The way we handle your personal information depends on our relationship with you and the purpose for which it is processed.

Personal information refers to data that can identify an individual. GreenDot Tour & Travels does not generally collect sensitive information such as race, political views, religion, or health details.

The type of personal information we may collect includes:

  • Gender.
  • Information about your use of our products or services.

Depending on the services you choose, we may also require:

Data Protection Measures

GreenDot Tour & Travels takes security seriously. While we strive to protect your data through secure systems, the transmission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. Any data shared online is at your own risk.

Sharing of Personal Information

To improve service efficiency, we may share your data with our parent company, subsidiaries, or associated entities under secure conditions. If GreenDot Tour & Travels undergoes a merger, sale, or restructuring, customer information may be transferred to the appropriate party.

Your details may be shared with service providers such as hotels, airlines, transport services, or other travel suppliers to fulfill your booking. You acknowledge and authorize us to share this information when making a booking. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers, as their data usage is beyond our control. Additionally, we may share data with business partners, including banks, insurance companies, visa consulates, and other travel-related entities.

In compliance with legal obligations, we may disclose personal information when required by law, a court order, or other legal processes.

Collection of Personal Information

We collect personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Information is gathered when you:

  • Contact us via phone, email, or social media.
  • Visit our website or engage with our services.
  • Have a third party make a booking on your behalf.

If someone books travel on your behalf, we assume they have obtained your consent to share your details. If you believe your data has been provided without your consent, please notify us immediately.

We strive to maintain accurate records of your personal information. If any updates or corrections are needed, please inform us promptly. GreenDot Tour & Travels is not responsible for losses due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by you or a third party acting on your behalf.

Social Media Integrations

Our website and mobile apps may use social media features such as “Like” and “Share” buttons. These are operated by third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) and may collect data such as your IP address or website activity. Please review the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Continued use of our services after changes are made indicates your acceptance of the updated terms. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.

Third-Party Advertisements

Our website may display third-party advertisements. These advertisers may collect data to show relevant ads based on your interests. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of third-party advertisers and encourage you to review their terms before interacting with them.

Sharing of Traveler Photos and Videos

If you voluntarily submit photos or videos of your travel experiences to GreenDot Tour & Travels, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute the content across our platforms. You confirm that you own the rights to any submitted content and that it does not violate any applicable laws.

Security Precautions

We implement strict security measures to protect user data. Secure servers are used to handle account information and transactions. Payments made on our website are processed through trusted gateways such as RazorPay, PayU, and PayTm. Personal data that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Confidentiality

Certain business-related information shared with you may be classified as confidential. You agree not to disclose such information without prior written consent. Similarly, we maintain strict confidentiality of your personal data unless legally required to share it.
