Agoda Privacy Policy
Agoda's privacy policy update (June 2026 → September 2026) is mostly clarifications, broken-link fixes, and an EU representative address change, but it also adds 'country of residence' to the account data collected, expands review data collection to guests, adds 'business partners' as a new category that can create user accounts with your data, and clarifies that independent business partners handle your data under their own (not Agoda's) privacy rules.
New data point collected: country of residence
Agoda now explicitly collects your country of residence as part of your basic account information, in addition to what it already collected.
“name, email address, phone number, date of birth, gender, country of residence, media”
Guest review data now collected and published
If someone you booked travel for (a guest) leaves a review, Agoda can now collect and publish that guest's name, photos/videos, and country of residence, not just yours.
“If you (or your guest(s)) submit reviews on the Platform, we collect and may publish your personal data”
What you can do — Make sure any guests you book for know their review, name, and country may be published if they leave a review.
Business partners can now help create your account
Agoda expanded who can be involved in setting up user accounts on your behalf with your data — 'business partners' were added alongside affiliated companies and Travel Suppliers. This means a wider set of third parties may receive your data during account creation.
“facilitate the creation of user accounts with our affiliated group companies, business partners or Travel Suppliers as may be authorized by you”
Agoda distances itself from independent business partners' data handling
Agoda now more clearly states that when a business partner (e.g., a loyalty program or bank) handles your data as its own separate controller, that partner's own privacy policy governs — not Agoda's protections. You're responsible for checking each partner's terms yourself.
“Where a business partner acts as an independent data controller, that partner will process your personal data in accordance with its own privacy notice and terms and conditions.”
What you can do — Review the privacy notice of any third-party business partner (e.g., loyalty programs, banks) shown alongside your Agoda booking before sharing further data with them.

| 63 | 63 | _Sensitive Personal Data:_ |
| 64 | 64 | |
| 65 | Certain types of personal data, such as religion, health related data or children's data, are considered sensitive and may require additional protection under applicable laws. Although we do not ordinarily collect sensitive personal data as part of our standard Travel Product bookings, there may be a need , from time to time, to collect such information e.g. as contained in a government-issued identification document or medical certificate (e.g. if such information is supportive of a transaction or request that you ask us to perform on your behalf such as a cancellation or amendment of your booking, as part of legal requirements (e.g. accessibility or other special travel preferences) or if you may choose to share such information voluntarily through any contact you may have with Agoda. You may also elect to provide us with other information which may imply or suggest information like religion, health or other information, such as when specifying your dietary needs. | |
| 65 | Depending on applicable laws, certain personal data elements described above, including data collected as part of the usual provision of our Platform and Travel Products, may be classified as sensitive or special category personal data, or otherwise subject to heightened protections. Where this applies, we will process such data in accordance with the additional requirements and restrictions of those laws. | |
± CHANGEDSensitive data section reworded The explanation of how Agoda handles sensitive data (health, religion, ID documents, etc.) was rewritten. It now more broadly acknowledges that data collected through normal use of the Platform can itself qualify as sensitive under some laws, and commits to applying extra legal protections in that case. | ||
| 66 | 66 | |

This extends to any other communication channels we may make available (e.g. email, phone, in-app or platform messages, chatbots, Agoda's AI powered travel assistant, or other trip planning or saving features, social media messaging apps). If you choose to disclose this data, we will treat this as you having given your explicit consent for use of that information as described in this Privacy Policy. | |
| 67 | We do not ordinarily seek to collect other sensitive personal data, such as religion, health related data or children's data, as part of our standard Travel Product bookings. However, we may need to collect such information from time to time, for example where it is contained in a government-issued identification document or medical certificate (e.g. if such information is to support a transaction or request that you ask us to perform on your behalf such as a cancellation or amendment of your booking, as part of legal requirements, accessibility or other special travel preferences). We may also collect such information if you choose to share it voluntarily with Agoda. You may further elect to provide information which may imply or suggest religion, health or other sensitive information, such as when specifying your dietary needs. | |
