Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data QuoteMyTrip.in collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights over your data. We comply with the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023.

1. Overview

QuoteMyTrip.in ("we," "our," or "us") is a travel quotation marketplace that connects Indian travelers with verified travel agencies. When you use our platform, we collect certain personal information to provide our services effectively.

We believe your personal data belongs to you. We collect only what we need, use it only for the purposes we explain, and do not sell it to third parties under any circumstances.

Our practices comply with the Information Technology Act 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules 2011, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act). If you have concerns about your data, please contact us at sales@xigmapro.com.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Service delivery — creating and managing your account, processing trip submissions, and enabling quote delivery
  • Quote matching — sharing your trip details with relevant verified agencies so they can send you personalized quotes
  • Communications — sending you quote notifications, booking updates, promotional emails (with your consent), and important service messages
  • Payment processing — processing agency subscription payments and issuing invoices
  • Analytics — understanding how users interact with the platform to improve features and performance
  • Fraud prevention and safety — detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, spam, and abuse
  • Legal compliance — complying with applicable laws, court orders, and regulatory requirements

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

With Travel Agencies

When you submit a trip requirement, verified agencies with active subscriptions can view your trip details (destination, dates, budget, group size, preferences) to prepare a quote. Your direct contact information — phone number and email — is not shared with agencies until you explicitly initiate contact by accepting or responding to a quote.

With Payment Processors

We use third-party payment processors (such as Razorpay) to handle agency subscription payments. These processors receive your payment details directly and are independently PCI-DSS compliant. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

With Law Enforcement

We may disclose your information to government authorities, courts, or law enforcement agencies if required by applicable Indian law or a valid legal order.

With Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party vendors (email delivery, cloud hosting, analytics) who process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements. These vendors are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us.

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — required for core functionality such as login sessions and security. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how users navigate the platform (e.g., Google Analytics). These collect anonymous, aggregated data.
  • Marketing cookies — used to show relevant advertisements and track campaign effectiveness. These are only set with your consent.

How to opt out: You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect core platform functionality. You can also opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures including:

  • TLS/HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest
  • Role-based access controls — employees access only data necessary for their role
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative access
