Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 June 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what Gujarat Explorers collects, how and why we use it, who we share it with, and your choices. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are

Gujarat Explorers is an independent travel-information website. “We”/”us”/”our” mean Gujarat Explorers; “you” means any visitor. We are an information portal and are not affiliated with any government body.

2. Information we collect

We collect two broad kinds of information:

• Information you give us — e.g., your name, email and message via the contact form, or your email if you subscribe.
• Information collected automatically — IP address, approximate location, browser/device type, pages viewed, referring page and time of visit.
• Cookies and similar technologies — described below.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files placed on your device. We and our partners may use:

• Essential cookies needed for the site to work;
• Analytics cookies to see which pages are popular;
• Advertising cookies used by ad partners to show relevant ads;
• Affiliate cookies that record when a visit or purchase came from us, so commissions are credited.

You can control or delete cookies in your browser; blocking some may affect how the site works.

4. Advertising, affiliates and analytics

This site is free and funded by advertising and affiliate links. To do this and to improve the site, we rely on trusted third parties:

• We use Google AdSense (and may use other ad networks) to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings (google.com/settings/ads) or aboutads.info/choices.
• We use affiliate programmes (such as Booking.com, Agoda, MakeMyTrip and the Amazon Associates Programme). These partners may set cookies to attribute referrals and purchases to us.
• We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand site usage in aggregate.
• Each of these third parties operates under its own privacy policy.

5. How we use your information

To respond to your messages; to send our newsletter if you’ve subscribed; to understand and improve the site; to display and measure advertising and affiliate referrals; and to keep the site secure and meet legal obligations.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site (analytics, advertising, affiliate and email providers) and where required by law. If you make a cab/taxi or trip enquiry, we share the details you provide — such as your name, phone number and travel details — with the relevant independent operator or partner, solely to handle your request. Enquiries you send through WhatsApp are also processed by WhatsApp/Meta under their own privacy policy. Some providers may process data outside your country.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymise it.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask what data we hold and request correction or deletion; unsubscribe from emails via the link in any newsletter; and manage cookies and ad personalisation via your browser and the opt-out links above. Contact us at hello@gujaratexplorers.com to make a request.

9. Children’s privacy

This website is for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children; contact us if you believe a child has provided information and we will remove it.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Links to other websites

Our site links to external sites and affiliate partners we don’t control. This policy doesn’t apply to them — please review their own privacy policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time; the “last updated” date shows the latest version. Significant changes will be reflected here.
