  • Booking details: your name, email, mobile number, city, number of guests, travel dates and any special requests.
  • Payment information: payments are processed by Razorpay. We receive the payment status and transaction ID, but never your full card, UPI PIN or bank login details.
  • Messages: information you send through the contact form, email or WhatsApp.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and basic usage logs, used for security and to prevent fraud.

How we use it

  • To process and manage your booking, send confirmations and contact you about your stay.
  • To share necessary details (name, phone, dates, guests) with your host family so they can welcome you.
  • To process payments and refunds, and to keep accounting and tax records.
  • To respond to your enquiries and provide support.
  • To comply with legal obligations, such as guest registration with local authorities.

We do not sell your personal data. We will only send you promotional messages if you have agreed to receive them, and you can opt out at any time.
