Your privacy is very important to Angad Travels, Inc. ("we" or "us"). With
that in mind, we have established and implemented information handling
practices for www.angadtravelsusa.com ("site") that we believe are consistent
with the highest standards and best practices of organizations doing
business on the Internet. This privacy policy ("policy") describes the
practices that apply to our site, including, specifically, the
information we collect about you, when and how we collect that
information and what may happen to that information. We have prepared a
detailed policy because we believe you should know as much as possible
about our practices so that you can make an informed decision about the
extent of your use of our site.
Simply put:
- we will not collect personally identifiable information like
your name, e-mail and mailing address and telephone number ("Personal
Information") without your knowledge and permission;
- we will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties unless you have authorized us to do so;
- we
will allow you to view, correct or remove your Personal Information and
other information associated with your registration as a user of our
site; and
- we will take reasonable steps to protect the security of the Personal Information we collect from you.
The remainder of this policy describes our information handling practices in detail.
When You Are Just Visiting Us...
You can always visit our site without revealing who you are or
providing any Personal Information. When you visit our site or visit
our site through one of our partner's sites, we do collect usage
information ("session data"), but it is anonymous and is not linked to
you as an individual. We use session data to better understand things
like how our site is navigated, how many visitors arrive at specific
pages, the length and frequency of stays at our site, the variety of
searches of our site's database, the types of browsers and computer
operating systems used by our visitors and the Internet Protocol
addresses from which our visitors connect to our site. We use this
information to improve our site content and ease of use.
Sharing of Personal Information.
Generally, we only disclose your Personal Information to those travel
providers that you decide to make arrangements with through us.
For example, when you purchase an airline ticket or reserve a rental
car or hotel room, we will provide the airline, car rental agency or
hotel, as the case may be, with the Personal Information needed to
process your transaction. We use our reasonable efforts to ensure that
these travel providers will also protect your Personal Information. We
contract with other companies to perform various functions necessary to
operate our business - for example, to deliver tickets, ship items and
process credit cards. We will share with these other companies only
that Personal Information they require to fulfill your orders. These
companies agree that they will not use or disclose that Personal
Information for any other purpose. Other than as explained in this
policy, we will not disclose any Personal Information we collect from
you to others without your permission, except in certain limited
circumstances: (a) to protect the security of our site;
(b) to protect ourselves against liability; (c) in response to legal
process, (d) if we believe in good faith that the law requires it; or
(e) in connection with a sale of our business or company. Please note
that if we receive a formal request to disclose your Personal
Information in connection with a legal action, we will attempt to tell
you about it at least ten (10) days before we respond to that request,
if permitted by law.
Corporate Travel
If you, or someone acting on your behalf, purchase(s) travel services
or accommodations through us and (a) you, or someone acting on
your behalf, tell(s) us that your purchase is for corporate travel
purposes either by (i) indicating in the booking path that the purchase
is for corporate travel or (ii) indicating that the credit card being
used is a corporate credit card and (b) we have entered into an
agreement with your corporation to provide data on the purchase of
travel services or accommodations by the corporation's personnel, we
will provide your corporation with the Personal Information necessary
for the corporation to track your corporate travel purchased at Angad Travels.
Other Travelers.
If you decide to book, reserve or purchase travel services or
accommodations for other travelers using your Traveler Profile, we will
collect certain Personal Information about these other travelers. You
will need to make sure that each of these other travelers agrees, in
advance, that you can disclose their Personal Information to us. We
will retain these other travelers' Personal Information in your
Traveler Profile.
Notification of Changes...
We may change this policy from time to time. If we decide to change
this policy in a material way (for example, a change regarding
disclosure of Personal Information), we will post notice of the change
on our site at least thirty (30) days before putting the
change into effect. If we decide to change our policy in a less
significant way, we will simply post notice of the change on our site
at least thirty (30) days before putting the change into effect.
Links...
Our site provides links to other sites. When you click on one of these
links, you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do
not control and for which we cannot be responsible. You should
carefully review the privacy statements or policies on any other site
that you visit because those privacy statements or policies will apply
to your visit to that site and may be very different from our policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or our
information handling practices, you may contact our Chief Privacy
