Privacy Policy
How Route IT Solutions FZC, the owner and operator of Repures, collects, uses and protects personal data across our platform and website.
This Privacy Policy explains how Route IT Solutions FZC ("Route IT", "we", "us" or "our"), the owner and operator of the Repures platform ("Repures" or the "Platform"), processes personal data when you visit repures.com, contact us, request a demo, engage with our marketing, apply for a position with us, or use the Repures Platform as an authorized customer user.
Where Route IT processes personal data through the Repures Platform on behalf of a hotel, hotel group or other customer — for example, guest review content, authorized user details or property-related information — that customer generally acts as the data controller, and Route IT Solutions FZC acts as the data processor or service provider.
Such processing is governed by the applicable customer agreement, data processing terms and the customer's instructions and is summarized in this Privacy Policy for transparency.
The Repures name refers to the software product and Platform owned and operated by Route IT Solutions FZC and does not represent a separate legal entity.
This Privacy Policy is intended to reflect the requirements of the United Arab Emirates Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("UAE PDPL"), where applicable.

The Platform is not directed at individuals under the age of 18, and Route IT does not knowingly collect personal data directly from children for the purpose of creating Repures accounts or marketing the Platform.
Review content processed through the Repures Platform may incidentally contain information referring to children or other individuals. Such information is processed as part of providing reputation management services to our customers.
11. Third-Party Platforms and Websites
The Repures Platform may integrate with, obtain information from or provide links to third-party review, travel, search, messaging and other platforms or services.

Route IT is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party platforms where those platforms determine their own purposes and means of processing personal data.
The inclusion of a third-party integration or link within the Repures Platform does not mean that Route IT controls that third party's privacy or security practices.
12. Customer Responsibilities
Customers using the Repures Platform are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Platform and any personal data they provide to or process through the Platform complies with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
Where a customer acts as the data controller and Route IT acts as the data processor, Route IT processes personal data on the customer's documented instructions and in accordance with the applicable customer agreement and data processing terms.
Customers are responsible for determining the lawful purposes for which they use review information, analytics, reports, AI-assisted responses and other information made available through the Repures Platform.
