Travel in Uttarakhand (travelinuttarakhand.com) is a free, information-only travel guide. We do not sell trips, take bookings or run accounts for visitors. This page explains what little information the site handles and why.
Information you send us
If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. They are stored in the website's database and sent to us by email so we can reply. We use them only to answer you or to correct a guide. We do not sell or share them, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
Your location on "Places near me"
The Places near me page asks your browser for your location only when you tap Use my location. The distance calculation happens inside your browser. Your location is not sent to us and is not stored. You can also pick a town instead of sharing your location.
Outside services
- Weather. Guide pages show a live forecast from Open-Meteo. Your browser requests it directly, so Open-Meteo receives your IP address and the coordinates of the place you are reading about (not your own location).
- Maps. District pages show an embedded Google Map. When it loads, Google may receive your IP address and set its own cookies, as described in Google's privacy policy.
- Directions. "Directions" links open Google Maps in a new tab. Anything you do there is covered by Google's policy.
Cookies
This site does not use advertising cookies. Our own pages may store small technical cookies needed for the site to work (for example, when an editor is logged in). Embedded Google Maps may set cookies as noted above. If we add analytics or advertising in future, we will update this page first.
Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting server keeps standard logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested and time) for security and to fix errors. These logs are not used to identify visitors.
Comments
Comments are switched off on this site, so we do not collect comment data.
Children
The site is meant for a general audience and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete any message you have sent through the contact form. Write to us through the contact page and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If the way the site handles information changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
