Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 February 2026

1. Information We Collect

Explore Bangalore is a free, publicly accessible city guide. We collect minimal information to improve your experience:

  • Location data — Only when you grant permission, we use your browser's geolocation to calculate travel times to venues. This data is processed client-side and is never stored on our servers.
  • Analytics — We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand page views and general usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected.
  • Contact information — If you email us at enquiries@explorebangalore.com, we store your email address and message solely to respond to your enquiry.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To show travel times and sort venues by proximity (location data)
  • To understand which content is most useful and improve the site (analytics)
  • To respond to your questions or feedback (contact emails)

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. We may use third-party services (such as Google Maps for travel time calculations) that have their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies to ensure the site functions correctly (e.g., theme preference). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

5. Data Retention

Location data is never stored. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Contact emails are retained only as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Deny location access at any time via your browser settings
  • Request deletion of any personal data we hold (email us)
  • Opt out of analytics by using a browser-based ad blocker or Do Not Track setting

7. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites (Google Maps, restaurant websites, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
