Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Overview
EpicIndiaTrips (“we”, “us”) operates this website to publish travel guides and destination information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Information we collect
- Trip & lead forms. When you request a quote or contact us through our forms, we collect details you enter (such as name, email, phone number, travel preferences, and message). This is used to respond to your request and, where you consent, to arrange follow-up from our team or partners.
- Phone verification (OTP). To reduce spam and verify contact ownership, we may send a one-time code by SMS to your mobile number. We process your number and verification code through our systems and, when configured, through an SMS delivery provider or webhook you operate.
- Cookies & sessions. We use essential cookies to keep you logged in after phone verification (for example a secure, HTTP-only session cookie) and to complete OTP verification in the same browsing session. We do not use those cookies for third-party advertising by default.
- Technical & usage data. Like most sites, we may process server logs or analytics that include IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, to run and secure the service and improve performance.
How we use your information
- To fulfil requests you submit (quotes, itineraries, listing inquiries).
- To verify your phone number when you log in or submit a lead form.
- To detect abuse, fraud, or unusual automated traffic (including rate limiting).
- To improve content, UX, and reliability of the website.
Sharing
We may share lead information with service providers that help us operate the site (for example SMS delivery, CRM, or automation webhooks you configure). We do not sell personal data as a business model. If we use affiliate links on pages, those partners may receive standard referral data according to their own policies.
Retention
We keep form and verification data only as long as needed to respond to you, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. OTP challenges are short-lived (typically minutes). Session cookies expire after a limited period unless you log out sooner.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold, or to object to certain processing. Contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable time.
