Last updated: June 2026

Shanthi Comforts ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you visit our website or make a booking, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

When you make a booking, we collect your full name, mobile number, email address, Aadhaar number (for identity verification as required under Karnataka homestay regulations), and the names of accompanying guests.

Payment Information

Payments are processed securely through Razorpay. We do not store your credit/debit card details or UPI information on our servers. Razorpay's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment data.

Identity Documents

We may collect a copy of your Aadhaar card or other government-issued ID for physical check-in verification, as mandated by local law enforcement requirements for homestays.

Usage Data

We collect basic server logs including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited solely to maintain the security and performance of our website.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To process, confirm, and manage your booking
  • To send booking confirmation emails and OTP verification codes
  • To communicate important updates about your stay (check-in time, special requests)
  • To comply with legal obligations including identity verification for guest registers
  • To send promotional offers and coupon codes (only with your consent)
  • To improve our website and service quality

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Service Providers

We share necessary information with Razorpay (payment processing) and Nodemailer/SMTP services (email delivery). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information to law enforcement or government authorities if required by applicable Indian law, court order, or to protect the safety of our guests and staff.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger or sale of the property, guest information may be transferred as part of the business assets, subject to the same privacy protections.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, secure server infrastructure, and restricted access to personal data. Aadhaar numbers are stored in encrypted form and access is limited to authorised staff only. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your booking information for a minimum of 3 years as required by Indian tax and hospitality regulations. Identity document copies are retained for 1 year post check-out. You may request deletion of non-legally-required data by contacting us.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us for prompt deletion.
