4Payments & financial data
Host Wingman processes payments directly on the platform. When you make or receive a payment, we collect and process your billing information through our secure third-party payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers — all payment data is handled using industry-standard encryption and tokenization.
Your financial data is shared with our payment processor solely to complete transactions. We retain transaction records as required by applicable law and for dispute resolution purposes.
5Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:
- With other users — provider profile information is visible to browsing hosts; your contact details are only shared when you initiate direct contact
- With payment processors — billing and transaction data necessary to complete payments
- With service vendors — third parties who help us operate the platform (hosting, analytics, email/SMS delivery) under strict data processing agreements
- For legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users or the public
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale
6Data retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Payment and transaction records may be retained longer as required by law. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where legally required to retain it.
7Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to opt out of marketing communications. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hostwingman@gmail.com or (512) 981-5669. We will respond within 30 days.
