Privacy policy
What we collect when you book a shared tour, why we need it, and how we look after it.
01What we collect
To book a shared departure and arrange your permits, we collect only what those steps require:
- Your name, phone number and email.
- Traveller details needed for permits — government ID type and number, nationality, and a passport-size photo.
- Your booking history with us (trips, dates, payments and refunds).
02Why we use it
We use your information only to run your trip and support you:
- To confirm your seats and send your booking, voucher and QR code.
- To apply for the Restricted / Protected Area Permits your route requires.
- To contact you about your booking, a departure change, or a refund.
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.
03Who we share it with
We share the minimum necessary with the authorities that issue your Sikkim permits, and with the drivers and lodges running your specific trip. We use trusted service providers to host the site and store data securely on our behalf. We do not share your details with anyone else.
04How long we keep it
We keep booking and permit records for as long as needed to operate your trip and meet legal, tax and safety obligations. Permit photos and ID details are retained only as long as required for the permit and our records.
05Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to records we're legally required to keep. Just get in touch and we'll help.
