How We Use Your Information

This policy explains the specific purposes for which Travories uses the personal information collected from travelers, agencies, guides, and other users. It complements our broader Privacy Policy and details the operational, commercial, and legal reasons behind each category of use. We use information only for the purposes described here or for compatible secondary purposes that you would reasonably expect.

Why We Collect Information

We collect personal information to operate a safe, transparent travel marketplace. Booking a tour with a Nepali agency from halfway around the world requires identity verification, cross-border payment processing, communication between strangers, and protection against fraud — each of those depends on specific, limited categories of data. The remainder of this page explains exactly what we do with the information you share.

How We Use Your Information

  • Making it easy for you to book trips and experiences.
  • Verifying users to keep our travel marketplace trustworthy.
  • Handling reservations and processing payments.
  • Connecting travelers with guides and operators.
  • Offering personalized recommendations and search results.
  • Enhancing the performance and usability of our platform.
  • Preventing fraud, spam, or misuse of our services.
  • Providing customer support whenever you need it.
  • Helping resolve disputes between users.
  • Meeting legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Sending important notifications about bookings or account activity.

Additionally, we may use aggregated and anonymized data for analytics and to improve the overall performance of our services.

How We Share Information

We want to assure you that we do not sell your personal data. However, some information may be shared with trusted partners in order to operate the Travories platform effectively.

With Service Providers — We may share information with partners who help us operate Travories, including:

  • Payment processors
  • Cloud hosting providers
  • Analytics tools
  • Customer support services
  • Identity verification services

These partners only receive the information necessary to perform their services and are required by written agreement to handle it securely and responsibly. We never sell personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Sharing with Travel Agencies and Guides

When you book a package, we share the booking details necessary for the agency or guide to deliver the trip — typically your name, date of birth, nationality, passport details when required by the operator, party size, and any health, dietary, or accessibility notes you provided.

We do not share your email address or phone number with agencies until a booking is confirmed. Pre-booking enquiries are routed through the Travories messaging system, which masks personal contact details on both sides until both parties have agreed to proceed.

Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may share information when required by law, by valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Travories, our users, or the public. Examples include responding to court orders, complying with anti-money-laundering checks triggered by payment volume, or cooperating with consumer protection authorities in connection with a formal complaint.

Wherever the law allows, we will notify the affected user before responding to such a request and limit the disclosure to the minimum information strictly necessary to satisfy the request.

Marketing Communications

If you opt in, we may use your contact details to send newsletters, package recommendations, or promotional offers. These communications always include a one-click unsubscribe link and you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting transactional emails (booking confirmations, payment receipts, schedule changes, refund notices) that you continue to receive for active bookings.
