Here at the Habbo Hotel we want everyone to have a good time, and we promise to keep your hotel as secure and as private as we can. The Habbo Hotel is a place for you to come and relax, bug out and meet new people. We have a few rules that you do need to accept before you can become a member, so you need to read the Privacy Policy all the way through before you can join. By clicking the "ACCEPT" button you will enter into an agreement with the Habbo Hotel and you are agreeing to us holding and processing your personal information.
If you are under 14 we think you should check with your parents or guardians that they are happy for you to be a member of Habbo Hotel, and please get them to explain any areas of this statement you may not fully understand.
If you have any concerns regarding your personal information, website content, or any queries with regard to Habbo Hotel practices please email us at info@habbogroup.com.
