Privacy Policy & Data Protection

1. Information We Collect

GulshanHotels.com operates as an independent hotel directory and curated reservation guide. We collect minimal information strictly necessary to provide accurate lodging details:

• Voluntarily Submitted Information: When you submit a guest review, contact our concierge desk, or subscribe to our newsletter, we store details such as your name, email address, rating score, and feedback text.
• Technical Device Logs: For security monitoring and DDoS mitigation, our edge hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) automatically processes standard web server logs (including truncated IP addresses, browser types, and visited page paths).
• Direct Hotel Inquiries: Communications initiated via our WhatsApp concierge links transfer directly to the respective hotel or concierge team under end-to-end encryption.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information collected through our platform is utilized solely for legitimate operational purposes:

• To display verified stay experiences and authentic guest ratings across our hotel profiles.
• To dispatch hotel availability confirmations and response inquiries initiated via our contact forms.
• To audit and prevent fraudulent reviews, rate manipulation, or automated web scraping.
• To maintain Core Web Vitals performance and technical stability across global content delivery networks.

3. Third-Party Booking Partners & Affiliate Disclosure

GulshanHotels.com aggregates verified reservation channels, including direct hotel reception desks and global booking platforms (such as Agoda, Booking.com, and Expedia).

When you click an external reservation link (e.g., "Book Now" or "Official Website"), you are directed to an external third-party domain. These partner websites operate under their own independent privacy policies and tracking protocols. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy statements before completing transactions.

Disclosure: Some reservation buttons on this portal contain partner referral links. If you complete a hotel booking through these links, we may receive a referral commission at zero additional cost to you.

4. Cookies & Local Browser Storage

We adhere to privacy-friendly principles and do not deploy invasive cross-site profiling trackers:

• Local Browser Storage (LocalStorage): Used strictly on your local device to remember your saved hotels ("Wishlist Heart" feature) so you can review your shortlisted accommodations upon returning.
• Essential Infrastructure Cookies: Deployed by Cloudflare strictly for SSL security verification, bot management, and speed caching.

5. Data Retention & Your Rights (GDPR / Global Standards)

Regardless of your geographic location, you retain full rights over any personal information submitted to our platform:

• Right to Access: You may request a summary of any personal data linked to your email address.
• Right to Erasure / Deletion: You may request the immediate removal of any guest review, comment, or email subscription you previously submitted.
• Right to Correction: If you represent a listed hotel property and notice inaccurate rate details or contact coordinates, you may request an immediate audit update.
