Vrbo (Expedia Group)

Booking through Vrbo instead of Expedia feels like using a different company and is not — Vrbo, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity and Hotwire all sit under Expedia Group, whose companies state they process personal data jointly (Vrbo privacy statement). A traveller deliberately spreading bookings across brands to avoid building a single profile achieves nothing, because the brands were consolidated years before they were rebranded. Cross-reference the Orbitz row for what happens when a legacy platform inside such a group stops receiving engineering attention.

Data sharing

Vrbo operates under Expedia Group's privacy policy, so a Vrbo booking feeds the same profile as Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz and Travelocity — a consolidated travel history across brands the user experiences as competitors.
