Hi @Donna1180 ,
I have some confusion around this issue too. I consented to data-sharing, largely bcs I knew my data would not be shared (I rent a room in my apt, when I'm here).
Now, every time I open the Airbnb app, I get a notice to apply for a registration number. It seems like those of us with just one listing, whether a room in our home, or our home for the weeks we're gone, should be able to do short-term rentals (w/o limiting the housing stock in our already expensive city; maybe having fraud prevention mechanisms to limit those who rent out 5+ units ). But I'm concerned about
1. Who the registration is with
2. Who the data will be shared with (do I risk my long-time-landlord targeting me, even tho I think mine is currently considered legit, bcs I'm home w the guest?)
3. Is there a way or a type of host profile that does not need a registration number?
Bottom line, I've consented to data sharing bcs my profile means the data is not actually shared, and I don't know about registration.
What are your thoughts/plans?
