Welcome to TheIndiaUnveiled.com (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

This policy applies to all information collected through our website theindiaunveiled.com and any related communications (such as our newsletter).

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including your browser type, IP address (anonymised), pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This is collected via analytics tools (see Section 4).

Cookies

We use cookies — small data files placed on your device — to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors use our site. These include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (session management, security).
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand aggregate website usage patterns. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled.
• Third-party cookies: Set by embedded content or affiliate links (Booking.com, Skyscanner, Viator). These parties have their own privacy policies.

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.

We use the information we collect to:

• Deliver our newsletter to subscribers
• Respond to enquiries and support requests
• Analyse website traffic and improve content (via anonymised analytics)
• Comply with legal obligations
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Our website uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics — website traffic analysis, with IP anonymisation enabled. See: policies.google.com/privacy
• Booking.com, Skyscanner, Viator, IRCTC — affiliate links for hotels, flights, and tours. Clicking these links may set third-party cookies and share referral data with those platforms.
• Vercel — our hosting provider, which may process IP addresses and request metadata for security and performance.

TheIndiaUnveiled.com participates in affiliate programmes. This means that when you click certain links (such as hotel booking links on Booking.com or tour links on Viator) and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us maintain and grow the website. Our editorial content is independent and not influenced by affiliate relationships.

We retain newsletter subscriber email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed. On unsubscribing, your email address is removed from our mailing list within 30 days. Analytics data is retained in anonymised aggregate form.

Our website is hosted on Vercel infrastructure, which may process data in the United States and other countries. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection laws.
