Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Wild Retreats (junglecamp.in) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about the data we gather through standard web technologies. Please note that we do not require registration, collect personal information via forms, or store user data in databases.

Information We Collect

When you visit junglecamp.in, certain information is automatically collected through standard web technologies. This includes:

  • IP address and approximate location based on IP
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on site
  • Referring website or search engine
  • Standard server log files

No personally identifiable information such as name, email, or phone number is collected unless voluntarily provided by you in a contact form or inquiry — and even then, such data is not stored in any database.

How We Use Information

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To analyze website traffic and user behavior
  • To improve site functionality and user experience
  • To understand which content is most popular
  • To ensure the website operates securely and efficiently

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. All data is processed in aggregate form and never linked to any individual.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the website remember your preferences and analyze site usage.

The types of cookies used include:

  • Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly
  • Performance cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the site
  • Analytics cookies: Provided by third-party services (see below)

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the website.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to help us understand website traffic and deliver relevant content:

  • Google Analytics: To collect anonymous traffic data and usage patterns
  • Google AdSense: To display advertisements based on general browsing behavior (not personal identification)
  • Cloudflare: For website security and performance optimization

These services may collect data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. They operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them:

Data Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your data. Server logs are retained for a limited period (typically 30 days) and then automatically deleted. We do not store personal data in databases, nor do we share collected information with third parties except as necessary for the operation of analytics and advertising services described above.

While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to maintain the highest standards.

Your Rights

Under Indian information technology laws and global best practices, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the data we hold about your browsing activity (if any)
  • Request deletion of your data from our server logs (subject to technical feasibility)
  • Opt out of cookies and tracking technologies
  • Be informed about how your data is used

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that due to the anonymous and aggregated nature of our data collection, some requests may not be applicable.

Children's Privacy

Wild Retreats does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. Our website is intended for general audiences, and we encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children’s online activities. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will take steps to delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
