You can request access to or deletion of your personal data by submitting this form.  When you make a Trip Reservation, you are (at a minimum) asked for your name and email address. For example, if you’re browsing with your mobile device, you can decide to allow Booking.com to see your current location or grant us access to your contacts. This helps us give you the best possible service and experience by, for example, showing you our city guides, suggesting restaurants and attractions close to your location, or making other recommendations. We may offer you referral programs or sweepstakes. Participating in these will involve providing us with relevant personal data. If you’re using a mobile device, we collect data that identifies the device, as well as data about your device-specific settings and characteristics, app crashes, and other system activity.  Personal data we receive from other sources. It’s not just the things you tell us, though – we may also receive info about you from other sources.
