available on the Site. But, we do receive and/or collect Personal Information from you in the following ways:
    1. Account. In order to use certain services that we offer via the Site, you may be required to create an account (“Account”). We may offer different options to create an Account, including:
  1. In order for you to List or Book a Gable on the Platform, you must register for an account by submitting the information requested in the 'host onboarding flow’ or ‘guest onboarding flow’ (as may apply to you) on the App, or any other applicable web form (an “Account”). You are required to provide us with certain mandatory information such as your full name, date of birth, a valid phone number and email address and verify them to keep your Account secure, (as well as a password, unless you choose to login and create an Account using a third party account of yours, such as a Google, LinkedIn, Facebook or Apple account, in which case you will not need to set up a password) that you will use for your Account (“Account Information”) For Hosts, we also collect the address of their Gables. In addition, we may ask that you provide us with identity verification means that will require you to upload a means of identification, such as details of a social media account and/or a valid driver's license or passport. 
  2. Third Party Accounts: You may choose to create an Account by clicking on a ‘connect’ or ‘sign-in’ button that we may display on the Site for a designated third party website or service (each a “Third Party Account”), such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Apple or Google . Doing so will enable you to link your Account and your Third Party Account. If you choose this option, then you will be required to approve the connection as well as the types of information (which may include Personal Information) that we will obtain from your Third Party Account and the types of activities that we may perform in connection with your Third Party Account. Please note that in order to use this option, you will need to have, and may need to be signed-in to, an existing Third Party Account.

Regardless of which method you choose to register your Account, we may send an email to your nominated email address to instruct you how to confirm your registration.

If you choose not to create an Account, you may not be able to access or use certain features of the Site.

    1. ‘Contact Us’ Information. If you send us a “Contact Us” request, whether by submitting an online form that we make available or by sending an email to an email address that we display, you may be required to provide us with certain information such as your name and email address.
    2. Share with Friends Service. The Site may enable you to invite your friends to use our Site by sending them an invitation email or message. You may do so by: (i) using the Site to send or post an invitation message via your Third Party Account; and/or (ii) using the Site to send an invitation email to your friend’s external email address (for example, a Gmail address). If you send or post an invitation message we may collect Personal Information about the recipient such as their email address or their party website account user name and ID, which we will use in order to verify your identity.
    3. Profile. Some parts of the Site may enable you to build a public profile in connection with your Account (“Public Profile”).
