At The Travel Buddy ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible from https://www.thetravelbuddy.in, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways:
- Information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form, or subscribe to updates.
- Automatically collected information — like your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on the site, collected through standard server logs and cookies.
Cookies
The Travel Buddy uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages the visitor accesses, and to personalize web page content based on the visitor's browser type or other information. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings; disabling cookies may affect certain features of the site.
Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service, to display ads on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to this site and/or other sites.
Third-party ad servers or ad networks — including Google — may use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their respective advertisements. These technologies are received directly by a visitor's browser as part of the ad delivery process, and the resulting information (which may include an IP address) is used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content shown. The Travel Buddy has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site — such as which pages are popular and how long visitors stay. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual visitors. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
This Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites linked from our site. We advise you to consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information, including how to opt out of certain practices.
Children's Privacy
The Travel Buddy is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Consent
By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
