Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2026

This policy explains how Boutique Hotel Advisors LLC collects, uses, and protects information when you visit boutiquehoteladvisors.com or contact us through the site.

Information We Collect

Information you give us directly. You can contact us by phone, by email, or through the contact form on our Contact Us page. If you use the form, we collect what you enter: your full name, email address, phone number, project location, and the message you write. If you contact us by phone or email, we collect the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and phone number. Form submissions are delivered to our team by email and may also be stored in our website’s administration system. We do not have an online account system or a checkout.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, certain technical information is collected automatically through analytics and advertising tools:

IP address (used by Google Analytics and Google Ads; anonymized by default under GA4)
Browser and device characteristics, operating system, and language preferences
Pages viewed, referring URL, and general interaction with the site
Approximate location (city/country level, inferred from IP address — not precise GPS data)

We do not collect account passwords, payment card information, mailing addresses, marital status, or date of birth — we do not ask for or process any of these.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above only for these purposes:

To respond to inquiries you send us by phone, email, or through the contact form
To measure and improve website performance (Google Analytics)
To measure the performance of our Google Ads advertising campaigns
To display the embedded Google Map and Google Fonts on our site
To comply with legal obligations where applicable

We do not use your information to facilitate account creation, process payments or orders, or post testimonials on your behalf — the site does not have these features.

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on your location, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent — for Statistics and Marketing cookies (Google Analytics, Google Ads), which only load after you accept them in our cookie consent banner
Legitimate interest — for responding to your inquiries and for basic site operation and security (necessary cookies, Google Maps, Google Fonts)
Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law

Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with the following service providers, solely so they can perform services on our behalf:

Provider	Services used	What they may receive
Google LLC	Analytics (GA4), Ads, Tag Manager, Maps, Fonts, Search Console, PageSpeed Insights	IP address, device/browser data, approximate location, site interaction, ad interaction
Automattic, Inc. (Jetpack)	Jetpack Stats, Site Accelerator (image CDN)	IP address, basic visit statistics

These providers may process data outside your country of residence, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) under each provider’s own privacy policy, linked above.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

When you first visit our site, a consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies by category.

Category	Cookie / service	Purpose	Requires consent?
Necessary	WordPress core (`wordpress_test_cookie`)	Confirms cookies work; required for the site to function	No
Statistics	Google Analytics (GA4) — `_ga`, `_gid`, `_ga_<ID>`	Measures visits and site usage	Yes
Statistics	Jetpack Stats	Measures visits and site usage	Yes
Marketing	Google Ads — `_gcl_au`	Measures conversions from our Google Ads campaigns	Yes
Marketing / Functional	Google Tag Manager	Loads the above tags only after consent is given	Yes
Functional (no cookie)	Google Maps (embedded on Contact Us)	Displays our office location	No cookie, but shares your IP with Google when the map loads
Functional (no cookie)	Google Fonts	Displays site typography	No cookie, but shares your IP with Google when fonts load
Functional (no cookie)	Jetpack Site Accelerator	Delivers site images faster via CDN	No cookie

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in our site footer. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it automatically and will not load Statistics or Marketing cookies for you.

Data Retention

We keep the contact information you share with us, including contact form submissions, only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of our business relationship, unless a longer period is required by law (for example, tax or accounting records). Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ default retention settings in our account, after which it is automatically deleted or anonymized.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access and obtain a copy of your personal information
Request correction or deletion of your personal information
Restrict or object to certain processing
Withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect processing already carried out)
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (California residents, under the CCPA/CPRA — we do not sell personal information)

To exercise any of these rights, use the Data Request Form linked in our cookie consent banner, or contact us using the details below.

Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control. We automatically honor Do Not Track browser signals and the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if either is detected, Statistics and Marketing cookies are not loaded for that visit, without needing to show the consent banner.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision, and the updated version is effective as soon as it is posted.
