Privacy Policy

1. About Tindimane

Tindimane (tindimane.com) is a local food and hotel discovery directory for Sagara and the Malnad region of Shivamogga district, Karnataka. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the website you agree to this policy.

2. Information we collect

Visitors:

• Search terms and filters you enter (for example a dish, hotel name or category) so we can show matching listings.
• Device location, only on the Tourist Places page and only if you allow your browser to share it, to show nearby places. Your browser asks for permission first, and you can refuse or withdraw it at any time in your browser settings.
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type and pages visited, collected through server logs and security tools to keep the site working and protected.

Hotel owners who register at hotel.tindimane.com:

• Hotel name, address, location, contact phone number, timings, menu items, prices and photos you submit.
• Account details such as your name, email address and login credentials (passwords are stored in protected form).

We do not ask visitors to create an account, and we do not take food orders or online payments.

3. How we use information

• To show food listings, hotel details, menus and nearby tourist places.
• To review, approve and display hotel listings.
• To respond to messages and support requests.
• To maintain security, prevent misuse and improve the website.

4. Public hotel information

Hotel details you submit, such as name, address, phone number, timings, menu and prices, are displayed publicly in the directory so people can find and contact you. Please submit only information you are happy to make public. Your account email and password are never shown publicly.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use only the cookies and browser storage needed for the site to work and stay secure, such as session and security cookies. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. If we add analytics or advertising in future, we will update this policy.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:

• Service providers that host and secure the website (for example our hosting provider), who process data on our behalf.
• Authorities, when required by law or to protect rights, safety and security.

When you contact a hotel by phone, that conversation is between you and the hotel and is not covered by this policy.

7. Third-party links

The site may link to other websites or services (for example a map or directions service). We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.

8. Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Hotel owners can ask us to update or remove their listing at any time. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, but no online service can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. Your rights

Under applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, or withdraw consent you have given. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

10. Children

Tindimane is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
