Pay attention to your privacy settings. Not only does this help protect your personal information, but it also ensures a secure experience for your guests.

Controlling Access

Privacy settings play a crucial role in managing your online presence on Lake. For example, you can:

• Limit early check-ins to protect your property and ensure it’s ready for the next guest.
• Control access to your HomeAway or Avantio listing using specific privacy settings that restrict who can book your property.
• Connect your account to other services and tools through Zapier to automate certain tasks while maintaining control over your data.

Deciding on Your Level of Privacy

When evaluating privacy settings, here’s what you should consider:

1. What data do you want to share? You don’t want to overexpose your personal or property information accidentally.
2. Who has access to your account data? Ensure you know who can access your sensitive data and ensure it is only on a need-to-know basis.
3. Is the technology secure? Look for management software that prioritizes data security and regularly updates its systems to protect against potential threats.
