Opt out if you’re just not into it. It appears they’ve been tackled by the mob.
Earlier this summer, we announced Project Lighthouse—an initiative to uncover, measure, and overcome discrimination when booking or hosting a home on Airbnb. The project will start in the US on August 31, and we’d like to use information from hosts and guests in the US to help. This is a reminder that you can opt out in your Privacy Settings if you don’t want to participate.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll only use information you already share
This project will address discrimination that's based on perception—so we’ll use first names and profile photos from hosts and guests to help us understand the perceived race someone might associate with them.
We’ll use it to uncover patterns of discrimination
We’ll use this information to help us understand when and where racial discrimination is happening on our platform. Any insights will be used to help develop new features and policies that create a more equitable experience for everyone.
Information won’t be tied to your specific account
We only analyze trends in bulk, and we won't use this information to change anyone's individual experience as a host or guest on Airbnb. Information will only be used for anti-discrimination work, and it will not be used in marketing or advertising.
We consulted with leading civil rights and privacy organizations to guide us
We know how delicate this work is—so we developed this work with support and input from leading civil rights organizations like Color Of Change and Upturn, along with privacy organizations like Center for Democracy & Technology, to make sure our approach is both thoughtful and respectful of your privacy.
Your first name and profile photo may be used if you don’t opt out by August 31, 2020. You can opt out after August 31, 2020 at any time, and your information won’t be collected from that point forward for Project Lighthouse.
Read our frequently asked questions
By including your information, you’re helping us identify and prevent discrimination from happening on Airbnb—and you’re taking part in an initiative to better understand how and where discrimination happens on platforms like ours. This is an important step for our industry, and we’re making the methodology publicly available to other companies who want to join in the fight.
In solidarity,
The Airbnb team
