Privacy Policy
Placeholder policy — have this reviewed by a lawyer before publishing, and fill in the bracketed details.
This Privacy Policy explains how Aranya Kutir Resort ("we", "us", "our"), located at Mithbav–Dahibav Road, Near Swami Samarth Math, Mithbav, Maharashtra – 416615, handles information in connection with this website and your enquiries with us. This policy is intended to align with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and associated rules, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").
1. What this website does and does not collect
This website is a static, informational site. The enquiry form on this page does not transmit your details to our servers or store them anywhere online — submitting it simply opens your own email application with a pre-filled message addressed to us. Once you send that email, your details are handled as part of our normal email correspondence with you, the same as if you had emailed us directly.
2. Third-party embeds
This site embeds a Google Map and, if you choose to play it, a YouTube video. These are provided by Google LLC / YouTube and are subject to their own privacy policies:
The video is only loaded after you click to play it, so no YouTube request or cookie is set merely by visiting this page. The map loads when the page loads and may set its own cookies in line with Google's policy above.
3. Information collected if you book or enquire
If you contact us by phone, WhatsApp, email, or through a booking platform (MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, or others), we receive the personal information you choose to share — such as your name, contact number, email address, stay dates, and meal or guest preferences. We use this only to process your booking, prepare your stay (including pre-ordered meals), and communicate with you about your visit. As required for hotel/homestay stays in India, we may also collect government-ID details at check-in for verification purposes, which are handled in line with applicable local police and tourism regulations and not published or sold.
4. How we use your information
- To confirm and manage your reservation
- To prepare pre-ordered meals and arrange your stay
- To respond to enquiries and provide customer support
- To meet legal, safety, and regulatory obligations (e.g. guest registration)
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for unrelated marketing without your consent.
5. Your rights
Under the DPDP Act, 2023, you have the right to access, correct, and request erasure of your personal data that we hold, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact our Grievance Officer below.
6. Data retention
We retain booking and guest-registration information only for as long as needed to fulfil your stay, meet legal/regulatory retention requirements, and resolve any disputes, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
7. Grievance Officer
In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules made thereunder, the Grievance Officer for this website is:
