Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Hidden Path handles personal data in connection with its website and guided culinary and market tour services in Bengaluru. It applies to inquiries, bookings, communications, and related service administration.
This introduction outlines how the policy is organized and where to find key information.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, arrange dates and group details, confirm dietary or language requests where available, coordinate venue availability, manage payments and deposits, communicate meeting-point information, deliver the guided experience, maintain records, and meet accounting, tax, and legal obligations. We may also use limited technical data to secure the website and improve its reliability.
Service Providers and Partners
We may share personal data with payment processors, website hosting and technical support providers, communication tools, and other vendors that help us manage bookings or operate the website. These parties may process data only for the services they provide to us and are expected to handle it with appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data when required to comply with law, lawful requests, court orders, tax or accounting obligations, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We may also share information where disclosure is necessary to protect the security of our services or the rights of guests and staff.
Contact Information
Data We Collect
We may process identification details, contact information, booking and payment records, dietary preferences shared for tour planning, meeting-point and scheduling information, communication content, and limited technical data such as device or browser information. Where relevant, we may also record route preferences, group size, and language requests needed to arrange a guided culinary or market experience.
Sources of Data
We receive data from website forms, email, telephone calls, consultation requests, payment-related interactions, and messages exchanged during booking or tour coordination. We may also obtain technical data automatically from the website and, where necessary, from service providers involved in processing a booking or confirming availability.
Types of Cookies
We may use session cookies to keep the site functioning during a visit, preference cookies to remember basic settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies are not used to collect more information than is reasonably needed for these purposes.
Cookie Controls
We use standard cookie controls for essential site functions and basic usage measurement. You may manage cookies through your browser or device settings, and some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled. Where the browser permits, you can clear stored cookies at any time.
Your Rights
Subject to legal limits, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of data that is no longer needed, or restriction of certain processing. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where that basis is used.
How to Make a Request
To exercise a privacy right, send a clear request describing the data or activity concerned. We may ask for information needed to verify the request and to protect against unauthorized disclosure. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the reason where required.
Retention of Data
We retain personal data for the period needed to manage inquiries, confirm bookings, deliver tours, handle payments, resolve disputes, and meet accounting or legal obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it where practicable.
