Privacy Policy for Jeepa Travel Sikkim

At Jeepa Travel Sikkim, we value the trust you place in us when you plan your journey. This policy explains how we handle your personal details and the steps we take to keep your information safe. By visiting our website or choosing our travel services, you consent to the rules listed below.

Details we need from you

To create a smooth travel experience in Sikkim, we must collect specific information. This usually includes:

• Your full name and contact number.
• A valid email address for correspondence.
• Your residential or permanent address.
• Copies of government-issued identity cards (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Passport).
• Recent passport-sized photographs for permit applications.
• Your specific travel preferences to ensure your hotels and transport are perfectly arranged.

Because Sikkim is a sensitive border region, these documents and details are essential for us to follow local laws and security protocols.

Website interactions and comments

If you choose to leave a comment on our blog or fill out a query form on our site, we collect the information you provide in those fields. To keep our website secure and free from spam, we also record your browser type and your IP address. This data helps us respond to your questions quickly and keeps our digital community safe.

How your information helps us

We use your data only for purposes that help your trip. Primarily, we use it for the following:

• Booking your hotel rooms and arranging your vehicles.
• Applying for Protected Area Permits (PAP) or Restricted Area Permits (RAP) on your behalf.
• Sending you updates about your itinerary.
• Alerting you about sudden changes in mountain weather or road conditions.

How we work with our partners

Your privacy is important, and we do not trade your information with outside marketing companies. However, we must share specific details with the people who make your trip possible:

• Government Authorities: The Sikkim Tourism Department and local police require your details and address for permits.
• Local Service Providers: We share necessary details with our trusted hotel partners, drivers, and local guides in Gangtok and across the state.

Keeping your data secure

We treat your personal documents with great care. Your identity files and address details are stored in a secure environment and are only accessed by staff members who are processing your permits or bookings. Once your journey is finished and we have met all local legal requirements, we do not use your sensitive documents for any other purpose.

Digital cookies

Our website utilises files called cookies to help the site work better for you. These files remember your preferences and help us see which parts of our website are most popular. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some features of our website may not work as intended without them.

Your control over your data

You are always in control of your personal information. You can contact us at any time to ask what details we have on file or to request that we update or delete your information. Please understand that we may be required by Indian law to keep some records for a certain period for tax or security purposes.

Updates to this policy

As our business and local laws evolve, we may need to update this policy. We suggest you check this page every now and then to see our most current practices.
