Who We Are

Sweet Saint Pete is a privately owned vacation rental property in St. Petersburg, Florida. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you provide when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, complete a booking, or stay at the property.

Our website address is: https://sweetsaintpete.com.

Information We Collect

  • Booking and inquiry information: name, email, phone, dates of stay, guest count, and any messages you send through our contact or booking forms.
  • Booking partner data: when you book through Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or our integrated Hospitable booking widget, those platforms collect their own information under their own privacy policies, and we receive a subset of it (typically your name, contact details, and reservation dates).
  • Payment information: we do not store payment card details on this website. Payments are processed by our booking partners (Airbnb, Hospitable, etc.).
  • Website analytics: standard server logs, cookies, and analytics platforms (such as Google Site Kit / Google Analytics) collect non-personal usage information including page views, referring URLs, device type, and approximate location.
  • On-property data: we may use smart-home devices for security (e.g. exterior cameras, noise monitoring, smart locks). These never record interior audio or video and are disclosed to all guests.

How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries and confirm bookings.
  • To deliver the rental experience, including check-in instructions and on-site support.
  • To comply with applicable Pinellas County, City of St. Petersburg, and State of Florida short-term rental laws.
  • To send transactional messages related to your stay (confirmations, check-in, check-out).
  • To improve the website and our guest experience.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with:

  • Booking partners (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Hospitable) when needed to fulfill your reservation.
  • Service providers who help operate the property (cleaning, maintenance) on a need-to-know basis.
  • Law enforcement or regulators when required by law.

Cookies

This website uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some site features may not work correctly.

Data Retention

Inquiry and booking records are retained for as long as needed to provide the rental service and to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

Your Rights

You may request a copy, correction, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond within a reasonable time, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
