2. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how JungleGenie ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares, and retains information through the JungleGenie Platform (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

3. Information We Collect

We collect: your name and email address, used as your login ID (for account creation and sign-in); user IDs, address, phone number, nationality/residency status, and other visitor details you provide when completing a booking or tax information form (some fields may be mandatory depending on the reservation, the partner, or applicable tax requirements); purchase history and payment records (payment date, reference, and amount you report after making a payment directly to a partner — we do not collect or store your bank account or card details); your profile photo (optional); in-app chat messages with partners regarding your reservations; travel-content ratings you submit; and general, non-personally-identified records of which travel-content is viewed, used only to rank and improve search results.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to: operate core booking, reservation, invoicing, navigation, and payment-reporting functionality; verify your identity and help prevent fraud (for example, blocking IP addresses or accounts flagged through OTP verification reports); manage your account; and comply with applicable tax, financial, and legal recordkeeping obligations. We do not use your information for advertising, marketing, or automated personalization of the content shown to you.

5. Sharing With Partners

Because the App connects you with partner businesses (property owners, activity or tour operators) who manage the reservations you make, certain information you provide is visible to the relevant partner. This includes your name, profile photo, contact details, booking/tax form responses, ratings, and chat messages related to your reservation. This is considered a data sharing arrangement with the partner, even though the partner uses a separate app (JungleGenie Partner App) that we also operate.

6. Third Party Sharing Limits

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with third-party advertisers. Information is shared only with the partner managing your specific reservation, strictly to enable booking, reservation, and payment-reporting functionality.

7. Location Data

Where map features are available for a reservation, we use your device's precise location only on your device, to show your position on the map, help with navigation along a selected route, and alert you if you go off-route or outside the map boundary. This location data is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account and reservation-related information for as long as your account is active. Where required, certain data is retained even after account deletion, as described in following 'Account Deletion, Retained Data and Legal Exceptions' clauses.

9. Account Deletion

Upon requesting account deletion, your account will be scheduled for deletion after a 30-day buffer period, during which it remains active and you may cancel the request at any time from the account deletion option from your user profile page on app. A confirmation email may be sent when the request is submitted, and an in-app notification may also be shown. After requesting deletion, you may undo the request only after a 24-hour period has passed; if you re-request deletion afterward, a new 30-day buffer period will begin from that re-request. After the buffer period ends, your profile and personal data will be deleted or anonymized, except for your login ID (email address) used to make a reservation and the data supplied with it, invoices, reservation chat, and tax-related records, which may be retained as required by applicable regional law.

10. Retained Data and Legal Exceptions

The JungleGenie App may operate across multiple regions with different jurisdictions and laws. In accordance with applicable local jurisdictions and the regulatory or statutory requirements of partners , we may retain certain data even after your account and associated data deletion request, to comply with regional regulatory or statutory requirements and/or to help partners comply with their own regional regulatory or statutory requirements. This retained data may include: your login ID / email address used to make reservations, your name as last updated, reservation records and associated tax information (including information provided in booking/tax forms visible later on the reservation), invoices, reservation chat, and other tax-related records.

11. Security Measures

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/HTTPS) for all data transmitted between the App and our servers. We do not store your bank account, card, or UPI credentials — payments are made directly between you and the relevant partner using bank or UPI details displayed in-app, and we only store payment records you or the partner report (such as date, reference, and amount).

12. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 18 without parental or guardian involvement. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent.

13. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, except where retention is required by law as described above. To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@junglegenie.com, or for faster action, use the in-app or web account deletion option.

14. Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The version number and last-updated date will be displayed with this policy. Material changes that affect how we use your personal information will be notified to you within the app.

15. Contact Us

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at contact@junglegenie.com

16. Severability

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction (or competent authority), such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause, or provision. Furthermore, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties.

Refund eligibility and processing timelines are determined by the applicable Partner’s refund policy unless otherwise explicitly stated.
