This website tells you about The Whitby House, a vacation home in Whitby, Ontario. We keep what we collect to a minimum. Here is what happens when you use it.

Booking

We don't take bookings or payments on this site. Booking buttons and the date picker send you to our listing on Airbnb, and Airbnb's privacy policy applies to anything you do there. The availability page shows which dates are open using Airbnb's calendar; it doesn't show who is staying.

Asking the site assistant

Questions you type into "Ask a question" are sent to Anthropic, which provides the AI that writes the answers, together with information about the house. Please don't include personal details. We don't keep a record of conversations. To stop the assistant being misused we count questions per internet address for one hour; the count is then deleted.

The guestbook

When you leave a note, we receive your name, the note and anything else you enter, so we can read it before sharing it. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the form was sent by a person. Notes are emailed to us and may be kept for up to six months. Only what you agreed to share is published, and we remove a note if you ask.

Hosting and your browser

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes visitors' internet addresses to deliver pages and protect the site. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser remembers your chosen language on this device; we don't use it for anything else.

Questions or requests

To ask about your information, or to have a guestbook note removed, call or text +1 (416) 399-3228.
