Privacy Policy
Written in plain language: what information we collect, why we need it, and how it stays protected — so you can focus on the journey, not the fine print.
At Him Journey Tours, your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we keep it safe, and the choices you have over it. By using our website or booking a trip, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
- Booking details: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, emergency contact, and government-issued ID details required for permits, hotel check-ins, and transport manifests.
- Payment information: processed securely by our payment partners — we never store full card numbers, UPI PINs, or net-banking credentials on our servers.
- Trip preferences: dietary requirements, fitness level, medical notes you volunteer, and travel-month preferences used to tailor departures.
- Communications: messages exchanged with us over WhatsApp, email, or phone, retained so our team can pick up conversations where they left off.
- Usage data: pages visited, searches performed, device and browser information, collected through essential cookies and basic analytics to improve the website experience.
How We Use Your Information
- To confirm and operate your trip bookings, permits, and stays.
- To share trip updates, departure details, packing lists, and support messages before, during, and after your trip.
- To process payments, deposits, and refunds through our payment partners.
- To send occasional offers and new destinations — only if you opt in.
- To comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations that apply to travel operators.
Sharing & Disclosure
We share information only with partners essential to running your trip: hotels and homestays, transport providers, permit authorities, trekking associations, and payment gateways. Each partner receives only the details they need to deliver their part of the trip. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing.
We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or a government authority, or where necessary to protect the safety of travellers and staff.
Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses a small number of essential cookies to keep forms and bookings working, plus privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are useful. We do not run third-party advertising trackers. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; booking flows will continue to work.
Data Security & Retention
Your data is stored on secured systems with restricted, role-based access, and ID documents shared for permits are deleted once the relevant trip concludes. Booking records are retained as required by law; marketing preferences can be changed any time by messaging us.
Your Rights & Choices
You may request a copy of your data, ask for corrections, withdraw marketing consent, or request deletion by contacting us on BookingHimJourneyTours@gmail.com. We respond to verified requests within 30 days. Deletion requests do not apply to records we are legally required to retain, such as invoices.
Children’s Privacy
Our trips are open to travellers aged 18 and above, and minors travel only with a guardian who provides their details. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our services grow; the latest version published on this page always applies. Material changes will be announced on the website and by email to travellers with upcoming bookings.
