At The Katiya Experience, I’m committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how I collect, use, and share it. This policy outlines my practices to ensure you have full confidence in my services.

1. The Data I Collect: I collect personal information that you provide to us directly through webforms and when you book a service with us. This includes:

  • Your name, email address, and phone number.

  • Details relating to your travel preferences and needs, including special requests, accessibility needs, and group information.

  • I also collect personal data to power my site analytics, including your browser, network, device information, IP address, and details about your use of my website.

2. How and Why I Collect and Use Your Data

  • Service Delivery: The primary purpose of collecting your data is to provide my travel planning services. Your information is essential for crafting personalized itineraries and managing your bookings.

  • Service Providers: I share information with Squarespace, my online store hosting and scheduling provider, so they can provide website and booking services to me.

  • Social Sharing: My website includes share buttons that enable you to share content with third-party services. If you click a share button, these services may receive your personal data.

4. My Use of Cookies and Other Technologies This website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app.

  • Necessary Cookies: These cookies are always used to allow my hosting platform, Squarespace, to securely serve this website to you.

  • Analytics and Performance Cookies: These cookies are used to view site traffic, activity, and other data, but only when you acknowledge my cookie banner and give your consent.

5. A Note on GDPR I’m committed to data privacy. I comply with GDPR regulations, which protect the personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland. My policies and practices, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses, are designed to ensure adequate data protection.
