Overview
One Short Trip ("we", "us", "our") operates oneshorttrip.com, a travel guide and blog covering short getaways from Bangalore and nearby cities across Karnataka and Rajasthan. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights available to you. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly
- Your name, email address and phone number when you fill out our Contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, or ask us to help plan a trip.
- Messages you send us via WhatsApp, email, or our enquiry forms, including trip dates, destinations, and preferences you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
- Standard technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, and the pages you visit, collected through server logs and analytics tools.
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies — see the Cookies & Tracking section below.
Information from third parties
- If you interact with us on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, we may receive limited profile information those platforms make available, based on your own privacy settings there.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide the travel advice, itineraries, or trip-planning help you ask for.
- Send you our newsletter or trip updates — only if you've opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
- Improve our website, content and overall visitor experience.
- Keep oneshorttrip.com secure and running smoothly.
- Meet any applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to anyone, ever.
Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of trusted services to run this site, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — helps us understand website traffic and how visitors use our content.
- WhatsApp Business — for direct trip-planning conversations that you initiate with us.
- Form and email delivery services — to process and deliver messages submitted through our Contact and newsletter forms.
- Our web hosting provider — to store and serve the website securely.
We do not share your personal information with any third party for their own marketing purposes.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. For example, enquiry and contact records are generally retained for as long as needed to respond to you, and for a reasonable period afterwards for our own records, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures — including secure hosting and restricted access to stored data — to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, or loss. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on where you're located, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications at any time.
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, simply email hello@oneshorttrip.com and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe. Visitors in the European Economic Area have rights under the GDPR, and visitors in India have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — we aim to honour applicable rights regardless of where you're writing from.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it promptly.
Content Ownership, Copyright & Reuse
The large majority of the text, photographs, itineraries and guides on oneshorttrip.com are original work, created from our own first-hand travel experience, and are protected by copyright. You're always welcome to read, share, and link to our pages — we love it when you do.
If you'd like to republish, copy, or substantially reuse our content elsewhere (text or images), please:
- Credit "One Short Trip" as the source, and
- Include a visible, clickable link back to the original page on oneshorttrip.com, and
- Reach out to us first at hello@oneshorttrip.com for larger reproductions or any commercial use.
Content used without attribution, or passed off as someone else's original work, is a violation of our copyright, and we reserve the right to request its removal.
Third-Party Links
Our site links to external websites — hotels, tour operators, transport providers, government tourism portals and more — for your convenience. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites, and we'd encourage you to review their own privacy policies before sharing any personal information with them.
International Visitors
oneshorttrip.com is operated from India, and any information you provide may be processed and stored in India. By using our site, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in a country whose data protection laws may differ from those of your home country.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision — we'd encourage you to check back periodically.
