Summary of Changes

This version of the Privacy Policy starts with the most important elements for users—definitions and scope—followed by the details on the data collected, how it’s used, and users’ rights. We’ve placed the Intellectual Property and Acceptable Use section at the end, as it’s more about the general use of the website rather than privacy-specific content. The policy closes with information about changes and user consent.

This order flows logically, helping users understand the collection and usage of their data first, then detailing their rights and the responsibilities of Businestay Ltd, while providing transparency about business practices and links to other websites.
